@OnionSoup These look to be Chinese drones - more interested in stealing your personal data than the North Korean models, which like to show off their missile tests.
@railek I already know what’s going on in NK. Kim is out negotiating with the aliens controlling the UFOs from the recently released government videos.
Apparently the aliens saw Kim as the most stable world leader at the moment and the only one they could do business with.
@LaserEyes Unfortunately, yes - The small size and light payload generally mean extremely limited battery capacity. And the cheap price means lower quality batteries that need to charge more slowly than your phone does (cheaper BMS).
bought one for $12 last month. POS. Buyer beware, these are exactly worth what they are charging for them. In fact, I would suggest they are worth significantly less than $5 each
One touch? Yea, one touch and they fly straight up and go back to China. They re-pack, ship to MEH and the sell them AGAIN about every 5 to 6 weeks. Not Falling for that for the fifth time, never again!!!
@G1@jewelshound Would it not just be two separate channels so two can be flown together? I’m figuring they could have labeled it Channel 1 and Channel 2 though in that case.
@G1@Neechy It depends on the product. My weather station has a three pole switch. These drones may only have an A/B switch so you could fly two together. A four frequency circuit would weigh more and add complexity.
@G1 it’s the 4 axis of control you have. These can swap from throttle/yaw on left stick, pitch/roll on right stick, to throttle only on left stick, pitch/yaw on right stick. It makes it slightly easier to fly for kids.
I need a drone to snitch on my neighbors. Now I can be “that guy” on my street. Well, no longer do I need to be outside to catch you not sheltering-in-place.
Well, at least these HAVE to be better than the stupid drones (by the same company dun dun DUNNNN) I got in the random drone pack–and I was duped into paying even more for those!
I have this drone from Meh. I also have a dozen other cheap drones from meh. I recently even bought the meh-reh-thon drone they sold, 5! They sold. I got one. It’s barely left the ground it’s awful.
I just threw out all my older meh drones tonight.
This propel drone is the most responsive one that I’ve bought from meh. To be fair? The right controller arm snapped off within the first mins of use.i just push my thumb harder on the nub.
It’s shitty but not as shitty as usual.
This price is worth it for one flight. But I have been zooming this around for days as my more expensive meh drone sits ashamed in the corner.
I just bought two more. All hail the newst best lowest bar!
We’ve had a few of these. The are mildly entertaining and easier to control than the micro drones. That said, I’m sure our neighbor is getting real tired finding them in his yard. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
@colbyjackjunkie@natekimh The company is called Rooftop Brands after all haha. That really caught my eye. Can’t say they didn’t warn ya, it’s right in the name
As an avid quadcopter and RC airplane enthusiasts, I must say I cannot wait to be disappointed by these! Honestly, I’m looking at this as parts to begin with so even if they’re garbage I’m okay with it. Go ahead, surprise me.
( racy-lonesome-fire ) I am in for four of these little bad boys, I am in for four of these little bad boys, I’ve got a chicken hawk that stays around my backyard so I’m going to see if I can get him to attack one and take it away. ( i’ll make sure I film it if it goes down )
I got red so when I dump this thing in tall grass I at least stand a chance of finding it. Then the next hour will probably be spent getting grass out of the props.
Wow. First experience with Meh. It’s been many days and the drones haven’t even shipped yet! I suppose the playful FAQ promising indifferent customer service wasn’t a joke. But I thought everything here was a joke. Confusing.
@smileyjan Same. Just got mine in the mail today. 1 red, 1 black. I ordered 1 of each thinking I was getting 4. First order from Meh and apparently the last.
@Lexxus82 - I can second @smileyjan’s thoughts. I’m no shill so I won’t try and convince you to remain a customer. But in fairness, mistakes happen. Personally I care more about how a mistake is addressed and corrected than the actual mistake itself.
Aww man!! Thank you guys for checking in - and I’m sorry 'bout the missing drones. If you haven’t already, shoot us an email over at meh.com/support (but just one!!!), and pretty please make sure you’re signed in and select the order number when you submit the ticket (it’ll help me search for all the tickets related to this issue specifically so I can answer ya faster!).
I’m doing some investigating… These may still be hiding out in our warehouse somewhere off-grid, or they may have disappeared off the face of the earth. I should know more tomorrow-(ish?) and’ll be able to get back to everyone individually (via email response).
@halfling Thank you so much ! I also only received 2 of the 4 and I sent a message just now. I know things are crazy right now, and I appreciate you taking the time to let us know you’re working on it. You rock!
@Bandrik@halfling Haven’t received mine yet but I ordered two sets of two so I assume I’m getting just two not four also. Looks like I won’t get mine until maybe Monday, hope there are some left by then
@Bandrik@halfling got mine today and same problem as others who ordered 2 sets of two,I notified customer service. I look forward to getting my other two drones
@ester123 And right above your post is someone from Meh saying they’re looking into it.
Unbunch your panties, go to your safe space, and learn to wait a reasonable amount of time to get a response from someone before you throw your tantrums.
@ester123 - Hey man. “scam” implies a deliberate deception. This was an unintended error, and they’re going to fix it. There’s no evil afoot here. Chillax.
Same problem, as others. Offer said it was a two-pack. Ordered 2 two packs but only received 2 one packs. Reported to MEH today. Hope it doesn’t take as long for their customer service to respond as it did for them to ship and me receive half of what I ordered and paid for and should be getting for the price.
Nephews are home 24/7 and we are going to start some quarantine drone madness tomorrow with these!!! Watch out, neighborhood! My sister will probably kill me for ordering these. Love you meh!
ORDER GOT HALVENINGED. NOW MY KIDS ARE GOING TO DO A CORONA PIRATES VERSION OF HUNGER GAMES OVER TWO AVAILABLE DRONES. AND WORST, THE MESSED UP ORDER LOCKED MY SHIFT KEY.
My kids (both under 10) can fly these no problem. That is until I crashed 1 into a tree and haven’t been able to find it/get it out. Should have bought 5 to have a few spares - and now they’re gone (again). So… success?
Ok, I ordered 2, 2-packs and got one. Emailed meh and I’m confident they will take care of it. They have been awesome at customer service. (Yes, awesome, not just Meh like I would expect !)
Anyway, got the red pack and flew them around. The battery lasted about 15 minutes. Not bad. It’s really fun and easy to fly. It has GREAT fault protection so if you fly into any object, it shuts down till you set it right and move the sticks full range, then it is good to take off again. Works really well. I’m impressed at the quality especially for the price. Can’t wait to get the other two. Thanks Meh, but you disappointed me because these are not…well, meh…
Got mine yesterday. Ordered 2x of the 2-package deal and got 4 individually packaged drones. Pretty damn good deal for what it is. I only opened one and while it appeared brand new on the outside with the sticker, there was packaging tape holding some of the manuals in place inside. Also, the remote had some hairline scratches on the face. Was really hoping they were brand new so I can give the other ones away but they’ll work as spares too.
Flight is pretty stable once you get it calibrated with the remote. Can get it to stay pretty steady. Flight time is about 5 minutes give or take. Battery gets really hot after flight and need to wait a few minutes before charging. The start flight button didn’t work but if you hold the toggles outward, it’ll start up. Haven’t tried the camera yet but pretty impressed for what I paid so far. Might keep an eye on meh deals to give a couple away but wish there was a way to verify it was brand new…
Also, these batteries are 450mah even though the listing says 340mah.
Anyone know how to make the batteries last longer? Am pretty impressed for the price. This thing is heads and tails better than the older el cheapo drones of 10 years ago.
@kurwakurwa The only trick I know is that after charging, the batteries will begin to discharge. So if you charge them then wait a few days, they won’t be fully charged anymore. Thus, I’ve found it best to wait until you’re ready to fly, charge the batts, wait a few minutes for the batteries to cool off, then fly!
Expect 5-10 minutes of flight. It might seem short, but that’s a lot of fun in 5 minutes… and if you rotate drones, you’ll get 10-20 minutes of enjoyment between the 2 of them!
@kurwakurwa The other option to get extended flight times is wiring in a jst female connector and removing the stock battery. Then you can have whatever capacity battery you want from hobby shops but I’d stay under 1000mah. The one it came with is 450mah.
The second drone in my order won’t take off at all. The instructions don’t include any troubleshooting instructions. I follow the calibration instructions, but the propellers won’t turn on. Anyone else have this problem?
@rtcouey Hopefully someone will have a better answer, as I’m no expert on these. But if you’re doing the same things for both drones and the one just isn’t working then here’s a few ideas…
The remote control isn’t paired with the drone. They come pre-paired from the factory, but it’s possible they need to be re-paired. I don’t know the pairing method for these, but try googling it. It’s simple once you know how it’s done.
It may have a faulty battery
It may have some faulty wiring or any other slew of electronic issues
So I suggest trying to pair them first. If that doesn’t work, try pairing the nonworking drone to the remote you DO know is working, and vice versa so you can see if it’s a bad remote. After that, you’ll know if the issue is the drone or the remote, and can contact Meh support for help.
Ordered mine 2 weeks ago- still don’t have them. I think MEH should send stuff 3 day priority instead of pony express. Texas to California - still nothing after 2 weeks. Sad state of shipping.
@crazykelly Would be nice but in meh’s FAQ they state they currently only want to offer a slow cheap shipping to everyone and don’t want to complicate things with faster shipping options. If you want faster shipping, try Amazon (at a much higher price). Can’t have it both ways, I’m afraid.
pile of garbage, both drones uncontrollably took off, never to be seen again. Remote was useless in communication when they uncontrollably flew higher and higher, these things are not safe!
This actually happened after a few days of use it wasn’t right out of the package, everything was calibrated and have used it many times very fun until it got a mind of its own
got the right number of drones per my order and my 8.5 & 11 year olds are really enjoying them; they have training mode where it’s easier to control. really decent drones for the price. def check the manual for the different modes - even has auto takeoff and landing.
I ordered two 2 packs, 1 drone for each of four GREATGRANDSONs, I only got two drones. What am I going to tell the two that won’t get one? WTF? I was interested in the item that was on for today, but I am not going to buy it, I am afraid they will cheat me out of it. I have been a pretty good customer in the past, but I am not so sure that I will continue to be a customer. I have been waiting for a response from Meh for a while now.
boy o boy o. wtf is taking so long to deliver. tracking says its coming from CARROLLTON, TX and I live in Sanger, Tx about an hour away but they ship it to GREENWOOD, IN first? WTF. Right now it says its back in Grapevine, TX and I still am waiting for it to be delivered.
@dahomiegeek Pandemic has hit the post office pretty hard. Delays everywhere and sometimes things just sit around in limbo for unknown reasons. It should get there eventually but I’ve had some stuff get locked in weird limbo the past few weeks. It sucks.
@dahomiegeek same here but some one pointed out we could get it faster and More Expensive at Amazon…I’m still waiting cheaply for 2 weeks. Yea, Pony Express is faster and we have no problems with USPS in California.
@RiotDemon That’s good. But I guess everyone who have ordered 2 or more quantities have this issue. If they know about the issue why not fix it right away and ship the balance instead of waiting for us to reach the customer care. Brings a very bad reputation to the company.
@mamski also at the top of the page you can click the little person and a drop down shows up that says orders. Go there and find the exact order and say “I need help with this.”
@kurwakurwa Try pushing down on the propellers as firm as possible. Then use your nails and lift it just a little bit. Helped when my drone had 3 stuck propellers after a crash.
@ne0tekk I did that and it didn’t work. The issue is that the white propellers spin extremely fast about 1 second after I turn the drone on…as if they were trying to take off.
The front end lifts up a bit but the back end doesn’t get off the ground. The back propellers are spinning normally. The entire drone then shuts down.
Is there a way to reset it or something? Already yanked the battery.
@kurwakurwa maybe you got a defective one. Check the propellers to make sure that the two sets are on correctly. A propellers with A motors and B propellers with B motors. Otherwise just contact meh for a refund or replacement.
Sorry but my first and last order with meh. The order is still in transit and past the delivery date. And I know I am up for another surprise, that I will receive only 2 drones instead of four. Thanks
When I turn on the drone, the front two propellers spin rapidly and the back ones don’t. It doesn’t take off and just shuts down. Did the same happen to you?
You said you fixed it by pressing down really firmly on the back propellers?
@kurwakurwa yes press firmly, then use your fingernails to pull it up slightly so it spins freely. Just make sure when you spin it, there’s no resistance
Still haven’t rec’d my second package of drones. The instructions say to send an email to meh.com/support, but that is not an email address. How do I follow up on this?
Only received one order.
Used browser to fill out form, Some nonsense blaming the virus saying it could take up to 7 days for a reply. When no matter what, Pandemic isn’t stopping people from using the internet. If anything, More people are. Wait times should be quicker than usual.
@liammc I just don’t see your logic in wait times should be shorter because more people are using the internet?
I’m not sure if you realize, the pandemic is real and it does cause issues with supply chains, shipping, and businesses. Yeah, a mistake might of been made, but that doesn’t change the fact that things are slower than normal. They are doing what they can.
@angelvip same thing happened to me, after sending an email, got a message stating that it could take up to 7-8 business days for a reply… omg! can’t believe it…
May 13th, College park Georgia, is where something might be for me. No further updates so far. No problems, I ordered an item from China that takes 45 days. The race is on.
15 days after ordering, and tracking says it’s still in Kentucky. I get that there’s a global pandemic, but I’ve ordered from other places and it took 6 days.
I ordered two of this 2-pack of one click compact camera drones. I was expecting 4 drones, but I only received 2. I’m missing two more drones. What is going on here?
I used to live close to meh! and not far from that four! letter prior company…now only 40 miles away, still took a while to get here and only received 1 two pack of the 2 two packs ordered…sigh…
meh! are you not reading the packing slips??? What’s the turn around time for the missing items?
[edit for clarity]
[edit 2]
Haven’t yet seen, but expect to see a 3-two pack order that received 3 drones to appear in the forum.
@pjjtlc yeah I thiiiiink some things have to go through a specific or designated ‘sorting facility’, so even if they’re in the same town everything still all gets thrown on a truck, sent to a sorting facility, and then from there gets shipped on a truck going to specific towns/areas, if that makes sense. (well, maybe not ‘sense’ as in why would they do that, but… LOL)
Let’s play a drinking game! Every time someone reports they are missing half their order, the package is stuck in shipping limbo, or someone asks how to contact customer support, take a swig.
Update! Package no longer on 7 day vacation in GA, now at pitney bowes facility in my town. Was not even aware of these alternate universe shipping facilities. Wondering what happens now. Anyway looks like maybe to get here before my 45 day shipping from china package. Race is still on.
Q: How much is shipping? How will it be shipped? Can I pay to expedite it?
A: Shipping’s always $5. So yeah, we’re going to ship it the slowest and cheapest way we can possibly find. Usually that’s Smartpost or Surepost, which starts with FedEx or UPS and ends with the post office. It’ll probably be 2 weeks before you get it. And no you can’t get it any faster.
@RiotDemon I’ve been buying from meh for years and have always received my orders. So I never complain about shipping. Just stating where package is vacationing at.
I’m getting excited! Alternate shipping facility to local USPS today. Not to excited, normally takes up to a week for local usps to find it and deliver. Not finding fault just stating facts. So it now looks like meh is going to win the slow boat from china race.
@MsELizardBeth check the bushes, trees, and behind stuff like air conditioning units. Drones love to try and hide behind that stuff. It’s like a Zelda game and you’re looking for money under everything.
Just bad luck or anyone has a blind spot on the left when camera takes video? I don’t care about the cam but just curious. Close one eye and you will know what i am talking about (The nose blocking your view)
Camera looks average SD quality and with xray vision.
ANOTHER UPDATE:
If yours is still not delivered, USPS now has a big red warning sign on their page that now says “ALERT: DUE TO LIMITED TRANSPORTATION AVAILABILITY AS A RESULT OF NATIONWIDE COVID-19 IMPACTS, PACKAGE DELIVERY TIMES MAY BE EXTENDED”
I’m making another round through these cases to check into possible lost/delayed packages, and to add the other missing drones to our replacement sheet. (If yours ends up being marked lost in-transit or damaged, we probs can’t replace these since we might only have enough to fulfill the ones that should have been shipped already, I’m sorry!)
Warehouse has updated me that the updated tracking for the replacements should go live on USPS for viewing by Tuesday, so: if you haven’t heard from me yet, you should before the end of the day as long as you properly submitted your support ticket with your order number, and everyone whose still waiting to hear back with replacement tracking should get an updated email from me by next Tuesday.
You can also use this thread to grumble, whine, or bellyache about this/other things if you want. I’ll try to check back in to answer anything here intermittently to save what’s left of my sanity.
@halfling Mine have yet to even make it to USPS. The tracking still says they’re with “Pitney Bowes” and have been since May 14th, ordered May 5th. Will they ever arrive?
Surely mother earth is healing herself. I just got a tracking number for the 2nd set of sweet RC drones
And I’m pretty sure they’re going to visit Grapevine, TX. on the way to my humble home!!! …, and then into the hands of my lovely grandchildren
@halfling There was GREAT REJOICING in my household! My 2nd set of Drones arrived yesterday. They’re even more beautiful than the first set of Drones. And They even had a short stay over in Grapevine, TX!! Thank you the MEH !!
I just figured the two I got were the tester drones for us to destroy while we waited for the other two to get here. It’s to spread out the loss of drone life.
ps. These are very fun. Thank you for my cheap drones.
got mine today. very cool. I only got 1 of each color in the box, however, I order 2 - 2packs. I would think 4 drones would have arrived. am I missing something here?
Ordered on the 7th. Shipped on the 11th. Arrived on the 23rd…are you kidding me. Flew 3 times and now it’s trash. Never again…it would have come faster from freakin’ China!
Got mine yesterday, and I think they’re pretty fun. I wasn’t expecting much from the price, but they’re actually pretty good. The battery doesn’t last too long, but you get what you pay for and these were dirt cheap. So open both packages, charge one battery while you use the other, then you’ll get 10 minutes-ish of play time with a 20-30-ish minute break to recharge.
still waiting ofr over 3 weeks for delivery. Languaishing in some Pitney
Bowes wearhouse for over a week in California…sigh. just the worst delivery service I’ve ever experienced. I’ve gotten stuff from China faster than Texas with this shipping method. Pony Express was faster.
These were a hoot! My brothers and I had a battle royal years ago at Christmas with some helicopters. We were all getting together for Memorial Day so decided to have another blast together. 3 remain as two brothers paired at same time and didnt realize they were controlling the other drone and one guy was trying to take off and move while the other watched his drone fly deep into a neighborhood never to be found again. For the money, it was a blast of entertainment and the 3 remaining have been swarming like Baskin Bees. Thanks for the great time.
They totally exceeded my expectations. Not fast, not lasting long, cameras like we’re in 2000 but damn I paid $10 for 2. I’m having fun with them. Would never use the camera though, but a good toy to learn how to drive them.
Gave them to my adult son as part of his birthday present and they were a huge hit! He learned very quickly how to fly them and they held a charge for at least 10 minutes or more (more than the 5-7 minutes stated in the description). Fabulous price and great to get 2! Haven’t seen what the video looks like but so far we are extremely happy with this purchase! Thanks Meh!
my order is sitting in a pile waiting to be discovered…shiipped on the 7th from Texas. Takes 4 days to get to Indiana. Then 6 days to get to California. Now it sits in a Pitney Bowes warehouse for the last 9 days. Totally unacceptable Meh! Do something, damn it!
@crazykelly ups and pitney bowes at a minimum among shipping companies have basically abandoned any attempt to deliver on any kind of schedule some time after they dropped their on time guarantees in March or so.
I ordered two 2 packs, took a while to receive just half of my order. Just received an email saying my order has been delivered. Where is my other 2 pack or $10 refund?
another update! May 28th, just received an email from meh saying my May 22 order was delivered. NOT!
Original shipping was May 11th, A half order arrived May 22. I contacted customer service a few times about the half order but no satisfaction yet.
Anyone know where to get extra batteries for these drones? The 5-7 minute flight time and 40min recharge time is such a huge turn-off. I get such a big smile on my face for like 5-7 minutes and then I have to wait 45min to use them again. If I have like 10 batteries I could fly these almost indefinitely or until the batteries burn lol
@daica I contacted the manufacturer and they said this model was discontinued some time ago and they don’t have any batteries and aren’t making any more. They said you can sometimes find 3rd-party suppliers on shopping sites like A ma zon but using them would void any warranty you might have.
I was not happy. I always get extra batteries and chargers for my drones so I can fly at least more than I’m sitting waiting for batteries to charge.
@crazykelly Yes, very good point. And also try to not charge batteries right after they are depleted. They’re pretty hot right after use, and charging them now will make them even hotter which is pretty rough on them. They’ll have a longer life if you treat your batts with care
@Jrickey I’ve been waiting since 5-4-2020 for my delivery. Been sitting in a Pitney Bowes shipping warehouse for the last 11 days in California, doing nothing. MEH NEEDS TO INTERVENE TO GET THIS MONTH OLD PAID FOR ORDER OUTTA PITNEY BOWES AND INTO USPS SYSTEM THAT’S BEEN WAITING FOR IT FOR A MONTH. MEH—DO SOMETHING BESIDES IGNORE US. NOT…GOOD…BUSINESS. I COULD GET STUFF FROM CHINA FASTER THAT FROM TEXAS…
Took forever to receive mine(20 days)but finally showed up.works better without auto-takeoff.Haven’t been able to get video/pictures from either of them;bummer!I think I’ll discontinue my shipping sub.
My order, shipped over 3 weeks ago, is sitting for the last 11 days at a Pitney Bowes shipping partner warehouse. The USPS is still waiting for them to hand it to them so I can get it: Tracking Number: 4209300492612927005269000075314583

