I bought a set of 9450's from DJi direct and they showed up fairly promptly and they work great.

I was a little sore about the shipping cost so I then went on to buy some back up old school props from an Amazon seller named CoolLife. The price was a little less so I was happy. I ordered these props on November 9th. My estimated shipping date is Dec. 23rd. When I ordered the reviews were great.. now everyone is saying they are horrible props. I have no alliegance to DJi but from now on I will be buying replacement parts only from them.

Lots of less than honest places to purchase out there.  Really have to pay attention to the particular retailer on Amazon.  Been stung a couple times on Amazon purchases, and Amazon was zero help.

Well. reviews are a double-edged sword, because, yes, there's lots of honest and useful ones out there, but there's lots of fabricated ones too, i.e. from competitors etc.

That said, eventually the bad apples get booted by Amazon, Ebay, PayPal and the like. So if your experience with these props is no good, send feedback.

I sent feedback to the company and my shipping time has been substantially reduced. Will review when arrives.

I purchased the older Phantom FC40 props by mistake because the listing said 9" props. They actually work surprisingly well (maybe the battery life took a bit of a hit) Are these safe to continue using?

They are the 9443 props?  Standard props on Visions.

They did show up last week. They are knock-off 9450's but other than the markings I can't tell any difference. I've had half a dozen excellent flights with 9450's on my P2V+ (old version).
