PiroFlip, AKA PryoDrone ( https://pyrodrone.com/ ), has a good selection of quality items, ships fast, has great tracking, and friendly staff. I have been extremely pleased with my purchases from this vendor. USA, Southern California.

I bought my radio at

Great online shop, had very good experiences ordering

This shop sometimes has stock that no one else has like my Radiomaster. Fast dispatch.

I was also going to mention King Quad Shop... I've used their Ebay shop a few times.

Plus Flying Tech https://www.flyingtech.co.uk/

I didn't see Race Day Quads in the original list but wanted to give them a big shout out for their Customer Service. I purchased 4 brand new motors in September intending to use them on a new build. I didn't get around to starting the build until just a couple weeks ago. While finishing things up I noticed one of the motors was "sticking" as if I was using too long of a mounting screw, which I wasn't. Long story short, the motor manufacturer declined to replace the motor because it had "been too long", so RDQ's replaced it themselves. THAT is the definition of good customer service.

So THANK YOU RDQ!

+1 on RDQ! Plus, they're leading the charge against the FAA: https://www.gofundme.com/f/savefpv 
For that reason alone I have been doing as much of my ordering from them as possible, and rounding up my orders as a donation to the cause.

RaceDayQuads (I’ve used then for two years)

Pyrodrone (a few times, great every time)  <HERE> My #1    Excellent: website, inventory, shipping, service and refunds 
GetFPV (good prices, pretty good overall) <HERE> My #3  Very Good: less inventory, but good shipping, service is ok, but not stellar. 
Flywoo (great prices, slow shipping) <HERE> I have ordered direct 1 time, received in about 3 weeks, no issues. I would use again.

Cyclone FPV  <HERE> I have ordered from them a few times with no issues; there selection is more limited than others.

The following are more specialty vendors with quality products in their offerings, but limited selection of items:

FPV Cycle  <HERE> Very Good: Used several times with NO issues. Specialty vendor with very limited inventory; focus on Ultralight toothpick.
AirBlade  <HERE> Very Good: Used several times with NO issues: They are mostly frames so inventory is quite limited.
TomoQuads <HERE> Very Good: Used several times with NO issues. Inventory limited to frames and frame parts.
Tiny's LED  <HERE>  Used once, no issues. Has some good quality unusual items; limited inventory.

I have also used the following manufacturer/vendors directly with no issues and good service:

GEPRC <HERE> Used several times; good website, pretty good ship times (2-3 weeks) but ok outside USA. Never had any issues.
BrotherHobby <HERE> Used 1 time for motors that I could not get elsewhere; they are on par with GEPRC for shipping.
EMAX <HERE> Used 1 time; about the same as GEPRC and BrotherHobby.

Finally, a General Merchandise vendor the we use all the time for just about everything from general use items to vitamins and some food products and gifts. We do have the Prime service which is a small monthly fee, but almost all of the shipping is free and fast; most things arrive in about 2-4 days. In my opinion, we are ahead on the shipping considering the amount of product that we buy. 

AMAZON  <HERE>  Excellent   ...if it is sold on AMAZAON, I will generally buy it there. 
                     The shipping, service, and refund policy is Second to None, period   

                     The only minor {for me} downsides are that the cost may be a little higher,
                     the searches are pretty broad so you have to weed though to find what you want, and               
                     they don't have everything.


Even though I live in Florida, USA, I have received orders from China within a few weeks, less than a month. I am actually sort of surprised. Yes, that is a longer time than the US vendors. My orders are generally received within a week to 10 days. I have been satisfied with every vendor that I have used and would order from ANY one of them again without hesitation. 

At this point, I have NEVER used Banggood, Alibaba, or Aliexpress. 

Banggood is on my DO NOT BUY  list. I have heard too many Horror stories so it simply is not worth the risk for me.