I’ve let Meh know many times and they just blow me off. Not good customer service. Guess I’ll stop Meh emails for sales as I probably will never get it. Why does Meh treat their customers like this? Just ignore my pleas? Bad Customer Service. Guess I’ll spread the word on Social Media…maybe that would help.
@crazykelly meh isn’t ignoring anyone, they are currently backed up and reply’s are taking 5-6 business days. Sending multiple messages just makes the backlog that much worse.
Managed to keep it airborne for the full battery charge today. Previously lost two propellers due to crashes and found you need to replace an A prop with an A prop not B. Once a propeller lets loose good luck finding it. I going to need an extra 30 propellers.
I ordered 2 sets (1 red and 1 black - a total of 4 drones) but I only got 2 drones total. Basically, I waited 25 days to get 1/2 my order. Meh is pretty meh lately
Of course I did. I got a reply, mine pretty much saying they were lost, They are working on it.
Shows ticket was closed.
So now had to open another ticket, And continue to wait. And added the information about the one being doa. So in summary, I ordered 4, received one working.
Last time I experienced this kind of snafu, The company who was in fault, Simply refunded all orders for everyone. Major loss I understand, But *siigh
I received 2 of the 4 I ordered (like a lot of people). Contacted support, they replied, and they put in another order for the second 2 on May 21st. The order shows on my page, but it says it’s still processing? Any one else have their corrected order not ship yet?
It’s been almost 3 weeks, and I’m afraid they will not have any more by the time they go to fill it. I know they will refund if that happens, I’m just hoping for the best, lol!
There was GREAT REJOICING in my household! My 2nd set of Drones arrived yesterday. They’re even more beautiful than the first set of Drones Thank you the MEH !!
Hmm. My order for the 2 they forgot just mysteriously disappeared from my orders page. Guess that means I won’t be getting them…which is fine as long as I get a refund. Glad others got theirs…
First one lasted a day and a half before it broke. Second one wasn’t quite as durable. But surprisingly they both worked more than once. Fun while it lasted.
No problems with shipping for me. Totally worth it. Way more than I paid for,m which was stupid cheap and I didn’t expect shit. Got considerably more fun than shit. Would buy again.
I’m another, going on 9 months later now, and still did not receive the second two pack that they promised they would send out. Well when you’re big and on the internet, I guess customer service doesn’t matter anymore. Hope Meh can keep the lights on if that’s the way they are doing and continue to do business because eventually customers (like me) will get sick of these kinds of business practices and useless promises of delivering on customer orders and there will be no more customers. Actually surprised they still are in business. wota57

