How to get a refund from Fly Eagle Jets?
I placed an order for a Fly Eagle 1:6 f18 a very long time ago and as it would turn out the order wasn't submitted until the first week of January...
Being told that the delivery was 8-10 weeks I have been pretty patient as it's now been 18 weeks from the actual order placement...when I ask for a refund I get a message that it's "ready to be shipped" yet for the past couple weeks still no delivery info...
Is it worth waiting for ?
I am curious if anyone out there in my shoes has successfully gotten a refund from them?
If so how did you do it ?
they seem to have no problem taking the money up front yet delivery is no where near what they tell you it is ...if I knew this up front I would have NEVER ordered it ...
I was planning on buying a few more jets from them but now that is not happening...I've been eyeballing the Yellow Aircraft Dual f-18 for a while now and think that's the way I'd rather go if possible...any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Anthony

RE: How to get a refund from Fly Eagle Jets?
If you get the yellow F18 you will have a rock solid plane that will last you many years..... Get the flyeagle and it will look pretty but doubt it will last very long.
Also the yellow is VERY scale and can go into scale contest and be static judged. The flyeagle well.... not so much lol
I will say this the big flyeagle F18 is very impressive in person to see but I would rather have a scale plane that flies great and will last a long time.

I tried to get a refund on my F-14 after I ordered it and was told by Lowell that I can only get a refund if they sell my plane to someone else. You might be in the same boat.

RE: How to get a refund from Fly Eagle Jets?
If you paid with a CC They will back you up for an undelivered product. If you wire transferred funds directly to FEJ China, Good Luck with that!
Moral of the story, NEVER PAY CASH! NEVER ORDER DIRECTLY FROM FEJ! Use your CC, and order from a US dealer. Have agreed delivery time indicated on the invoice with refund terms if delivery not met. If they don't make delivery on time, your CC company should cover you. Anything else and you're just rolling the dice with your money!

RE: How to get a refund from Fly Eagle Jets?
This was actually ordered through Lowell in the USA but it was paid for in cash....via Paypal
I was originally concerned about paying directly to FEJ for just that reason. I was originally told that the jet would be put on order with a 50% deposit and then when it was close to being ready the other 50% was due...
I paid for the balance on January 7th only to find out that the order was never actually placed until the balance was paid...I was VERY disappointed and shocked to say the least...this was the first jet I have ever ordered from FEJ and was doing this through my builder...so i wasn't really actively involved in the ordering until it was too late.
I have since been patient and being told 8-10 weeks from January wasn't that bad...well 18 weeks later lots of empty promises and no jet...aside from that I'm not sure I want the jet at all after reading about the quality issues .....I just don't understand why they think it's okay to NOT deliver an order on the terms they set...you're right...they SHOULD be held responsible for delivery dates..
they sure weren't shy about taking the payments...at this point I'd love to get a refund and walk away from FEJ once and for all...and go buy a Yellow F-18
Thanks for the info guys...

You can get a refund through Pay-Pal for non performance.

RE: How to get a refund from Fly Eagle Jets?
Paypal....
it's been a very long time...I thought Paypal only gave you 45 days from the date of the payment?
Can anyone confirm this ?....if that is the case I would seek that route
thanks

RE: How to get a refund from Fly Eagle Jets?
YES with paypal is 45 days, what i have learned is that on the 44th day you open the case and is open until it is resolved....i also found out the hard way.
Anyway i have tried a month ago to buy a cancelled order of an f18 and i emailed james and factory and for the first time James never replied and i guess the reply was from somebody in the factory that answered some of my questions and said that they would get back to me...silence since then.

If this order was placed thru your builder, it sounds like you need to have a serious discussion with him. Somebody apparently mislead you about the order process! You need to identify who lied! If your builder took the money in October but didn't actually place the order until Jan, he's part of the problem.

This happens to be one of those instances where it would be in the best interest not to make idle accusations about a situation you know little about. Both the builder and Anthony had a purchase agreement as mentioned.
How might I know this?...I am the builder.
I ask you kindly, to please keep the focus on the problem at hand and not something entirely innacurate.
Many Thanks,
Jon

RE: How to get a refund from Fly Eagle Jets?
You sent money to Lowell... So I would be contacting him to get it resolved. Also, That is correct, (MAYBE) that he did not turn in the money until it was paid in full. Which I think is wrong! I paid half up front for mine and than the last only after I saw pictures of it. Its a tuff call here, but I would be talking to Lowell ASAP!!!

RE: How to get a refund from Fly Eagle Jets?
Actually the other guy was refunded well before i put my enquiry hence i did it as the f18 was ready with the color scheme i wanted and could be shipped with in a week.....i still see no reason for delaying the reply.

