*The moral of this story: Yuneecskins.com is/are(?) the very best. If there's a Yuneec accessory that you want or need and they have it (they have LOTS more than Yuneec's store), buy it at YuneecSkins.com without a second thought. Their prices and customer service are top tier. They're the kind of business that makes you want to check with them before looking anywhere else, the kind of business that you judge lesser businesses against.
Oh yeah... and I can confirm that John is real. Realer than Yuneec themselves imo, its been weeks and Yuneec still hasn't responded to any messages I've sent to their sales and support email addresses!
The actual story: I purchased a used "Yuneec q500 4k" from a client that needed a few parts. Needed shaft for a "Du-Bro" prop balancer that I ordered from the manufacturer, some new propellers because it only had one complete set remaining and one of them was in less than perfect shape, and most importantly, a new right landing leg because I'd accidentally cracked one pretty much as soon as I took possession of the thing. It seemed to me like an amazing price... I'm very "new drone naïve," I only know what's new & old w/ DJi because they advertise so much and are available all over, so given the condition of most of it I figured it must be maybe a year or three old max. My own fancier universal balance charger clocked all batteries as like-new. I quickly found out that it was older than I thought, and Yuneec doesn't offer parts for legacy products (they don't even answer emails). The person I bought it from is a former pilot and said he'd only flown it perhaps a few hours total and it looked it, besides the missing leg. I thought I was screwed, I had great difficulty finding parts from reputable sellers until I found YuneecSkins, prior to that I could only find one seller with a single set left on eBay for like 4x as much. I ordered a pair of legs then decided an extra full second set would be nice when I noticed that YuneecSkins sold singles too so I emailed to ask if I could have them charge another right leg to my order as I hadn't yet received the shipping confirmation email, then acted like a cranky baby about it because I was anxious to play with my new toy, and it turned out he'd included the second right leg free of charge! AND a bag of skittles, I love skittles haha! John & YuneecSkins.com is quite literally the best source for Yuneec accessories, in all possible ways. Best prices, best customer service. The prop balancer shaft and extra props all arrived on the same day as the legs from YuneecSkins, even though I'd ordered those other items about a week prior to the legs! Elated to be airborne so quickly even though the other companies I ordered parts from took so much longer than YS, everything worked out perfectly. Plus the skittles! :) *^^ I wrote the conclusion at the top because I know most people don't have time to read text walls...
Read moreOMG! I honestly don't know where to begin! Words cant describe the customer service I received from YUNEEC SKINS! First of all this guy JOHN, who is the owner, and probably the only person on the entire west coast with the know hows and alllllllllllllll the parts you could need for a YUNEEC aircraft! I literally walked into a YUNEEC DREAM because he has every part a person could want to repair a drone! I needed a new controller for my TYPHOON H plus.. he had tons of them. and even binded it to my drone. and after seeing all the neat YUNEEC toys he had in stock. i left there with a new charging unit that not only charges my batteries but de-charges them for storage mode. I also purchased a set of the YUNEEC GOGGELS FOR VIEWING WHAT EVER I AM RECODING, right before my eyes. I bought the lil tiny hand held controller for when i'm on my jet ski or motorcycle my drone will follow me safely.. This guy JOHN is a gem for our entire industry!! This post cant be long enough to say or explain how i was treated by him and his wife! Just know, this place and these people are the real deal. Period! You will not be sorry for contacting them. I guarantee it! Roland T....
Read moreI am Michael Starley with Personal Drone Repair. I recently took on the task of rebuilding a Typhoon H without checking parts availability first. I immediately realized that I had overloaded my promise to my customer. I had also given my customer a dedicated dead line for turn around. Something that I never do. I was pointed towards Yuneec Skins website through a member of the Yuneec Pilots forum. John had everything that I needed . The parts selection was presented in perfect fashion on the site. Considering that this was my first Typhoon H rebuild, this site layout was a god send. I made my deadline with two days to spare and I ordered more parts than I needed. John was more than happy to refund me for the parts that I did not need. Both the parts delivery and the refund were received much earlier than expected. Just meeting John and talking with him on the phone was a pleasure. I will definitely use him with any future Yuneec endeavors! Thank you John! You...
