    My child received the Star Wars Mandalorian ********* 2ch Mini IR RC Helicopter as a gift this summer.The controller is missing a couple parts where the batteries go (see picture).I have tried contacting customer service via the website and never got a response. I then started calling the 877 number on the box. It always says that customer service is "not available". I've left a message with my phone number, but I never receive a call back.I would like replacement parts to make this toy usable.

    I ordered the *** unbreakable IR helicopter. I was going to send a review but I just read the first one and it's exactly my situation so I won't bother with to many details. It broke five minutes after my grandson was playing with it. they will not pay with the return shipping cost the shipping is almost as much as the purchase price. so this company is fraudulently advertising unbreakable helicopters. They know it's not worth the price to send it back. do not buy from this company. If they want to do right they can read this and send me my money back, I do not want a replacement of their fraudulently advertised breakable products my RMA number is 0103 HB23641 Thanks, ********************

    Bought a RC helicopter for grandson for Christmas, followed instructions on use. After turning on lights worked but no response from helio, instructions said change channel on remote, could not find information in instructions to change channel.researched all over the Internet no luck. Sent email to them, got response must be defective fill out information and must have copy of receipt or can not continue. All I asked was for them to explain what their own instruction sheet said to do.

    This company is a fraud. I purchased the *** ******** "Unbreakable IR" Helicopter for my grandson for Christmas. The battery was charged and the *** ******** "Unbreakable IR" Helicopter flew into the air landing and the floor and broke. Mind you on their advertising they're is a kid standing on the Rex Hercules "Unbreakable IR" Helicopter as proof that it was unbreakable. I emailed the company on the same day and didn't get a response until I contacted the ***. The do not answer phones. They had the nerve to finally send me a return shipping address, which I have to pay for and stated
    " We apologize, but as stated above in the RMA form "Items that have been opened and used are not eligible for a refund." We will need you to send back the items for fixing and once we receive the items we can place a replacement order for you.

    Best,
    Customer Service"

    I had issues with my Mandalorian Baby Yoda drone right out of the box.

    Like so many others, I tried contacting support with no response. I tried emailing two different emails provided: one bounced back and the other got no response. I called the number several times and left a voicemail with no response. This has been about a month at this point. I'm surprised they even advertise customer service when it doesn't even exist.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    They are not taking responsibility and providing a replacement part. The item was redeemed from our local bowling alley and was redeemed with points that my son saved for two ******* from their game room. It was a NEW item in their redemption shop. Are they going to replace the part or not?


    Sincerely,

    We have not sold or manufactured this product for many years and unfortunately, we do not have replacement parts to send. Please return to place of purchase as this could not have been a new item they are selling. I do apologize for any inconvenience.
