Solo prop deal

aidanlou · Jul 9, 2016

Hi all,

3dr is selling 10 sets of props for the price of 5 for the next few days. Nobody needs 20 props but I can't resist a good deal. Would anybody be interested in splitting this deal with me? Lemme know.

Do you have a link for that information?
I don't see anything at the 3dr website

I would like to see that link as well, especially since I missed out on the 2 for 1 battery sale. I haven't broken a prop YET but it's always nice to be prepared.

Try looking at the store on your phone. Not sure why it isn't showing up on the computer.

I have crashed the solo once and that time I broke all four. Pretty bad crash though.

Also crashed a carbon quad I built once. Broke 2 arms, a motor and all four props. :/

That's interesting. I went to the Solo store, saw the banner with this advertisement, and when I clicked on it I didn't get any additional information. It's not showing up on my phone either.

Maybe it's a banner that was loaded prematurely and will show up soon.

Getting the same thing. Maybe wait like 9 hours? It said 9h and 1d when I saw.

Yeah something like that.

I was thinking that the web site administrator meant to load the banner with a time delay but loaded it live instead.

I just sent them a customer support request asking them why their website won't honor their sale pricing. This is the second time I've tried to take advantage of their sales , last month was with the 2 for 1 price on batteries and now this 10 for price of 5 seems to be another bait & switch tactic. This is starting to rub me the wrong way !!!

I did see the ad come up on my phone, sometimes. Clicking on "show me how" just takes you to the standard propeller order page with regular pricing. No Discounts.
The first banner ad that came up was for special 4th of July pricing with 0 minutes left.
3DR's Site admin is not doing their job right.

If you use incognito mode you will see the banner again.

aidanlou · Jul 9, 2016

Well in any event, if it does work is anyone down to split?

When I go to the site in private mode I see a banner ad for the 4th of July 599.00 Solo with gimbal. Expires in zero seconds. I clicked on it and it shows the price of 999.00.

I tried, clicked on it, got the regular price.

They are clowns in the marketing area!

Mr GruntHunter · Jul 10, 2016

And we're wayyyyy past April 1st ! ! !

Well i also see that promo.. it appears a msg with instructions says that you have to add 10 normal probs in your basket and then add a promo code to get the discount.... Following the above procedures i finally reach final check out, when i saw international flat rate of 280 usd for the price of 5 sets of probs which cost 100 usd (total price i had to pay 370) immediately cancel transaction.... i was very lucky.... Nice Offers from 3dr but very unorganized...

Mr GruntHunter · Jul 10, 2016

Did you find a promo code anywhere? I didn't see one.

Stylianosz · Jul 10, 2016

Yes.... i think it was "5PROPSFREE" you can try it.... If not expired already...

PdxSteve · Jul 10, 2016

It works. You need to add 10 regular props to your cart and then use the discount code "5PROPSFREE" during checkout, which will subtract $74.76 from the price making it $86.57 including shipping.