Drones are Back!!!
Can you attach missiles on these and attack people half way across the world?
@OnionSoup of course
@OnionSoup These look to be Chinese drones - more interested in stealing your personal data than the North Korean models, which like to show off their missile tests.
@jmhsrv oh cool… In for 20.
/Purchase
@OnionSoup or perhaps use it for surveillance to get to the bottom of this Kim Jong-un business in North Korea?
@railek I already know what’s going on in NK. Kim is out negotiating with the aliens controlling the UFOs from the recently released government videos.
Apparently the aliens saw Kim as the most stable world leader at the moment and the only one they could do business with.
What are the camera and video resolutions?
@jayman007 very low. If they were 720p or higher they would say HD on them.
So, does anyone actually know the resolution, not just guessing?
This is one of the reviews
“ Not liking this item keeps doing things I don’t want”
Sounds like my kid
@jmhsrv Bet your kid cost more!
Got 2 on Morningsave a couple days ago, 1 red & 1 black. Price was the same. May be fun to play with.
More bullshit…Only two allowed.
Used to day one woot selling method of three.
@liammc Huh? It’s letting me buy up to 3 sets. You sure you’re limited to only 2?
https://starwarsintrocreator.kassellabs.io/#!/BM6Y0K60y5zU-Je_2Myu
More cheap drones? I’m in! Makes great gifts.
/giphy flawless-motionless-river
@Bandrik that river is def in motion. Looks peaceful
Is 5-7 minutes of flight time typical for small, cheap drones?
I almost bought these, but it’s such a short flight time.
@LaserEyes Unfortunately, yes - The small size and light payload generally mean extremely limited battery capacity. And the cheap price means lower quality batteries that need to charge more slowly than your phone does (cheaper BMS).
Also useful for delivering grilled cheeses
bought one for $12 last month. POS. Buyer beware, these are exactly worth what they are charging for them. In fact, I would suggest they are worth significantly less than $5 each
i wonder if altitude sensors make it not work in colorado or other high above sea level locales?
@username There’s a “calibrate” button so maybe that’ll let you set the ground-level pressure.
One touch? Yea, one touch and they fly straight up and go back to China. They re-pack, ship to MEH and the sell them AGAIN about every 5 to 6 weeks. Not Falling for that for the fifth time, never again!!!
I’m in for a set.
Never forget
@medz My first thought, too!
Oh, the pain.
Can someone explain what the 3ch vs. 4ch is?
I went to 4chan once. Is it anything like that?
(Seriously, though. I’ll wait here for an answer. Ain’t going to go to the Google, just waitin here.)
@G1 Frequencies - so you can fly multiple units in close proximity. 3CH=3 drones 4CH-4drones
@G1 @jewelshound Would it not just be two separate channels so two can be flown together? I’m figuring they could have labeled it Channel 1 and Channel 2 though in that case.
@G1 @Neechy It depends on the product. My weather station has a three pole switch. These drones may only have an A/B switch so you could fly two together. A four frequency circuit would weigh more and add complexity.
@G1 @jewelshound in this case it’s axis of control.
@G1 @zachhh I thought it was comms between controller and drones but I don’t know much up about drones.
@G1 it’s the 4 axis of control you have. These can swap from throttle/yaw on left stick, pitch/roll on right stick, to throttle only on left stick, pitch/yaw on right stick. It makes it slightly easier to fly for kids.
@G1 in summary:
in addition to normal up down, forward reverse
4ch:
allows you to both rotate left/right and or move left right in space without rotation.
3CH:
only allows rotation.

