Ive used dhgate several times in the past without issue.
It was sent in an email for cheap samples etc
http://www.dhgate.com/promotion/all/free-sample-giveaway.htm…
100% positive though
**Warm tips: **
The helicopter box and the words of canopy is subject to the factory`s design.
huh ????
Chingrish I guess!
hope u get it then rather than just a picture of one… :P
for those who don't know dhgate, they use an escrow service, so the seller doesn't get your money until you confirm delivery and it's what you ordered, i've used dhgate and aliexpress, they're reliable generally, but you have to check the listings carefully as sometimes the title is different to the actual item for sale, and some times you pay for something and 3 days later the money comes back because the seller couldn't ship for some reason!
but a 3ch heli with gyro for 5 bucks is damn cheap, so i bought one, just the postage alone for buying a heli part would cost more!
site now says…
"The item is pending DHgate verification."
ok, i'll bite.. not being able to get one of those HP servers this week has freed up some spare cash.
i missed the HP one too.
Status Payment received, but no word from Dessy :(
Are these legitamate Syma's or clones..?
Edit: I got one anyways. Clone or no clone, for $5 it can't go wrong :) I ordered one from Lightake with EMS (paid extra) and it never came.. hopefully this does.
I actually emailed the lighttake guys and they said it takes up to two months to get it :P one month and counting haha…
2 months is pathetic. For regular chinapost, 2 weeks is understandable but through EMS (their express service), it should't exceed 7 days.
All I got from the Lightake guys was "we're looking into the shipping company and get back to you" and I don't hear anything from them. Tracking number also doesn't work. In the middle of a Paypal dispute. So much for $30 spent. At least this one is $5 :D I would't care as much if it doesn't come haha
Reads like the same one lightake was selling a couple of weeks ago for $20 (http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/43227)…which I still haven't received yet
me neither
Syma came today, bit over a fortnight.
HEAPS fun.
I got my 2 lightake ones last week work a treat chasing the cats. This one seems dead goes to a pending verification page now.
Mine is awaiting shipment now. I just ordered and paid and it seems to go through fine.
lol item is pending dhgate verification. the page is down and you cant add to cart anymore. i think something dodgy is happening :O
$5 gone? :( I think I'm not meant to get one of these, from Lightake or from DHgate. First doesn't arrive and now this goes poop! lol
lol i dont think they wouldve charged u yet, since seller only gets the money after you receive item and are satisfied.
What do you mean you are satisfied?
They cannot get the money until you tell paypal after you received the product?
lol ur right. just placed my order like 3 minutes ago. hope everything turns out fine haha
lol i was so disappointed i couldnt order. i thought my computer stuffed up since everytime i clicked add to cart, it would show up as empty cart or not load the page at all.
lucky i didnt get to place an order :)
Gives "The item is pending DHgate verification." Maybe OZbargain purchasers have depleted the stock on these.
Found a chat option to chat to the seller and this is what he said. I quote: "friend i just amend the message of the products, so it must pend DHgate verification.you don't worry,we will send the products to you as you placed an order."
Surely must be a fake/clone. Looks like site is down.
site down
site down!!!!
I have ordered lots of DHGate. The site is always going down. Can get cheap stuff, but everything branded is counterfeit. This will be 100% fake. For $5 its worth it, but just in case people are looking around and see other stuff, its all fake.
I have one of these helicopters. Don't expect them to last too long and I guess for the price it is just for a bit of fun and not meant to last anyway. The lights on the helicopter was more fun to watch than the actual flight of the helicopter.
been playing with the $20.00 s107 metal series that I received last week, getting a few of these so my kids don't have to fight with me to play with it anymore…
Couldnt connect to dhgate website? Was that just me?
nope, i been trying all day too. No luck
me too
still down
just tried now, the whole dhgate site is down, it's not just this seller item
Site now back up but helicopter no longer for sale
"This item has been removed by DHgate.
It is no longer for sale. Please choose another item. "
I just want to say that, I requested a refund from the seller (it didn't get sent yet) and he was more than happy to do so, now I'm waiting for DHgate to process it. For those who had bought it, I assume it will get sent.
Mine just got shipped

yes,the site looks very nice.
Received mine today. All good!
wow, that was quick. hows the helicopter?
My tracking still says "departure from outward office of exchange" since the 18th.
Flys really well actually. Very durable and easy to fly.
Ive crashed it into the roof and walls and has been fine.
Great fun and great buy for $5
got mine today!
received mine yesterday. for $5 it was the best buy. Should have ordered more! dunno whether fake or not,, but it flies smoothly and very stable. nearly bought the one at mr toys for $40!
Picking mine up from the Post Office tomorrow morning! Going to be a great weekend learning to fly it.
I must say if it's a clone then it's a darn good one. Can't find any flaws with it. Even the build quality is very solid.
received one of mine today even the way its packed was great so no damage even to the box - just the best at $5 — thanks for the post matt777
Got home today, ripped open the packaging and took it for a test flight, flies wonderfully well and is really stable both in flight and when hovering. Simply an excellent beginners RC Helicopter. Made me feel like I should have bought several more for birthday pressies for the younger cousins b'days and such.
