Here's another one. DJI leaves America, a vacuum is formed, and there's no shortage of California-based "authorized DJI partners" to take their place. I hope the drone manufacturers pop up as quickly as the sellers.

It's America and you're free to sell and profit all you want, I'm just not a fan of the methods such as using the DJI name in the URL, claiming to be "authorized", so many 500% and 1000% guarantees. The gratuitous use of the DJI images, drone scenario likenesses....even the website looks very similar to DJI.com; but it's not. There are too many customers who are not aware of the situation and will gladly buy from these guys not knowing what they will get into. In this environment where DJI has left everything unprotected and in disarray, you'll have victims who will either believe DJI hasn't left the market or that they've returned to the US and is eager to sell drones again.

How can a US-based website (with a Chinese WhatsApp) not charge sales tax, free shipping in 3-4 days, no sign or mention of customs fees or tariffs, appears to be selling at MSRP (so likely no additional charges built-in), everything marked as In Stock? They even have 1- and 2-year service plans with a provider and a "membership club." They take credit cards and Paypal which means you can't be completely scammed and they also have a regular refund policy.

Too many red flags for me but I'm sure there are folks who are willing to give it a try. Just thought I would point it before it eventually comes up. Maybe they'll have the NEO 2 one day.

To be honest with you. What you say is unfair. It isn't DJI that's left you with your arse hanging out... they still do honest business in the countries where they're not pariahs. It's the deliberate constraints and blockages engineered by your own 'representatives' that have led to this situation in the US.

Attribute blame where blame is due.

Make the most of it... I'll give this comment all of 10 minutes before it's complained about and deleted because of "political" reasons

I wonder if this is the same company in your link above selling under a different name?

I also don’t like how everything looks like it’s an official DJI web site to fool customers.

Yeah I think they might be the same; I had forgotten about that site.