Hey Photoshop intern - you still reading Rip Van Winkle?
I need a drone to snitch on my neighbors. Now I can be “that guy” on my street. Well, no longer do I need to be outside to catch you not sheltering-in-place.
I’d hate to drone on about these but I got two…
/giphy cunning-thriving-taste
Well, at least these HAVE to be better than the stupid drones (by the same company dun dun DUNNNN) I got in the random drone pack–and I was duped into paying even more for those!
These go in the Christmas Box. I won’t be using them but I do hope they work reasonably well.
I have this drone from Meh. I also have a dozen other cheap drones from meh. I recently even bought the meh-reh-thon drone they sold, 5! They sold. I got one. It’s barely left the ground it’s awful.
I just threw out all my older meh drones tonight.
This propel drone is the most responsive one that I’ve bought from meh. To be fair? The right controller arm snapped off within the first mins of use.i just push my thumb harder on the nub.
It’s shitty but not as shitty as usual.
This price is worth it for one flight. But I have been zooming this around for days as my more expensive meh drone sits ashamed in the corner.
I just bought two more. All hail the newst best lowest bar!
@zachhh Thanks. After “talking” to the wife about unnecessary spending and your review, I think I’ll pass.
@Kyser_Soze @zachhh ugh my wife and I had that talk yesterday too!
@jamesski86 @Kyser_Soze @zachhh hmmm I lack a wife to discourage me and that sounds like a more expensive purchase.
First!
@wootthereitis first what?
We’ve had a few of these. The are mildly entertaining and easier to control than the micro drones. That said, I’m sure our neighbor is getting real tired finding them in his yard. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
@colbyjackjunkie.
Or on his roof in my case! Thats a fun conversation…
@colbyjackjunkie @natekimh The company is called Rooftop Brands after all haha. That really caught my eye. Can’t say they didn’t warn ya, it’s right in the name
@colbyjackjunkie @natekimh Should clarify, the Amazon seller company
Can’t wait to crash these
I just don’t have the room to learn to fly these things. How many meh drones do I buy before I just give up? 2 more?
where are the blue tooth speakers?
The kids have fun playing with the one I bought a little while ago. 2 more for less than the price of that one seems like fun for all of us at once.

