Yes, you did and it doesn't sound like a common or normal occurrence when a return is done within the return period. I have never had a company pressure to do an exchange either when returning a product. Unless their refurbished return terms state that, it doesn't seem normal.
Yes, it doesn't seem normal. But I am telling you this is what happened. I have nothing to hide and nothing to gain by bashing DJI. And I like their drones! I am sharing my story as what happened when I tried to return a defective product within the return window.

What doesn't seem normal is why every time I share this story someone like you has to come out and defend DJI? I'm the consumer and I'm sharing you my awful experience where they held $1,000 of my money hostage for 6 months.

Good to know. I will make sure I buy with my Amex Platinum so I can file a claim with them if things go south.

Word of caution - I spoke with a DJI rep who confirmed that the 4 pro refurb is not in stock. Estimated shipping is 30 days out. No real answer when I asked "What happens if you don't get any refurbs in".

I decided to make an offer on verde foot phalanges and grabbed a Pro 4 Fly more combo for $920.

I'm leaving my comment here as a warning for others about DJI and their refubished drones. Every time I shared this story/opinion on DJI reddit or Facebook group the bandwagoners come out of the woodworks defending DJI.

I ordered a refurbished Mini 3 Pro last year directly from DJI. I had a trip coming up and I wanted to bring a drone. Shipping took almost a week. Drone arrived, turned it on, and long story short, it was missing a vital internal piece and it didn't work. So I went to send it back to DJI. Because it was a refurbished unit, they said they had to open a case number, I had to send it back, they had to repair/inspect the defunct device, and they were going to send me another refurbished unit. The whole process was going to take 2-3 weeks. I said please, just give me a refund, I can't wait on another refurbished unit. My trip was the next week. I immediately ordered a new one from BestBuy, picked it up, and it worked flawlessly.

They REFUSED to give me a refund. They said they had to resend me a drone. I said, per your own return policy, I should be able to get a refund. They said no we have to ship you back the drone since you opened a case number. I said no, YOU opened the case number and return process when I told you that the drone I bought refurbished didn't work.

So they send me another refurbished drone about 3 weeks after I first purchased. I told them I want a refund. They said ok, here's your shipping label, when we get the drone back we will give you your refund.

2 weeks after they received the drone, still no refund in my Paypal account, no updates on my Case # with this drone. They then tried to say they never received the drone, they had no record of ever receiving the drone, even though I had screenshots and tracking numbers, and thankfully I wrote all that down. I spent hours between the phone and online chat. This went on for a few weeks. This went on so long that the tracking number from UPS actually expired, and thank God I had screenshots of the UPS site showing delivery. Finally they said they did have the drone, my refund would be processed within 60 days.

I finally get a refund 2 months later, and then a week later, DJI re-charged my Paypal account for the same amount as my first purchase. I was furious. That took more hours on chat and phone and talking with Paypal as to how this was even possible.

I think it took close to 6 months for me to finally get my refund.

DJI makes the best drones on the market and I absolutely love flying them. But my GOD I had such a horrible experience. I will never buy a refurbished drone again that I couldn't immediately return to a 3rd party reliable seller like Amazon or Bestbuy.

My IG is @clarkefishing if you want to see some of the content I've captured with the Mini 3 Pro and Mavic 3 Classic
Bro, why didn't you just open a paypal case or CC chargeback? Think you made this hard on yourself…

I did open a Paypal case and that's ultimately how I got my refund.

I can't decide whether it's worth it to get the RC2 controller with the screen because it's only 5.5 in and 700 nits.

My S24 Ultra is 6.8 in and 2000 nits and I also have a 9" tablet I like to use with my mini 2.

Tough one.
I have the mini 3 and RC controller. controller is plenty bright but it does have connectivity issues that i never have with my phone. Almost lost my drone a few times in heavy residential areas

What do you mean by that: "I decided to make an offer on verde foot phalanges and grabbed a Pro 4 Fly more combo for $920."

You have nice options there. For me it was worth it to have the all-in-one convenience of the RC 2, especially for taking it on the bicycle. A slightly larger screen would sweet tho.
After researching I see there are def advantages and disadvatages so to each their own.

You can't optionally hook up your phone/tablet to the RC2 but you can do HDMI out like this guy...

What do we think of DJI Care Refresh?

Also some reviewers have said the upgrades from Mini 3 Pro are minimal so I'm also looking at the costco deal for that...

Having the screen on the controller makes a world of difference. I got the original mavic.I hate the dji app and having to use my phone to control it is just a hassle. I imagine myself using the drone A LOT more with the convenience of the controller screen and I would get this if it were delivering now instead of a month from now for my upcoming trip.

Nice Costco deal there. But yeah, it really depends on how you want to fly it. The mini 4 has "waypoints". That is a slick feature to have, yet would [you] need it.. It also has better obstacle avoidance. Those are the two main features of the mini 4 that I can think of.

Oh, their Care refresh - many people find value in having it so I bought it also.

Do they charge tax? I went to try and purchase one but it doesn't show. Maybe if I complete the purchase it'll show tax?

I swear that DJI uses the refurb moniker as a means of getting around their contracts with retail partners. EVERY "refurbished" item I have bought from them has looked, smelled, and acted BNIB. It also comes with a full length warranty. Absolutely no point in buying new. If I needed a new drone I would be all over this. Alas the places where drones are allowed that are actual worth flying a drone are few and far between, so I am sticking with my "refurbished" Air 2S for the foreseeable future.
I agree, just got a refurbished action 4 and there is no way it's not a new in box item.

That's not how screen brightness works. 2000 nits on your phone is not full screen. It's a 1% window. If your phone ran at 2000 nits all the time you'd go blind.
