BestBuy letting people return DJI drones even if it’s been over a year

Sorry if this was already talked about, but since DJI got blacklisted, BestBuy is letting people return their drones for store credit. I just walked out with a $600 gift card after returning my Spark Fly More combo that I bought back in 2018. They have an internal memo, but depending on who’s at the counter (lots of new hires right now), you might need to push a little. If you bought it less than a year ago, you get a full refund, and if it’s been over a year, you get store credit.

DJI got blacklisted for government stuff, not for regular customers.

Cool. I’m still uncomfortable with it, and I’m going to use that refund to buy something American. Thanks.

Which phone were you using with your DJI?

Is this still working?

It would be awesome if B&H did this too! I lost $200 right after buying one because they released the Mini 2 just six months later.

Does this work for all DJI drones?

Yes, here’s a screenshot.

Is this still true? Anyone confirm?

Actually, BestBuy let me return my Mavic 2 Pro and the extra battery kit today. They gave me store credit, but I used it to get an Autel Pro 2. I couldn’t fly my drone after the Google 12 update, so I’m done with DJI. BestBuy won my respect.

That’s awesome!

I returned my Air 2 today and pre-ordered the Mini 3 Pro. I showed them a screenshot of the company email, and the person at the counter was like, ‘Oh yeah, I guess this works.’

Yeah, they were good about letting me return my Mavic 2 Pro and Fly More kit. They gave me store credit, and I used it for the Autel Evo II, which I’ve been enjoying.

You should print out the email and try at the customer service desk. Worst they can do is say no. :blush:

But yeah, I haven’t gotten my Mini 3 yet. It’s been three weeks with no updates.

I just got an email saying mine would ship by Saturday or they’d cancel my order. Did you get yours?

I haven’t heard anything from BestBuy. I’ve only gotten updates by refreshing the order status page. At this point, I’m expecting them to cancel it. Been waiting a month since I pre-ordered.
