Hey guys, saw this promo on Gearbest and found an extra 18% off coupon over at RCGroups. Some great deals to be had if you purchase one of the ones already reduced and use the coupon, I was able to snag a Cheerson CX-91 for only $155US($208AU), it usually goes for close to $200US($250AU).
i have purchased a few items from them during the ban. I have received all my items and their customer services are pretty okay.
Purchased one in the last sale about two weeks ago. Arrived without any issues within a week.
Man, I've bought about ten different orders. All have arrived within a month, and approx two weeks with express shipping.
They are fine.
Just fearmongering! I've purchased many times and never had a problem.
Cannot work out how loss in the post could ever be an isue anyway, since it's logical to use a SAFE PAYMENT METHOD for all overseas transactions.
Simply learn how to buy safely, and you will enjoy Ozbargain much more.
I have purchased from them 20+ times. Always received my goods. From 70c sd card adapters to $400+ phones, having used normal shipping, line shipping and DHL express. One time I needed customer support they were good. They allow PayPal payments so you get double protection if anything was to go wrong.
I have 28 transactions at gearbest, just NEVER EVER use the unregistered mail as a delivery method it will take forever to arrive. I use the line shipping for things I don't need right away and the DHL Express Shipping when I want the item in the same week. Bought Xiaomi phones and tablets from them never had a problem. Their customer service response time is a bit slow though. Seems to me everyone that complains used their Regular shipping.
krimore - excellent advice. DHL express if you want it ASAP (1 week) and line shipping on everything else (2 weeks). Free shipping comes with the joys of free Asia post (3-4 weeks).
Krimore how did you get the cheerson for that price wouldnt take voucher when I tried
Looked at a Syma one. If you add the coupon it takes away the sale price.
Yeah I was looking at a hubsan, I added the code and the price INCREASED lol!

Didn't do anything special, just added the item to cart plugged the coupon code in.
So.. Who can recommend a rc car??
Search the WLtoys A949 A959 A969 A979. 1:18 scale and not brushless, but as fast as many brushless ones.
Older model, Cheap (note, have not checked if code will work on items already discounted).
As fast as hell (check Youtube reviews). Easy to get spares for, since there are millions out there. That is very important for RC Cras as they get accident damaged (especially fast ones).
You need to google and find the parts list.
Thanks mate, this looks like it might last me a while, I just couldn't be bothered to fix my earlier one.
Before buying you should check banggood for pricing. Almost every sale item in my cart was only a few cents difference.
How very tempting a quadcopter sale may be I warn anyone purchasing of the likelihood you will never receive your items. They were banned once https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/149587?page=3#comment-3986… and have only last month been unbanned. However myself and a lot of other ozbargainers you will read are still never receiving their items (along with horrid customer support)
