Buyer FAQ
Should I ask these questions even from the Unitree Official Store?v
Yes. The store can be official and the buyer can still choose the wrong variant. The goal is to confirm the exact SKU, support level, freight terms, and warranty record before paying.
What is the most important question for developers?v
Ask whether the exact quote includes secondary development support. If the listing says No Secondary Development Supported, treat it as demo-only and ask for G1 EDU, R1 EDU, or Go2 EDU.
Why keep everything inside AliExpress chat?v
AliExpress dispute review is easier when the seller's promises, variant confirmation, shipping terms, and warranty statements are visible inside the platform.
