Trade-In

The D1 Trade-in program is a program designed for you to trade in your old/used drone for credit that will offset the purchase price of the drone you want.

We've streamlined the trade in process to make it easier for you to get your new drone faster. The online form has a few simple questions about you along with the condition of the drone and the drone you wish to trade-up into. Our team will contact you within 3-5 business day to let you know if your drone is eligible for trade-in and what the estimated credit will be and the price to trade-up into your desired drone.

If you accept the trade-up estimate you will need to prepare your drone to be traded-in. Simply, all you need to do is back-up your files on the internal storage, remove the SD and format the internal storage. You will find this setting in the photo/video settings.

If there are any additional issues with the drone, the trade-in value may be adjusted. Once the drones are swapped and the excess paid, we will ship your new drone out to you ASAP!

It is important to note that if the condition of the drone doesn't match your description, an adjusted trade-in value will be provided. You will have the option to accept or reject the revised quote. If you reject it, your device will be returned to you.

The D1 trade in program is designed to be hassle free and allows you to trade-up your drone without the worry and stress of dealing with the marketplace; low-ballers and unreliable buyers.
