Hello fellas.
I am about to purchase a drone and I am not sure what to do. Although I have read a ton of excellent reviews on refurbished drones, I did come across a post about a guy who appeared to have received a complete return from Best Buy. Anyone with opinions or wisdom to share?
If you get a return unit, you’ll probably be given a brand new replacement. This might mean a bit more waiting, but since you paid less, you’re still getting a great deal on a new drone.
Keep in mind that refurbished items from Best Buy might not always be in perfect condition. When you receive the drone, carefully inspect it. Look over all the seams and edges for any signs of damage or wear.
I recently purchased a refurbished Mini 3 Pro from Best Buy. When it arrived, one of the propellers was missing from one of the arms, and two of the three remaining arms had the wrong propellers. The controller was still logged into the previous owner’s account, though it wasn’t bound like some other refurbished units I’ve read about. It looks like Best Buy isn’t really refurbishing these items; they’re just reselling trade-ins without even checking the contents.
