New DIY Drones distributor in Europe

Posted by Chris Anderson on February 17, 2011 at 6:09am

3689390017?profile=originalI'm pleased to pass on the news that Martin has launched Build Your Own Drone, a full-featured DIY Drones distributor based in the UK.  They're selling everything from ready-to-fly APMs to components and, soon, ArduCopters. This should be a great choice for people who want faster and cheaper shipping in Europe.

 

Welcome aboard, Martin!

    Thank you all for your kind words, I have not had the chance to pop in and thank everyone here on the forums who has helped get me to this stage, you know who you are :o).

     

    The team at DIYD have also put up with me emailing them a whole lot, so a big thank to the DIYD team for their support.

     

    The point raised by iw28, I will look into, I thought I was the cheapest in Europe, so a little confused on the pricing, but if you would like to PM me iw28, I will be happy to talk with you, :)

     

    I would also like to thank my new customers who have ordered from me today, your packages are set for the post office in the morning, and you will have your tracking numbers before lunch.

     

    @Leon, one day maybe I might look at another kit or two, however I can't think of a better lower cost option at this time to stock, I have always welcomed and will continue to welcome all new thoughts and ideas :)

     

    Kind Regards

     

    Martin

    Good news.

    But I don't understand why all those shops only sell DIYDRONE solutions... It would be interesting to have several "brands" in those shops.

    Very good that they sell APM and other cool stuff from UK. And very good that they sell the APM almost the same price as the one from diydrones store, but very sad that they sell the IMU for high prices compare to the diydrones store :(

    Very high prices! buildyouronedrone sells the IMU for 126.99 GPB almost 203 USD!

    Hi Ersin,

    Postage to Turkey starts from £14.00 depending on the weight of the order. That is insured and tracked in the UK with Royal Mail, as it is not an EU country I have to do some additional paper work for export, that's why it's not listed on the check out page. I will see how much interest there is from outside the EU over the coming weeks and might, add them as a shipping method for people to select, at the moment if you would like to order from outside the EU I ask for an email to info@buildyourowndrone.co.uk so I can see what the demand is!

     

    Regards

     

    Martin.
