Drones Direct

Established in 2011 as ProFlight-UK, Drones Direct has grown to become the UK's largest online retailer of drones and drone accessories. The company is part of the Buy It Direct Group, which began trading in 1999 from a small shop in Huddersfield and has since grown into a major e-commerce operation. Drones Direct experts have advised, built, and supplied drones and accessories to businesses and hobbyists around the UK since 2011. With the country's most extensive collection, they've become the go-to destination for remote control aircraft technology, training, and aerial photography or videography services. The company features a showroom with a purpose-built Drone Zone where customers can see demonstrations and test products. This hands-on experience sets Drones Direct apart from purely online competitors, allowing customers to make informed decisions on significant purchases. As part of the Buy It Direct group (which includes Appliances Direct, Laptops Direct, and Furniture 123), Drones Direct benefits from substantial infrastructure - employing over 1,000 people across more than 1,000,000 sq. ft of warehouse space. Combined group turnover exceeds £200m annually, providing stability and buying power. All orders ship from the UK with no hidden costs, and in-stock items are available for next day delivery. Unlike some competitors, they don't have shareholders, allowing them to focus on customer deals rather than investor returns. They offer 50-day returns and 0% interest on orders over £99.