Hey why not
( racy-lonesome-fire ) I am in for four of these little bad boys, I am in for four of these little bad boys, I’ve got a chicken hawk that stays around my backyard so I’m going to see if I can get him to attack one and take it away. ( i’ll make sure I film it if it goes down )
I have one of these drone that I fly (crash) inside my house with my grandson, they are tuff.
I hope my two years old wild girl can use it
if you have any red left please send me at least one 
Cheapest drones ever, can wait to add to my I found stuff that I never knew I needed it…
I got red so when I dump this thing in tall grass I at least stand a chance of finding it. Then the next hour will probably be spent getting grass out of the props.
I done did it…

@carlosps
When does it shippp?
/giphy ufo
Wow. First experience with Meh. It’s been many days and the drones haven’t even shipped yet! I suppose the playful FAQ promising indifferent customer service wasn’t a joke. But I thought everything here was a joke. Confusing.
@7_Yacht_Twott @tejas_vern
Estimated Delivery
Monday, May 11th - Monday, May 18th
Scroll up and you can see where the delivery details are at the bottom of the drone Specs.
@7_Yacht_Twott @Barney Thanks. Item shipped today.
Have two of these already. Ordered two more. Cheapest and easiest drones for kids to fly. My 4 year old can fly it without to much issue.
/giphy dubious-likeable-window
I am not happy! I ordered two of the 2-packs and got two single packs. I would not have ordered if this was what was for sale.
@smileyjan - same. Just contact customer support. They’re good about taking care of folks. I’m sure they’ll make it right.
@smileyjan Same thing here. Seems that happened to a lot of people. I emailed customer support, hopefully they’ll make it right.
@smileyjan Same. Just got mine in the mail today. 1 red, 1 black. I ordered 1 of each thinking I was getting 4. First order from Meh and apparently the last.
@Bandrik Thanks. I contacted them, now I have to wait and see what happens.
@Lexxus82 Don’t give up on Meh. I order frequently and am usually quite pleased.

https://meh.com/forum/topics/2-pack-of-one-click-compact-camera-drones---red-or-black#5ebc941328c37512149778e6
@Lexxus82 - I can second @smileyjan’s thoughts. I’m no shill so I won’t try and convince you to remain a customer. But in fairness, mistakes happen. Personally I care more about how a mistake is addressed and corrected than the actual mistake itself.
@smileyjan Same here. Just contacted support, anyone know how long it usually takes to hear back from them?
@smileyjan @Squashedtarget normally it’s two business days. Right now they are running around 5 days. Halfling is working on this already.
@smileyjan Thanks. And you’re right. I contacted them and already received a reply.
@Squashedtarget It was literally 2 hours when I received an email back from them.
@smileyjan same thing happened hope it get straightened out
Uh. I ordered a set of red and a set of black… But only got one of each. Wut?
Time to contact customer support, yay.
I ordered two 2 packs and got a box with one red and one black???
@slipperyron make sure you write into support.
Same issue - I ordered 2 packs of 2 drones each and only received 1 of each.
@richleah contact support if you haven’t yet.
Same issue!
@anunn12 meh.com/support
Aww man!! Thank you guys for checking in - and I’m sorry 'bout the missing drones. If you haven’t already, shoot us an email over at meh.com/support (but just one!!!), and pretty please make sure you’re signed in and select the order number when you submit the ticket (it’ll help me search for all the tickets related to this issue specifically so I can answer ya faster!).
I’m doing some investigating…
These may still be hiding out in our warehouse somewhere off-grid, or they may have disappeared off the face of the earth. I should know more tomorrow-(ish?) and’ll be able to get back to everyone individually (via email response). 
@halfling - Thanks! Appreciate the update ^^
@Bandrik (and @ everyone else haha) - happy to help!!
My suspicions were correct! Our inventory showed 0 left, but since they never left, we found them off the grid. We did it gang!!
We’re going to work on getting replacements sent out - hope everyone is staying safe & healthy!
@halfling - Cool, glad you found them and are sending out the missing ones. That works for me.
@halfling Thank you so much ! I also only received 2 of the 4 and I sent a message just now. I know things are crazy right now, and I appreciate you taking the time to let us know you’re working on it. You rock!
@Bandrik @halfling Haven’t received mine yet but I ordered two sets of two so I assume I’m getting just two not four also. Looks like I won’t get mine until maybe Monday, hope there are some left by then
@Bandrik @halfling got mine today and same problem as others who ordered 2 sets of two,I notified customer service. I look forward to getting my other two drones
@halfling Love and appreciate the transparency. I’ll email just to make sure I’m counted among the missing.
Scam. I only got half the order. They didn’t respond
@ester123 responses are taking around 5 business days due to the pandemic. Thanks for your patience.
@ester123 And right above your post is someone from Meh saying they’re looking into it.
Unbunch your panties, go to your safe space, and learn to wait a reasonable amount of time to get a response from someone before you throw your tantrums.
@ester123 - Hey man. “scam” implies a deliberate deception. This was an unintended error, and they’re going to fix it. There’s no evil afoot here. Chillax.
Same problem, as others. Offer said it was a two-pack. Ordered 2 two packs but only received 2 one packs. Reported to MEH today. Hope it doesn’t take as long for their customer service to respond as it did for them to ship and me receive half of what I ordered and paid for and should be getting for the price.

Ordered 1 pack got 2 drones. Guess i am one of the lucky ones. Thanks Meh!
My kids (both under 10) can fly these no problem. That is until I crashed 1 into a tree and haven’t been able to find it/get it out. Should have bought 5 to have a few spares - and now they’re gone (again). So… success?

