Process

  1. Contact RMUS Sales Department at sales@rmus.ca for an RMUS Public Safety Fleet Renewal Program RMA number. Existing RMUS customers, please reference past orders as we will ensure existing customers get top trade-in value for equipment. RMUS Sales Associates will communicate the details of the equipment evaluation/trade-in value when you receive the RMA number.
  2. Decommission your UAS by cancelling you FAA and/or N number(s). Also remove any sensitive flight information or data from the aircraft. If you would like to save your flight records, go into your DJI account and sync them to the DJI cloud.
  3. Ship the equipment back to RMUS, with the RMA number labeled on the outside of the box.
  4. Please do not include any batteries in your shipment! Please take them to a recycling center or other certified battery disposal location.
  5. Once we assess/confirm the trade-in value, our Sales Associates reach out to you and let you know the trade-in credit that will applied to your purchase.
 

FAQs

 
What does RMUS do with all the equipment traded-in?
Our DJI Certified Technicians will inspect the equipment to determine if it can be refurbished, broken down into spare parts or even disposed of entirely. Refurbished equipment and/or spare parts will be donated to UAS education programs or other charitable organizations.
 
What if we need to use the aircraft until our new aircraft arrives?
Please start the return process with our RMUS Sales Department per the above instructions. RMUS Sales Associates will walk you through the process, which includes photographs and/or short videos to confirm the status/trade-in value of the UAS. We ask you promptly ship the trade-in UAS once the new UAS package arrives.
 
What do I do with additional accessories?
To keep things simple, we are only offering trade-in values for the aircraft and remote.   If you’d like to send additional items to RMUS, we can pass those along as donations or retire them responsibly if they are deemed unsafe.
 
Why is RMUS doing this?
We have been the pioneers of providing UAS equipment to Public Safety entities. There have been significant improvements to safety and technology in the new equipment and we want to give our customers the opportunity to have a salvage value for outdated and out-of-service aircraft. 
 
What if I have a non-DJI drone?
We can accept those also.
 
What do I do with the batteries?
Please take them to a recycling center or other certified battery disposal location.
