To give Holy Stone credit, they have good customer service. I bought one of their crappier models when I was first exploring the quadcopter marketplace a few years ago. They did the usual thing of proactively emailing and asking for a review after a few days, but then actually replied to my email rant about quality control with suggestions to debug the issue. Finally, once I'd crashed it one too many times and destroyed it, they sent me a new drone free of charge. I suspect they're probably doing similar to anybody who leaves a bad rating in order to groom their listings.
(Don't get me wrong - their customer service doesn't make up for their poor products. Never buy a drone with injection molded frames, since they're not serviceable. Carbon fiber with replaceable frame parts all the way.)
- paulgb 8y agoI've had something similar happen (with another product). I think it's the flip side of fake reviews that people don't consider: you might be able to fake your way to five stars with a new product, but keeping it actually requires a decent product and being responsible to unsatisfied customers (usually with one of those "contact us directly if you have any concerns" cards in the box)
- smt88 8y agoTheir reviews inevitably tank, so they start selling the same product under a new brand.
