Quote from FantasticStove4101 :
I think a better question is why would any seller spend their labor(i.e. money) to open each drone pkg to do something with it, and then they cannot explain why they are doing it. Obviously there is some benefit to them, whether they reprogram it, or register the drone with DJI, or introduce a way to track it, but they derive a benefit somehow. For me, once a product pkg is unsealed before I receive it, it is no longer new.
Whoops, responded to wrong comment, sorry

It seems a few people here think AliExpress is the same store as it was in 2010, or want to compare crappy cheap products from fly by night sellers to established stores selling a Chinese product from a Chinese company.... DJI.

This is one of your only options because DJI isn't selling in the US anymore, yes, you can use eBay as well, but prices are higher. Credit card via PayPal for easy access to dispute/refund exists so it makes AliExpress much less risky.

I've never had any issues with AliExpress buying certain more expensive products that are Chinese made and owned to begin, so I used Ali for a bigger discount than places like Amazon.

Not sure about the unboxing, people are saying they got it and it was brand new (maybe they're re-sealing it?)

I would never buy again from Aliexpress, they always side with their sellers when something is off - learn from my bad experience!

I have bought from that seller and decided to cancel because the lito x1 cannot be registered in the US and they refunded me immediately. Id trust ebay over alliexpress anyday.
I received a Neo 2 from this seller and I was able to register it in the US. You cannot find the Neo 2 on the DJI US website, only the other sites like the Canadian one. I was thinking of getting the Lito X1 too.

I want a drone just for casual use. Is this a good deal? Is the controller with the screen a better option? I really don't want to spend 1k on a drone. Lol
I just got the Neo 2 as a beginner drove. Easy, can use gesture hand controls, your phone, or the controller. I have had it try follow me in a really crazy fast mountain bike downhills with trees just wider than my handlebars and it does it (Also hit some trees a couple of times) but drone is fine with the guards.

Quote from FantasticStove4101 :
I looked into these Aliexpress Mini 5 pro deals every time the price dropped into this range, and every time decided it is too risky, because of their disclaimer. All of the Mini 5 listings have disclaimers that the box will be opened and drone registered! I frequently order from Aliexpress, but have never seen this.
This is from the current listing:
"It is absolutely brand new and unused, because we will unbox, activate and re-seal it."
If the seller registers/activates it, the access to that account and the drone will be compromised. I tried chatting with their customer service to discuss this but they were useless.
Sooo.. just return it if there's an issue 😒

Be careful with credit + PayPal on Aliexpress. So far I've had 2 instances the charge showed up as cash advance on my Chase credit cards with cash advance fees. It isn't consistent and I'm not sure how to stop it from happening either.

I would never ever buy ANYTHING on Aliexpress.... I tried to buy a few electronic and kitchen appliance items from various "highly" rated sellers... it took weeks and weeks and weeks and nothing happened. Then, when I tried to cancel the order, sellers vanished.... the CS is in china and their responses are all ai responses and nothing was done on top of it... had to get PayPal involved with a chargeback to get the money back. If you're looking for adventures, and being out of money for 2 months, HAVE FUN!!!!! Stay away from aliexpress!!!!!!

Casual use and a budget Id go with the Lito 1. Cheaper, good enough cameras in good light, obstacle avoidance, etc. This kit has no extra batteries and the crappy controller. You could do better with the Lito off eBay. I just looked. 800 bucks on eBay gets you 3 batteries and the RC2 and the X1.
$800? Alright, how much would be your estimate for that same combo if, for some reason, DJI started selling it in the US and I can order it through Amazon?

We get the Skyrover X1. 619 on Amazon for the same type of fly more package. It's been 599. Not quite the same level of obstacle avoidance but still really good.

I concur. Same thing happened to me and have to pay huge cash withdrawal fee. I spent endless time with PayPal, Citi and they were blaming each other and no resolution. So frustrating.

I had two issues they wouldn't resolve:

1) I ordered a huge expensive thing and a small cheap thing from seller. Seller shipped tiny box with cheap thing never shipped the big thing (as wide as a car) or could provide tracking #. Aliexpress said they don't guarantee the size of products when I pointed out they couldn't have shipped it because the tracking # was for a box the size of my fist.

2) Received a package with my name and address, but inside a packing slip for some guy in South Africa. Never could get a refund.