These are bad ass!!!
Ok, I ordered 2, 2-packs and got one. Emailed meh and I’m confident they will take care of it. They have been awesome at customer service. (Yes, awesome, not just Meh like I would expect !)
Anyway, got the red pack and flew them around. The battery lasted about 15 minutes. Not bad. It’s really fun and easy to fly. It has GREAT fault protection so if you fly into any object, it shuts down till you set it right and move the sticks full range, then it is good to take off again. Works really well. I’m impressed at the quality especially for the price. Can’t wait to get the other two. Thanks Meh, but you disappointed me because these are not…well, meh…
Paul
PANS! GLANDS! CRAYONS! AWESOME!
Where do I have to go to complain about the same issue of not getting my second set?
@Anubis1631 meh.com/support make sure you put your order number in.
Alternatively, you can go to your orders page, find the order, and click “I need help with this”.
Got mine yesterday. Ordered 2x of the 2-package deal and got 4 individually packaged drones. Pretty damn good deal for what it is. I only opened one and while it appeared brand new on the outside with the sticker, there was packaging tape holding some of the manuals in place inside. Also, the remote had some hairline scratches on the face. Was really hoping they were brand new so I can give the other ones away but they’ll work as spares too.
Flight is pretty stable once you get it calibrated with the remote. Can get it to stay pretty steady. Flight time is about 5 minutes give or take. Battery gets really hot after flight and need to wait a few minutes before charging. The start flight button didn’t work but if you hold the toggles outward, it’ll start up. Haven’t tried the camera yet but pretty impressed for what I paid so far. Might keep an eye on meh deals to give a couple away but wish there was a way to verify it was brand new…
Also, these batteries are 450mah even though the listing says 340mah.
Anyone know how to make the batteries last longer? Am pretty impressed for the price. This thing is heads and tails better than the older el cheapo drones of 10 years ago.
@kurwakurwa The only trick I know is that after charging, the batteries will begin to discharge. So if you charge them then wait a few days, they won’t be fully charged anymore. Thus, I’ve found it best to wait until you’re ready to fly, charge the batts, wait a few minutes for the batteries to cool off, then fly!
Expect 5-10 minutes of flight. It might seem short, but that’s a lot of fun in 5 minutes… and if you rotate drones, you’ll get 10-20 minutes of enjoyment between the 2 of them!
@kurwakurwa The other option to get extended flight times is wiring in a jst female connector and removing the stock battery. Then you can have whatever capacity battery you want from hobby shops but I’d stay under 1000mah. The one it came with is 450mah.
The second drone in my order won’t take off at all. The instructions don’t include any troubleshooting instructions. I follow the calibration instructions, but the propellers won’t turn on. Anyone else have this problem?
@rtcouey Hopefully someone will have a better answer, as I’m no expert on these. But if you’re doing the same things for both drones and the one just isn’t working then here’s a few ideas…
The remote control isn’t paired with the drone. They come pre-paired from the factory, but it’s possible they need to be re-paired. I don’t know the pairing method for these, but try googling it. It’s simple once you know how it’s done.
It may have a faulty battery
It may have some faulty wiring or any other slew of electronic issues
So I suggest trying to pair them first. If that doesn’t work, try pairing the nonworking drone to the remote you DO know is working, and vice versa so you can see if it’s a bad remote. After that, you’ll know if the issue is the drone or the remote, and can contact Meh support for help.
Like everyone else! I ordered two 2 packs and only received a total of 2. Not the 4 I ordered!
@716sweetness1 contact support if you haven’t yet. Make sure you use your order number in the correspondence.
Same as everyone else! I ordered two 2 packs and only received a total of 2. Not the 4 I ordered.
@KBP did you contact support?
@RiotDemon
Yes, patiently waiting for a response. Until then I got drones to fly. : )
Ordered mine 2 weeks ago- still don’t have them. I think MEH should send stuff 3 day priority instead of pony express. Texas to California - still nothing after 2 weeks. Sad state of shipping.
@crazykelly Would be nice but in meh’s FAQ they state they currently only want to offer a slow cheap shipping to everyone and don’t want to complicate things with faster shipping options. If you want faster shipping, try Amazon (at a much higher price). Can’t have it both ways, I’m afraid.
@Bandrik true, true…
@crazykelly Having said that, I DO agree with you. I DO wish I could pay a little more to have upgraded shipping speed.
pile of garbage, both drones uncontrollably took off, never to be seen again. Remote was useless in communication when they uncontrollably flew higher and higher, these things are not safe!
@e009122 Interesting. I’ll definitely watch out for that when I go to try mine out. Thanks for the caution!
@Bandrik @e009122 I always test drones in the house first.
@e009122 did you calibrate everything first? Have it in beginner mode first?
@Bandrik @RiotDemon
This actually happened after a few days of use it wasn’t right out of the package, everything was calibrated and have used it many times very fun until it got a mind of its own
@e009122 Priceless, Everyone I tell this to uncontrollably laughs.
By the way a drone landed in my yard a few days ago.?
got the right number of drones per my order and my 8.5 & 11 year olds are really enjoying them; they have training mode where it’s easier to control. really decent drones for the price. def check the manual for the different modes - even has auto takeoff and landing.
@jar My battery gets really hot when charging so maybe monitor them when charging
Yup I ordered two 2-packs. I only got two drones. WTF?
I’m awaiting a response from Meh.
@Trinityscrew Check above. Known issue. Contact customer support for help.

I was interested in the item that was on for today, but I am not going to buy it, I am afraid they will cheat me out of it. I have been a pretty good customer in the past, but I am not so sure that I will continue to be a customer. I have been waiting for a response from Meh for a while now.
@Jesse12345 they are about five business days out on replies. They are aware of this issue and will make it right.

@dahomiegeek Pandemic has hit the post office pretty hard. Delays everywhere and sometimes things just sit around in limbo for unknown reasons. It should get there eventually but I’ve had some stuff get locked in weird limbo the past few weeks. It sucks.
@dahomiegeek same here but some one pointed out we could get it faster and More Expensive at Amazon…I’m still waiting cheaply for 2 weeks. Yea, Pony Express is faster and we have no problems with USPS in California.

For all the people that didn’t get their entire order, please contact support. They are aware and there is previous comments about it.
@RiotDemon Thanks RD!
@RiotDemon That’s good. But I guess everyone who have ordered 2 or more quantities have this issue. If they know about the issue why not fix it right away and ship the balance instead of waiting for us to reach the customer care. Brings a very bad reputation to the company.
@RiotDemon It would be helpful if you’d tell us specifically how to contact support. meh.com/support is not an email address…

Mines showing stuck in Georgia since the 13th no more movement they were supposed to be here by the 18th today.
@bplink95 shipping is a little fudged up with everything going on. I had a package that sat at the sorting facility for 4 days.
So I have flown one of the drones for 5 minutes in the evening since I received them 3 days ago.
When I try to turn it on, the white propellers spin extremely fast and the drone refuses to take off.
Battery has full juice and everything is paired.
Is this a defective drone or?
I have only flown it in training mode in my living room. No major crashes.
@kurwakurwa Try pushing down on the propellers as firm as possible. Then use your nails and lift it just a little bit. Helped when my drone had 3 stuck propellers after a crash.
@ne0tekk I did that and it didn’t work. The issue is that the white propellers spin extremely fast about 1 second after I turn the drone on…as if they were trying to take off.
The front end lifts up a bit but the back end doesn’t get off the ground. The back propellers are spinning normally. The entire drone then shuts down.
Is there a way to reset it or something? Already yanked the battery.
@kurwakurwa maybe you got a defective one. Check the propellers to make sure that the two sets are on correctly. A propellers with A motors and B propellers with B motors. Otherwise just contact meh for a refund or replacement.

Been there for 5 days… which carrier is this?
@mattma newgistics. I had a package that did the same thing recently. After four days it started moving again.
Poor service
@garetbug did you have an issue? Did you contact support?
@garetbug @RiotDemon How do you contact support??
Sorry but my first and last order with meh. The order is still in transit and past the delivery date. And I know I am up for another surprise, that I will receive only 2 drones instead of four. Thanks
Yes, like everyone else who ordered these. Ridiculous shipping. Suppose to arrive week ago.
@garetbug patience is appreciated. Unfortunately shipping is slow due to everything happening.
@ne0tekk
When I turn on the drone, the front two propellers spin rapidly and the back ones don’t. It doesn’t take off and just shuts down. Did the same happen to you?
You said you fixed it by pressing down really firmly on the back propellers?
@kurwakurwa yes press firmly, then use your fingernails to pull it up slightly so it spins freely. Just make sure when you spin it, there’s no resistance
Still haven’t rec’d my second package of drones. The instructions say to send an email to meh.com/support, but that is not an email address. How do I follow up on this?
ORDER NUMBER:
(Edited out tracking info)
@mamski just type meh.com/support in your browser, fill out the form and hit the green SEND button!
@mamski
Same issue.
Ordered the max of Two x 2
Only received one order.
Used browser to fill out form, Some nonsense blaming the virus saying it could take up to 7 days for a reply. When no matter what, Pandemic isn’t stopping people from using the internet. If anything, More people are. Wait times should be quicker than usual.
@liammc @mamski remember that a lot more people are staying home and shopping too.
@mamski @RiotDemon
How can we forget, Every place is blaming covid-19 for online shopping delays to pets shyting on their rugs.
Here’s an idea. unemployment is way up. Hire more to work from home ;))
Don’t forget reply times wouldn’t matter if the limited people working didn’t f*ck up…lol
@liammc I just don’t see your logic in wait times should be shorter because more people are using the internet?
I’m not sure if you realize, the pandemic is real and it does cause issues with supply chains, shipping, and businesses. Yeah, a mistake might of been made, but that doesn’t change the fact that things are slower than normal. They are doing what they can.
Btw, you can say fuck here.
@liammc @RiotDemon What about shit?
@Ignorant shit is not allowed damnit.
@RiotDemon
I Was referring to online customer service.
And I also try not to swear, Hah
@liammc
f*ck <-- come on does that really count?
@Ignorant
We’ll of course. It’s like freaking, Everyone still knows what is meant
@liammc @mamski @RiotDemon if it makes you feel any better, we did hire like four more people hahaha
2 weeks already, still haven’t receive, shipping tracking stop update after 5/13. Contacted support, so far no reply.

