2 flights today, took off on the 2nd flight and I noticed a front led cover, not got a clue how or why but what I do know is, DJI shop is a rip off, 1 blooming cover for £9, ok, I could live with that if it was free shipping but oh no, that ain't the way they roll, they only want £13.95, 1 tiny little plastic cover and it said 2-3 days shipping so it ain't coming from China..... But get this, ebay, 4 led covers £5.25 with free shipping from china

DJI should offer free shipping on all of their products. Even if it was at a loss to the company. They are making lots of money on their products and that is a part of doing business.

Yeah - their shipping costs are ridiculous.
If everything would be coming straight from China I'd somehow understand .
But all accessories I bought so far were having a London address as sender.

Hello. Sorry for this trouble. Free shipping will only apply if the orders reach over GBP £119. By the way, may I know when and where did you buy the aircraft?

Yep i found this , i paid £5.68 for the ones on ebay ( x4  inc reflectors ) and guess what..... they arrived in under a week   ;-)  Btw i also bought top/middle shell  and legs from China also on ebay for around £80  . i did wonder if they would be genuine ? but on arrival and close inspection  they are   happy days ,
What annoyed me was Dji won't sell certain p4p parts direct to the UK through parts stockists ? what's that all about ?

Especially when you consider that China only pays about 1/20th what Americans pay for shipping. They ship to America for $1 and we pay $20 to send the item back if defective (for example).

Yeah, ok free was asking a bit too much but, nearly 14 quid for sommat that weighs less that 0.000001kg is taking the pee out of its customers, i and when its gonna take 2-3 days, oh, wait, thats its dispatched within  2-3 days is it? nope and i got it wrong, Estimated delivery time: 2-5 working days after payment confirmation. WHAT........!!  Bought in the UK from Drones Direct and 2 moths out of warranty, not that it would have been covered anyway...
