I sent my drone DJI Phantom 4 pro V2.0 for repairing the purple banding issue of the camera on January 2 via UPS, and ipackage was supposed to arrive in DJI repair facility in California at the end of January 8th, but it never did.  On January 9, I call UPS to track the shipment, UPS representative told me the package was lost, and he asked me to contact DJI to further investigate.  Then, I called DJI customer service at 1-818-235-0789-option 2, I got a several responses, one response instructed me to file police report first, and talked to UPS.  Another response said DJI will communicate UPS to investigate the accident, no need to talk to UPS and wait 24-48 hours to get email from DJI.  So far, I don't receive any email from DJI.  Does any one have similar experience with package lost and how to resolve the issue finally?

I would file a claim with UPS for the full price you paid.  Did you insure it?

Unfortunately I didn't.  When I created a repair case with DJI, as you probably know, you will automatically receive an email from UPS to generate a shipping label once the case is created.  But the shipment is cheap ground shipment without any insurance, I never expect the shipment can be lost.  What can Brown do for me?  Lost my package.

Last month I had a large package from west coast to east coast which was several days late with no scan updates.  I was worried but it did finally show up.  Apparently it was in the back of a truck being driven across the continent.  Good luck

I notice the customer staff seem changed recently, and I understand the quality can be different.  So far, I still don't receive any email notification about the investigation about the lost UPS package , do you have any information?

Hi Susan,

The UPS returned the drone back to me.  What should I do now?

Thanks for getting back to us. I've checked the case again, the new tracking number has been marked in the case log, we'll keep an eye on this. Hope everything goes smoothly this time.