May 13th, College park Georgia, is where something might be for me. No further updates so far. No problems, I ordered an item from China that takes 45 days. The race is on.
15 days after ordering, and tracking says it’s still in Kentucky. I get that there’s a global pandemic, but I’ve ordered from other places and it took 6 days.

@benny1213 looks like it’s at the FDR. I’ve had packages stall there for several days before they get moving again.
Just checked and it’s still at College Park, GA. Since May 13th. Wow, the corona shutdown is working. Wondering if it will ever arrive.
Still in Greenwood, IN - been there since the 13th.
I used to live close to meh! and not far from that four! letter prior company…now only 40 miles away, still took a while to get here and only received 1 two pack of the 2 two packs ordered…sigh…
meh! are you not reading the packing slips??? What’s the turn around time for the missing items?
[edit for clarity]
[edit 2]
Haven’t yet seen, but expect to see a 3-two pack order that received 3 drones to appear in the forum.
@pjjtlc if you haven’t already, contact support.
@pjjtlc yeah
I thiiiiink some things have to go through a specific or designated ‘sorting facility’, so even if they’re in the same town everything still all gets thrown on a truck, sent to a sorting facility, and then from there gets shipped on a truck going to specific towns/areas, if that makes sense. (well, maybe not ‘sense’ as in why would they do that, but… LOL)
Let’s play a drinking game! Every time someone reports they are missing half their order, the package is stuck in shipping limbo, or someone asks how to contact customer support, take a swig.
@Bandrik I’m dead.
@RiotDemon Hahaha! You’re welcome. XD
Update! Package no longer on 7 day vacation in GA, now at pitney bowes facility in my town. Was not even aware of these alternate universe shipping facilities. Wondering what happens now. Anyway looks like maybe to get here before my 45 day shipping from china package. Race is still on.
@Odorous Cost cutting using low cost couriers. Covid is just an excuse.
@tejas_vern guess you never read the FAQ?
@RiotDemon You are right. I was expecting too much for the price I paid.
@RiotDemon I’ve been buying from meh for years and have always received my orders. So I never complain about shipping. Just stating where package is vacationing at.
@Odorous that’s why my comment was addressed to the person that responded to you. They seemed confused about how meh works.
Got the drones today. Luckily received all 4 in 1 package.
@tejas_vern lucky, indeed! Congrats!
I’m getting excited! Alternate shipping facility to local USPS today. Not to excited, normally takes up to a week for local usps to find it and deliver. Not finding fault just stating facts. So it now looks like meh is going to win the slow boat from china race.
@DrWorm bought your mom that necklace you hated.
I would buy these again in a heartbeat, even though my kid lost his in the neighbors yard in like 10 minutes.
It straight up disappeared:(
@MsELizardBeth check the bushes, trees, and behind stuff like air conditioning units. Drones love to try and hide behind that stuff. It’s like a Zelda game and you’re looking for money under everything.
@Bandrik
We moved branches, pulled tall weeds, looked from high and low places. Moved cars. Its just gone.
A lot of alien spacecraft look like small drones…
Just bad luck or anyone has a blind spot on the left when camera takes video? I don’t care about the cam but just curious. Close one eye and you will know what i am talking about (The nose blocking your view)

Any idea where my order is? sitting in Bloomingtom, CA for last 9 days?
@orrink well, that’s probably where it is. You can contact support, but it’ll be several days for a reply. It might start moving by then.
ANOTHER UPDATE:
If yours is still not delivered, USPS now has a big red warning sign on their page that now says “ALERT: DUE TO LIMITED TRANSPORTATION AVAILABILITY AS A RESULT OF NATIONWIDE COVID-19 IMPACTS, PACKAGE DELIVERY TIMES MAY BE EXTENDED”
I’m making another round through these cases to check into possible lost/delayed packages, and to add the other missing drones to our replacement sheet. (If yours ends up being marked lost in-transit or damaged, we probs can’t replace these since we might only have enough to fulfill the ones that should have been shipped already, I’m sorry!)
Warehouse has updated me that the updated tracking for the replacements should go live on USPS for viewing by Tuesday, so: if you haven’t heard from me yet, you should before the end of the day as long as you properly submitted your support ticket with your order number, and everyone whose still waiting to hear back with replacement tracking should get an updated email from me by next Tuesday.
You can also use this thread to grumble, whine, or bellyache about this/other things if you want. I’ll try to check back in to answer anything here intermittently to save what’s left of my sanity.
@halfling Sweet, thanks for the update.
@halfling Thanks for the update.
I Still love the MEH.
I did want to complain about the size of the french fries at Wendy’s.
Thank you for letting me bellycache.
@carlosps too small or too big?
@RiotDemon They’re too big
Get too much sauce in a dip. I have to work on my dipping skills…, while I patiently wait for two more drones
Heh, my drones still haven’t arrived, I was wondering if they were flying the drones up, stopping to recharge every 10 minutes
@halfling Mine have yet to even make it to USPS. The tracking still says they’re with “Pitney Bowes” and have been since May 14th, ordered May 5th. Will they ever arrive?
@halfling
Surely mother earth is healing herself. I just got a tracking number for the 2nd set of sweet RC drones
And I’m pretty sure they’re going to visit Grapevine, TX. on the way to my humble home!!! …, and then into the hands of my lovely grandchildren
@halfling I LOVE THE MEH!!!
@halfling There was GREAT REJOICING in my household! My 2nd set of Drones arrived yesterday. They’re even more beautiful than the first set of Drones. And They even had a short stay over in Grapevine, TX!! Thank you the MEH !!
Received a half order today.
Love meh! Rutledge rocks!
I just figured the two I got were the tester drones for us to destroy while we waited for the other two to get here. It’s to spread out the loss of drone life.
ps. These are very fun. Thank you for my cheap drones.
got mine today. very cool. I only got 1 of each color in the box, however, I order 2 - 2packs. I would think 4 drones would have arrived. am I missing something here?
@tegebhart there’s a ton of other comments about this. Go to your order page and contact support.
Ordered on the 7th. Shipped on the 11th. Arrived on the 23rd…are you kidding me. Flew 3 times and now it’s trash. Never again…it would have come faster from freakin’ China!
@dmeislin Do you want to sell the extra propellers? Just asking.
Got mine yesterday, and I think they’re pretty fun. I wasn’t expecting much from the price, but they’re actually pretty good. The battery doesn’t last too long, but you get what you pay for and these were dirt cheap. So open both packages, charge one battery while you use the other, then you’ll get 10 minutes-ish of play time with a 20-30-ish minute break to recharge.
@JDCornwell
Ridiculous.
still waiting ofr over 3 weeks for delivery. Languaishing in some Pitney
Bowes wearhouse for over a week in California…sigh. just the worst delivery service I’ve ever experienced. I’ve gotten stuff from China faster than Texas with this shipping method. Pony Express was faster.
These were a hoot! My brothers and I had a battle royal years ago at Christmas with some helicopters. We were all getting together for Memorial Day so decided to have another blast together. 3 remain as two brothers paired at same time and didnt realize they were controlling the other drone and one guy was trying to take off and move while the other watched his drone fly deep into a neighborhood never to be found again. For the money, it was a blast of entertainment and the 3 remaining have been swarming like Baskin Bees. Thanks for the great time.
I have not received my order as of yet. Hopefully soon??
They totally exceeded my expectations. Not fast, not lasting long, cameras like we’re in 2000 but damn I paid $10 for 2. I’m having fun with them. Would never use the camera though, but a good toy to learn how to drive them.
Gave them to my adult son as part of his birthday present and they were a huge hit! He learned very quickly how to fly them and they held a charge for at least 10 minutes or more (more than the 5-7 minutes stated in the description). Fabulous price and great to get 2! Haven’t seen what the video looks like but so far we are extremely happy with this purchase! Thanks Meh!
my order is sitting in a pile waiting to be discovered…shiipped on the 7th from Texas. Takes 4 days to get to Indiana. Then 6 days to get to California. Now it sits in a Pitney Bowes warehouse for the last 9 days. Totally unacceptable Meh! Do something, damn it!
@crazykelly ups and pitney bowes at a minimum among shipping companies have basically abandoned any attempt to deliver on any kind of schedule some time after they dropped their on time guarantees in March or so.
I ordered two 2 packs, took a while to receive just half of my order. Just received an email saying my order has been delivered. Where is my other 2 pack or $10 refund?
@Theskyking go to your orders page and contact support.
another update! May 28th, just received an email from meh saying my May 22 order was delivered. NOT!
Original shipping was May 11th, A half order arrived May 22. I contacted customer service a few times about the half order but no satisfaction yet.
It took a month but they finally showed up. Knew they were made in China but did not know they were coming from China.
Anyone know where to get extra batteries for these drones? The 5-7 minute flight time and 40min recharge time is such a huge turn-off. I get such a big smile on my face for like 5-7 minutes and then I have to wait 45min to use them again. If I have like 10 batteries I could fly these almost indefinitely or until the batteries burn lol
@daica I contacted the manufacturer and they said this model was discontinued some time ago and they don’t have any batteries and aren’t making any more. They said you can sometimes find 3rd-party suppliers on shopping sites like A ma zon but using them would void any warranty you might have.
I was not happy. I always get extra batteries and chargers for my drones so I can fly at least more than I’m sitting waiting for batteries to charge.
AS LONG AS YOU LET THE MOTORS COOL DOWN BEFORE USING WITH NEXT BATTERY.
@crazykelly Yes, very good point. And also try to not charge batteries right after they are depleted. They’re pretty hot right after use, and charging them now will make them even hotter which is pretty rough on them. They’ll have a longer life if you treat your batts with care
I have yet to receive my order despite it saying they would be delivered on the 15th. Reached out to meh with no response.
@Jrickey I’ve been waiting since 5-4-2020 for my delivery. Been sitting in a Pitney Bowes shipping warehouse for the last 11 days in California, doing nothing. MEH NEEDS TO INTERVENE TO GET THIS MONTH OLD PAID FOR ORDER OUTTA PITNEY BOWES AND INTO USPS SYSTEM THAT’S BEEN WAITING FOR IT FOR A MONTH. MEH—DO SOMETHING BESIDES IGNORE US. NOT…GOOD…BUSINESS. I COULD GET STUFF FROM CHINA FASTER THAT FROM TEXAS…
So fun.
One of my drobe totally lost the connection from the Remote , not working any more
@sameershussain you have a 90 day warranty from meh in case you can’t troubleshoot it.
Took forever to receive mine(20 days)but finally showed up.works better without auto-takeoff.Haven’t been able to get video/pictures from either of them;bummer!I think I’ll discontinue my shipping sub.
My order, shipped over 3 weeks ago, is sitting for the last 11 days at a Pitney Bowes shipping partner warehouse. The USPS is still waiting for them to hand it to them so I can get it: Tracking Number: 4209300492612927005269000075314583

