I preferred to buy one locally so that it didn’t get thrown around by a courier company, so I purchased it from Argos. The prices were all very similar when I bought mine so there was nothing to be gained by shopping around, I don’t know if that has changed now. ---

As Rob said, DJI very much employ price rigging so you’ll get the same price wherever you shop. I’d recommend Leicester Drones for their outstanding customer service and delivery speeds: > **[Leicester Drones](https://www.leicesterdrones.com)** > > Leicester Drones delivers drones and all relevant accessories UK wide, we specialise in providing an excellent customer service experience. ---

don’t be tempted to buy a second hand “box opened” one… as it won’t be registered to you and it won’t have care refresh on it … there is a bit of a work around either care refresh… you can or could apply it later, provided you sent a load of images in for verification if you missed the deadline so as to prove it’s not been crashed or damaged… so technically you can get care refresh a bit later … how much I am not sure… and probably on a box opened drone too… probably!!! > **[DJI](https://service.dji.com/djicare/customerupload)** > > DJI 大疆自助服务中心 为您提供自主的一体化的维修服务：自主送修，预约快修快换，维修退换货进度查询，配件价格查询等等；您可以随时登录个人中心在“我的案例“中追溯您的各项服务进度；还可以查询距离你最近的线下维修中心。 not tried it ---

If you think you’re going to become a regular, the DJI store does loyalty points which I’ve bought a couple of batteries and filters with. Products are despatched from a UK warehouse and in my experience arrive the next day or the day after. It will depend how good you local DHL depot/driver are. ---

Now I can only “say as I see” here, bought mine from Drones Direct on a Black Friday deal that was only around for about 24 hrs, saved about £90 and had no issues. Then took the care refresh direct from DJI. I do prefer to support independent retailers so have bookmarked Leicester Drones. ---

Not by a courier, Argos, owned by Sainsburys, have their own distribution centres across the UK. Would have come on own transport to the stores. ---

Bought mine from Heliguy due to knowing the company have been round for a long time in the RC world.(mainly helis and drones but now just drones) Good service back up. Based in the North East. Always had good response with any questions/advice by email. ---

Did my training with Heliguy and have bought drones, controllers and batteries from them. Always a quick and reliable service. Have also returned damaged batteries which were replaced with no fuss. I do have the advantage of living twenty minutes away so always pick up and drop off in person. They also do their own version of warranty and are a DJI repair centre. Highly recommended. ---

I don’t make a habit of buying DJI stuff, however I bought the FPV Drone and Mini2 from Argos. The reasons for this are the Argos store is in our local Sainsbury’s, and my Wife works for Sainsbury’s so I get staff discount. Very recently I bought an Avata Fly More Combo from Amazon. The reason for this was the price compared to everywhere else as it was around £400 cheaper than buying from DJI direct, and even with my Argos discount it was still significantly cheaper. You have to keep a close eye on Amazon prices. The day after I purchased the Avata kit the price was back up to the same as the DJI store. ---

I buy from a company called the heli guy based in North Shields, Tyne & Wear. They do there own version of DJI care refresh that is cheaper and better than DJI and there customer service is great. Also I know a few other people that use them too. Plus the mini 4 pro is reduced to £960 at the moment. ---

> [@Hotrodspike](#): > > Still a truck or van, then chucked about in the back of the shop/warehouse. I walk into Argos, pick up the box, and if it looks beaten up I can ask for a different one or a refund whilst I am there. No arguments about how it got damaged, no hassle of returning it and waiting for a refund. If it doesn’t work when I get it home then I can take it straight back for a replacement or refund. I prefer not to have expensive fragile things delivered by courier. YMMV. [Next page](https://greyarro.ws/t/which-outlet-do-you-recommend/74778.md?page=2)
