30-Day Returns — Fly It First, Decide After

Photos and specs only tell you so much. Take a month: fly it, shoot with it, put it through your workflow. Not right? Free return, full refund, no restocking fee.

The Policy in Three Sentences

Every drone, battery and accessory sold by AST-Drones can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a full refund or exchange, for any reason, with a prepaid label we provide. No restocking fees, no "opened box" deductions, no store-credit-only tricks. If the unit arrives not matching its listing description or grade, return shipping is on us regardless of reason.

How a Return Works

Request

Email or message us with your order number. You'll have a prepaid, lithium-compliant return label within one business day.

Ship

Pack the drone with everything it shipped with — batteries, props, manuals, the inspection report.

Refund

Refund issued to your original payment method within 3 business days of the unit passing a quick verification (matching serial, no new damage).

The Two Fair-Use Conditions

Return or Warranty Claim?

Inside 30 days, a return is almost always the faster resolution. After 30 days, defects move to the warranty process — repair, replacement or refund depending on the fault. Either way, you're never carrying the risk that a marketplace seller would leave with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I fly the drone during the 30 days?

Yes — that's the point. Normal test flying is expected. New crash damage voids the return (it's then a repair quote), but reasonable flight time to evaluate the drone is exactly what the window is for.

Who pays return shipping?

We do, via prepaid label, for any return where the unit doesn't match its description or grade. For change-of-mind returns in most regions we also cover shipping — check the label email for your region's terms.

How fast is the refund?

Within 3 business days of the returned unit clearing serial and condition verification at our depot.
