walmart used to be better about this but now I notice they, and other major retailers are trying to adopt the amazon platform concept.

Sometimes it's easier to just make a list and physically go to a store so I don't need to question whether or not what I'm buying is legit and deal with that stuff.

I bought this exact drone for my nephew and was sorely disappointed by it. I agree with the earlier comments saying that we need to go back to buying from manufacturers in legitimate countries and relying on strong brand names like Sony and the like.

Both Amazon and Walmart are not reliable vendors. Costco does still vet all it's products, I will probably just use them from now on.

Anytime I've ordered from Walmart for pick-up, I always seem to receive the item with the worst experation date and most banged-up box.
