you have to wait for the so called "sale" with banggood.

Hmmmmm. So banggood it is.
Okie.

But can't ship lipo? Gg. I need it. All my lipos are dead after 4 years of storage lol

For lipo i usually ordered locally at malaysian online website like lazada, shoppe or the good old rc shop mymegastation. But if overseas the Gearbest.com seem to be able huge capacity lipo with the item itself. I remember bought some R/C cars from Gearbest.com and it always came with bundle of lipos at 100% success rate...but gearbest.com lack of R/C varieties. Sometimes its a bit random situation. Recently got me an FPV quad from Banggood.com with lipos and other R/C cars with lipos even li-on too. But upon checking the delivery address it seems they pickup their stock from nearest vendor/warehouse in Malaysia who stocked similar products and sent them out to customer locally.

yup, this is the recent trend with banggood. they stock some of their stuff locally since recent years. so if you are lucky, your stuff might be able to be delivered with batt. but still, just batt alone, is still a no-no.

the thing with buying locally is that the stuff are marked up. since the local vendor got it from overseas to begin with.

Noob question to sifu. I ordered stuff from banggood n selected SEA Direct Mail. Do they call you when the items reached the address? What is this SEA Direct Mail ?

SEA direct mail is like EMS but better and fast services then Poslaju, i've been ordering through that. Usually takes about within 9 or if unlucky max 14 days. You'll need to wait for 2~3 days for your tracking number to appear at Banggood.com. SEA Direct tracking number starts with A**************. Usually you can track your parcel via NINJA VAN services (https://www.ninjavan.co/en-my) once its in Malaysia territory and it will inform you via SMS if the item already arrived at your town. But not all district/town have NINJA VAN, else it will revert back to Postlaju service. However if they sent through Skynet service..then say your prayers,lol.

O.O..... I've bad experience with skynet.....
Please noooooo. Lol

My order is in backorder state. Estimated shipping time is 19th....

Whoa. That's long..... Is this normal ?

if no stock, yes. some times it can even extend longer. if urgent(like spare parts), best to find else where.

Hmm/.. Anybody buy from Hobbygeng? I think this is local?
It seems their price are comparable to Banggood! It looks so.

No idea about that shop, first time i heard about them.

DJI SPARK killer
Alright guys! my secret weapon has arrived after waiting for a week! Its a DJI SPARK rival! The C-FLY DREAM 2019 batch! This tiny drone looks similar but at half price yet have all the features you want in quality pocket drones. This thing looks solid and quality build in and out. Can't wait to fly it.

mind to share where you purchased from ? banggood ?

Looks nice!!!

I got it from banggood: https://www.banggood.com/C-Fly-DREAM-GPS-WI...6363706201312DW

Just make sure you use 9% 0ff coupon code: RC9OFF

Took about 12 days to arrived with battery.

Btw i did some 'quick' (day 1) test flight, then i realized it has hidden flight features which not known to the public because to my surprised it uses same flight controller feature used on long my autonomous UAV Z-84 the ARDUPILOT PX4 (Pixhawk) flight controller! wow! But the camera is ok ok only can be easily replaced with improved RUNCAM HD.
The GPS lock was solid, RTH landing was spot on and very stable flight. Camera gimbal was very stable and linear. Duration flight was between 13~14min but need more testing.

Any day now. My quad parts from Banggood are gonna get shipped. ! Anxiously waiting!

Question. How long after shipped it'll reach MY? What carrier they would use? Air parcel register n SEA direct mail any difference?

Sorry for the long winded questions.

Usually in 11 days or less than that by 'SEA direct' much faster than Air parcel. Air parcel is dead slow like waiting mail in 1980s if you're lucky maybe after 2 months..in crumpled state because they treat it like letters. If you're selecting SEA direct it will choose fastest parcel delivery services available locally. Here attached is my latest delivery parcel arrived via Ninja Van.

Gg Liao. The order that got shipped was using air parcel.... No option to change it. Means it's going to be bad....

May the force be with you young Jedi.

Suddenly buying local doesn't seem to be a bad idea ....lol
