Stumbled upon this while looking at Drone prices.
Banggood are having a 48hr sale on 'Branded' products.
Sale doesn't start for a while, but thought the price on the DJI was worth posting about (DJI online store still has them over 2k)
AUD conversion based on 1AUD/0.74USD who knows where it will be next month.

also 4.8% cashback brings it to $951.99USD
- Edit: site traffic must have increased, sale no longer 48hrs, and starts earlier (was 8-9th September)

Copied this from Banggoods page:

Avoid obstacles automatically.
Track moving subjects automatically using ActiveTrack.
TapFly lets you fly with a tap of the finger.
Smart Return Home allows the Phantom to avoid obstacles as it returns home.

    When you click on the P4 link, it still shows AUD$1800. I suspect the sale won't start until September 8th.

  • lplau on 21/08/2016 - 11:42

    Need to factor in customs and import fees since its over $1000. Its around $250-300 for those fees.

    You can try to get them to devalue it but its fraud and will cause issues if you need to claim insurance if it gets lost or damaged.

    Im not sure the usual price of these so not sure if its sti worth it when you factor in customs and possible warranty issues.

      perhaps we can hope that the USD tanks to a 1:1 lol. Come on Donald Trump!

      How did you arrive at " $250-300"?

      • kwchaz on 21/08/2016 - 12:01

        You not only have the GST (about $150), you also have to pay the processing charge ($50), and you may have to pay duty rates (unsure if exempt as it is an electronic item).

    • thelastnoob on 21/08/2016 - 12:29

      It's under $1000

        • thelastnoob on 21/08/2016 - 12:42
          -7

          I was certain the rule was under $1000 usd and this is for custom fee free

          (CVAL = product + transport & insurance services)

          The initial "will I need to pay GST?" A$1000 threshold and 'CVAL' do not include shipping.

          As explained in your border.gov.au link:

          The Customs Value (CVAL) is the value of the goods on which duty will be charged. Generally the value used is the free on board (FOB) value of the goods, which is the value of the goods excluding overseas transport and insurance.

          If GST is applicable, it is calculated on the Value of the Taxable Import (VoTI), which includes shipping and insurance.

      • siggy213 on 21/08/2016 - 13:17

        Is there anyway to avoid these fees? Maybe having banggood mark it as gift?

        • YellowKnight on 21/08/2016 - 13:18

          So you're saying fraud?

        • lplau on 21/08/2016 - 13:32
          +4

          Marking as Gift no longer makes it exempt. This loop hole was fixed ages ago.

        • [Deactivated] on 21/08/2016 - 13:37

          Many of these shops don't say the real value on the package.

        • siggy213 on 21/08/2016 - 13:41

          @YellowKnight: What if I decide to purchase one for a family member as a gift? Should it be marked as a gift or not?

          +2

          Shame. We shouldn't have to pay these extra fees as these are personal goods and not going to be resold. I assume these fees were enforced to prevent people importing and reselling items.

        • digitalane on 21/08/2016 - 14:49

          @xdreamyst:

          Its only gonna get worse - Hockey agreed to the limit being dropped from $1000 to something like $100 to keep the Aussie retailers happy!

        • lplau on 22/08/2016 - 11:29

          @siggy213: Gift means nothing now. You can mark it as gift if you really want… as in Australia even if you mark it as gift and don't put a value on it, they will do market assessment unless you can provide proof of purchase.

          https://www.border.gov.au/Busi/Impo/Impo

          This is copied from there:
          Gifts sent to you
          There is no longer a concession for goods sent as a gift. Goods that are gifted, donated, loaned or supplied free of charge are still subject to assessment for duty and other taxes and charges if they have a value of more than AUD1000 or if the goods are tobacco and/or alcohol products.
          If you are unable to provide evidence of the value of the goods, the legislation (the Customs Act 1901) provides other ways of determining value.

        • lplau on 22/08/2016 - 11:31

          @clse945111: I noticed that many of these shops don't say the real value on the package if it is cheap <$100-200.

          But when its over that, quite a few shops do put the actual value for insurance purposes. Since you cant say "Customs's declaration is $200" then when you lost the package you say "Oh i wrote it wrong… it should be $2000" lol

    • ChillBro on 22/08/2016 - 09:15

      Yeah a lot of people post these things without putting all the info out there. Anything above 1k and will have import tax. Unless you were planning on flying the drone here that is.

  • noshopping on 21/08/2016 - 11:43

    • turkz1 on 21/08/2016 - 12:35

      Can you confirm? I remember doing a search on the dick smith ebay store and there were no phantoms.

      • chumbucket on 21/08/2016 - 12:37

        I think they had a 20% off code for their website directly.

  • YellowKnight on 21/08/2016 - 12:38

    That's a crazy price. If I didn't have spare P3 batteries lying around I would have jumped on it straight away.

