This seller seems very cognizant regarding customs fees when sending to the US. After thanking them, I casually mentioned, "hopefully there won't be any additional fees when it gets to customs." To which they replied, "we will adjust the declaration value carefully to help minimize the chance of customs charges. We truly hope your new drone clears customs smoothly. Wishing you a great flight ahead!"
Which was pretty much the best answer ever, I thought. After Saladshooter's success, I felt like my best bet was on the same seller.
Yeah, not having a warranty or care refresh is probably the biggest drawback on this deal, but I have been a state farm customer for years, and a 4000 dollar personal articles policy will be only 60 bucks for the whole year. So the no warranty isn't a deal breaker for me. On the day I receive it, before I even open the box, I'm going down to my agents office and have that policy written. When I renewed my car insurance last week, I told them I was thinking about doing this, so they're ready for me.
Side note: I had a 3600 dollar policy written on my MacBook Pro
M1 Pro when it came out a few years back. I didn't put apple care on it since I had the policy, and when a charging cable got between the display and keyboard, cracking the display, I made a call and they deposited 3600 bucks in my bank account within a couple of days. They didn't even ask for the old computer, which still worked, just no display. They then forwarded that same policy to my new MacBook Pro
M3 Max and I just recently paid the yearly premium of 60 bucks just the other day. There was never any threat of cancelation because I made a claim. On the contrary, they seemed delighted to want to insure more of my stuff. And I'm delighted to let them.