I’ve let Meh know many times and they just blow me off. Not good customer service. Guess I’ll stop Meh emails for sales as I probably will never get it. Why does Meh treat their customers like this? Just ignore my pleas? Bad Customer Service. Guess I’ll spread the word on Social Media…maybe that would help.
@crazykelly meh isn’t ignoring anyone, they are currently backed up and reply’s are taking 5-6 business days. Sending multiple messages just makes the backlog that much worse.
@crazykelly unfortunately Pitney Bowes is overloaded right now. A lot of people’s orders have been held hostage but eventually PB does let them go.
Managed to keep it airborne for the full battery charge today. Previously lost two propellers due to crashes and found you need to replace an A prop with an A prop not B. Once a propeller lets loose good luck finding it. I going to need an extra 30 propellers.
Will they send an email when the order completion is shipped?
@rghanes They sent me one but I only got a half order. Then I contacted customer service and am waiting for a reply.
@Odorous @rghanes Same for me.
I ordered 2 sets (1 red and 1 black - a total of 4 drones) but I only got 2 drones total. Basically, I waited 25 days to get 1/2 my order. Meh is pretty meh lately
@thadberious meh.com/support
It’s been a month. The package has traveled across the country and back. Sits in various warehouses for a day at a time. Then is sent to another.
This was one of the worst experiences I personally had with any online order in decades.
1/2 an order, And still haven’t sent the rest.
One of the original two that arrived won’t even charge.
VMP service at its best.
@liammc meh.com/support
@RiotDemon
Of course I did. I got a reply, mine pretty much saying they were lost, They are working on it.
Shows ticket was closed.
So now had to open another ticket, And continue to wait. And added the information about the one being doa. So in summary, I ordered 4, received one working.
Last time I experienced this kind of snafu, The company who was in fault, Simply refunded all orders for everyone. Major loss I understand, But *siigh
Most expeditious resolution imo.
@moonhat is why there are no summer holidays in June.
@liammc you may have to plug it in 3 or 4 times to get it to charge.
Now it’s a month after they were supposed to be delivered. I’m still waiting. MEH, please contact me.
@Jrickey you have to contact them.
meh.com/support
I received 2 of the 4 I ordered (like a lot of people). Contacted support, they replied, and they put in another order for the second 2 on May 21st. The order shows on my page, but it says it’s still processing? Any one else have their corrected order not ship yet?
It’s been almost 3 weeks, and I’m afraid they will not have any more by the time they go to fill it. I know they will refund if that happens, I’m just hoping for the best, lol!
Meh says that the rest of my order has been shipped has anyone got a new tracking number yet ? I have not
@jmbunkin A day I never thought would come,I received my “follow up” drones yesterday. I’m glad it’s finally over !
Last 2 received today. June 15. 3 red, 1 black! Close enough. No bonus or apology for screw up or delay!
RH
There was GREAT REJOICING in my household! My 2nd set of Drones arrived yesterday. They’re even more beautiful than the first set of Drones
Thank you the MEH !!
/giphy soft-earthy-mule
Hmm. My order for the 2 they forgot just mysteriously disappeared from my orders page. Guess that means I won’t be getting them…which is fine as long as I get a refund. Glad others got theirs…
First one lasted a day and a half before it broke. Second one wasn’t quite as durable. But surprisingly they both worked more than once. Fun while it lasted.
No problems with shipping for me. Totally worth it. Way more than I paid for,m which was stupid cheap and I didn’t expect shit. Got considerably more fun than shit. Would buy again.
I’m another, going on 9 months later now, and still did not receive the second two pack that they promised they would send out. Well when you’re big and on the internet, I guess customer service doesn’t matter anymore. Hope Meh can keep the lights on if that’s the way they are doing and continue to do business because eventually customers (like me) will get sick of these kinds of business practices and useless promises of delivering on customer orders and there will be no more customers. Actually surprised they still are in business. wota57
Unable to get drones to fly as they should. Tried to contact for customer service and no longer available. Now what!