    But I wonder how much Banggood have in stock, if just a couple then the chances of actually getting one are slim.

    Also, no DJI warranty as I believe Banggood are not an authorised seller? Contradict me if I'm wrong.

    • granthamana on 21/08/2016 - 14:45

      I havent seen it listed at that price before. If its $399 USD plus the cash rewards cashback that brings it to sub $500AUD. Hard to say no.

    • pookie on 21/08/2016 - 18:59

      Is this Xiao a good drone for a beginner ? I see it's in Chinese though :(

      • granthamana on 21/08/2016 - 22:49

        Is it in chinese? The youtube reviews i saw were in english. It looks like its a lot of drone for 500 bucks.

        • jazzyman9182 on 21/08/2016 - 22:53

          The app has been translated to English but isn't officially supported and take a little bit to be updated. It would be a great beginner drive but it seems to have a few problems at the moment

  • strat on 21/08/2016 - 16:54

    Consider buying locally during a sale here returning back to BG or Hong Kong for warranty within the 12months won't be cheap. Pretty sure DJI won't service it in Aus if imported.

  • kzrocky on 21/08/2016 - 18:48

    Thats a good price, I bought mine from aus-cameras a few weeks ago, I paid $A2399, but included 3 batteries and a 64GB card.

    The Phantom 4 is a fantastic drone.

    • Truarn75 on 21/08/2016 - 19:01

      That's what I did last week but from dji website. Shipped to my door in 2 days from Hong Kong. Such a good deal considering batteries are $289 each. I also got a multi charger in my deal too.

  • poporange630 on 22/08/2016 - 10:12

    Great price but worried about warranty. Drones are prone to failures and malfunctions.
    I picked up my Phantom 3 standard local stock for $769 but not very satisfied with its range.
    Will seek for a better deal and take the chance.

    • YellowKnight on 22/08/2016 - 10:23

      What distances are you getting? You can't fly it without LOS anyways.

      • poporange630 on 22/08/2016 - 11:40

        100m before losing video downlink..
        Remote signal remains strong…
        It's likely due to local interference, will fly in some more remote area to test.

        • Timfoo on 22/08/2016 - 14:33

          I bought a phantom 4 and a few range boost antennas I get over 4 kilometres lol I fly it over my friends houses other side of town via FPV

          @sr8rippinpro:
          Stupid question but is there any chance (how risky?) that you can crash it / loses signal and then you lose drone completely?

        • Timfoo on 26/08/2016 - 21:15

          @86boy:
          There is chance and risk, I trust the phantom 4s failsafe features to return home and I only leave on a full battery :)

      Phantom standard just has wifi so terrible range, need the pro or advanced try unlocking all 32 channels in your DJI Go app (use goodie to help) and buying a set of these https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/252456011564

  • Elias1 on 23/08/2016 - 08:51

    IT is currently showing the buy price at AUD$26.52 haha

    Anyways, look at the 3DR Solo drone instead, it is way better the the DJI. Also 4K is a waste to have for another year at least.

    And yes, the custom import fees apply.

  • FiremanFred on 23/08/2016 - 12:50

    Yeah just saw that AUD26.50 and shipping AUD20.87! That's a Phantom 4 for less than $50! Would you pay tax and duty on $50?

    not a normal sale. Snap up sale start in 1 day 15 hOnly one available.

  • Fergobf on 24/08/2016 - 20:29

    Anyone bought one? says $1332.45 AU with 20 odd bucks postage.

    Seems like a pretty good deal.
    What warranty issues could there be with these?
    Pretty close to taking the dive.

        • digitalane on 26/08/2016 - 11:06

          I bought from banggood before no issue's. They usually just take a long time to ship items. I'm confident I'll get the DJI 4 however I'm not confident I'll get it soon.

          Received this email a few hours ago (typical chinese site reply lol ) as I just want to see it shipped. Was hoping to get it before Fathers day.

          Dear Troy ,

          Thanks for your email.

          It's only few housr since our last contact.

          Order xxxxxxx is on the processing.

          We will ship it in 48 hours.

          No need to worry.

  • digitalane on 26/08/2016 - 15:00

    Seems they're now saying Sept 6th and price has changed again (come down slightly - but not as low as the $999)

          Still in shipping notification status and except it will be that until early next week. Long time ago when I order some stuff from bang good it takes a good 2-4 weeks to arrive. I get the feeling they don't have stock do it will be delayed ( even tho I ordered it when they had stock).

    Can i confirm the total price on this will be AU $1334 + the import tax ~ $250?

    Thanks

    • Ranajin on 30/08/2016 - 23:50

      Not yet… If they don't sell them all before the 8th it will drop down to: $999.99 US which will be around the $1334 AU mark.

    • digitalane on 01/09/2016 - 16:53

      Yes I reckon thats about right

      DWI will sell it for $1620 with current 5% off and I think they drop ship so no import taxes