RE: How to get a refund from Fly Eagle Jets?
Good luck getting help from Lowell. He was of no help to me. Maybe he'll show how nice of a guy he really is. 
Moving forward, the solution to these delays and problem planes is simple... stop buying the garbage.

RE: How to get a refund from Fly Eagle Jets?
If I spent that much on an FEJ and had no delivery I would make a trip to see them etc! I seriously find it rude that the reps are offering no help, at the end of the day they're begging you to buy a product and feeding you all the info you need but don't really need as you're being mislead

RE: How to get a refund from Fly Eagle Jets?
Well...I sent fej another email yesterday regarding my $6500 jet that is still a no show ...what a JOKE...
The employees there have obviously been told to lie and make excuses whenever someone complains..for 1 I was asking about a 1:6 f18 not a 1:7 f16...and for 2 , my builder received the same response 3 weeks ago stating at that time the model was 7 days from completion
Read this...lol

I ordered an FEJ 1:6 F-18 through my Builder (Jonathan Bard) back in October...the order was placed through Lowell Wexler on January 8th or 9th? and I have received a few emails through my builder that this jet was ready and was going to be shipped....but we STILL have not received any shipping info.
We were promised a delivery window of 8-10 weeks and as of today it has been 18 weeks ...I was waiting to see how the delivery of this jet went before ordering another one from you. At this point we have been given delivery promises that are just not being fulfilled and I would actually prefer a FULL refund for this jet. If this jet is not shipped this week I DEMAND that I get a full refund. I prefer to have this jet but I am sick of waiting for it..I refuse to wait any longer for this as I will buy another one that's already built and flying.
Please confirm that this jet will be shipped this week.
Thank you

RE: How to get a refund from Fly Eagle Jets?
Hey Anthony,
Its not just FEJ with poor customer service it's most of the Chinese suppliers.
I am up to the 15 week mark for a SM F16. And it doesn't even have to be painted as I ordered it in white gel coat.
I don't mind waiting if I'm given an accurate delivery date, but when they take 100% of your hard earned up front then drag it out- that's just plain disrespectful and rude.
In my business I am chasing *****holes who have owed me money for 15 weeks let alone getting it 15 weeks in advance.
I hope you situation is resolved one way or another soon.
Cheers
Levi

As some misleading information appears here,i have to get in to clarify as i'm the one to handle the order.We took 50% deposit instead of 100% when the order was confirmed with deposit 7 weeks ago.The production is still in schedule.We are going to finish it timely.As we didn't directly communicate on this order from beginning,please check at your side for any confustion.
Thank you for your patience any way.
Best regards
John

I have since been patient and being told 8-10 weeks from January wasn't that bad...well 18 weeks later lots of empty promises and no jet...aside from that I'm not sure I want the jet at all after reading about the quality issues .....I just don't understand why they think it's okay to NOT deliver an order on the terms they set...you're right...they SHOULD be held responsible for delivery dates..
they sure weren't shy about taking the payments...at this point I'd love to get a refund and walk away from FEJ once and for all...and go buy a Yellow F-18
Thanks for the info guys...

This was actually ordered through Lowell in the USA but it was paid for in cash....via Paypal
I was originally concerned about paying directly to FEJ for just that reason.

This happens to be one of those instances where it would be in the best interest not to make idle accusations about a situation you know little about. Both the builder and Anthony had a purchase agreement as mentioned.
How might I know this?...I am the builder.
I ask you kindly, to please keep the focus on the problem at hand and not something entirely innacurate.
Many Thanks,
Jon
I didn't make an "idle accusation". I was confirming that someone had either lied to or mislead Anthony into believing that his order had been placed in October, when he made the initial deposit, only to find out that the order was not placed until January, after his final payment for the kit. That is the initial problem point. Thats a 10-12 week delay which has added to his total time out of pocket on this project. My question is still, why the delay in the ordering of the kit? And why was Anthony led to believe the order was placed in October?

Ordering from a US dealer doesn't do anything to help customers.

RE: How to get a refund from Fly Eagle Jets?
I actually exchanged a few emails with FEJ this morning and they are now telling me the jet is ready to be shipped on May 26th ....I asked for a refund...then pictures to prove it was actually built.
this is the 3rd time we have been told it will be ready for shipment.
I also texted Lowell asking for a full refund as well.....let's see what happens...I am not holding my breath about a refund or delivery of the jet...
at this point I am SO completely sick of the lies and the excuses that I just want this over with...if they were more honest about the details and delivery dates it wouldn't be bad...but when you are told that it will be ordered with a 50% deposit..then hounded down for full payment because its nearing completion...only to find out that it was never ordered until fully paid for ...then waiting 18 weeks after that...
BS man...
I thought this jet was ordered for me last year
Hopefully this will help others who are thinking about buying from Fly Eagle......I will NEVER let this happen to me again...
