I inadvertently purchased 2 of these so called, "drones," the video ad on YouTube shows a high end quality machine. The drone & controller advertised in the video are well built, metal reinforced, & large in comparison to the junk ultimately delivered. The video shows a sturdy drone, metallic reinforced, with a digital display pilot's remote controller. What I ended up getting was a dollar store trinket. The plastic junk won't even power up! The remote control is extremely cheap, with plastic antennas, & no digital interface, as shown in the advertisement video on YouTube. Complete garbage!! Well, back to the beginning, I immediately made a couple attempts to contact seller as soon as I realized my nephew had ordered these, "drones." Within the hour I'd requested to cancel the order. I received no return response from the scammers. I wanted to cancel before anything was shipped. Right away I knew the situation was a scam as the emailed order confirmation came with a link to a non existent free, "tutorial on losing weight." I knew right away it was a scam. I called PayPal immediatly after trying unsuccessfully to cancel with the seller. Side point, I sent at least 20 emails to 5 different email addresses connected to these scammers, I never received any response from them. I filed a dispute right away. I explained that I was certain this was a scam. I explained that I'd not authorized the transaction, as my nephew placed the order before getting my final approval. So the agent filed an unauthorized transaction. Within a day PayPal decided the transaction had been authorized. I tried explaining again how I'd not authorized it, eventually though, it was made clear by the agent that the decision was final, & the agent suggested filing the dispute as, an "item not received," dispute. She said they'd have 10 days to respond. She said if they failed to respond in that time frame, I'd receive the refund as requested. I figured that I'd have a chance to finally have contact with the seller when & if they'd respond. They never did respond, but about 8 days into the dispute, they assigned a tracking number from China Post to the order. An agent from PayPal explained to me that that's equivalent to a response, & now I'd have to wait for the item to arrive. I was also informed that if, & when the package arrives that my dispute would then be denied, as the confirmation of delivery by the post office was proof that item was received. At this point I just want to be done with it. So, I figured wait to see if I get what was advertised. When the package arrived, I was really hoping to put this behind me. However, based on how things had transpired, I wasn't surprised to see the crap they'd shipped. After opening & inspecting the junk they'd sent out, I referenced the YouTube video I had initially been watching when the order, "placed in error," & after it played out the ad popped up. I watched it & wasn't surprised that the 2 remote controlled toy trinkets I'd been sent, & the drone in the video advertisement aren't, "remotely," the same. Bam! I was scammed! These theives are using PayPal as a shrowd to obscure their scam while circumventing the spirit of PayPal's policies by intentionally dragging out the process, & wearing down most other consumers. They aren't getting away with this! These are dollar store disposables at best! Absolutely different than the drone in the Zest Ads video on YouTube. The video supposedly shows footage of the Drone X Pro flying steady and taking excellent pictures with it's rotating camera lens. These things won't even power up! The remote control unit has plastic antennas!! These are utter garbage!! Useless pieces of crap. Cheap flimsy plastic and feel like the same grade plastic as wall Mart toys come packaged in. You know, the plastic that fills garbage cans after Christmas day. I've opened a dispute with PayPal. I was able, after losing the ad, to find it while searching for drone ads on Google. I screenshot the advertisement the best I could, I've got good coverage of what they advertise on YouTube. Hopefully, PayPal does the right thing here by terminating this seller's account. I'll keep you posted.
