Do any companies offer an exchange service so that I buy a modified remote with an upgraded antenna and send them my old one after I get theirs? That way I wouldnt have to be without one for 2 weeks?

Presumably you have a P4P since that's where you are posting this question. If that's true, try flying with 5.8ghz AUTO with a windsurfer on your antennas. You can get over 4miles, limited by battery. You must have LOS connection to get this distance, no trees or mountains between the RC and the craft. I really don't see any need to buy an antenna upgrade with P4P, unless you have a battery mod to get more flight time.
If you have a P4, or P4A, completely different story. Call Jake at Maxx UAV.

I dunno I see a lot of people say this but where I'm at as soon as I pass 12,000 ft things start getting flaky , video goes out first and I refuse to keep flying blind even if I know there's nothing in front of me that's the reason I bought a boosted antenna, I've yet to receive it back and try it , my fingers are crossed .
I have this set Amazon.com: SKYREAT Copper Parabolic Antenna Signal Range Booster for DJI Phantom 4/4 Pro/Phantom 3 Pro/Advanced/4k/ Inspire 1 Controller Transmitter Signal Extender (2 Pcs): Electronics
and it helps a little but I cant get more than 6500ft in my neighborhood.

Really, I'm just curious. I can definitely see getting a range booster with electrical interference problems. I can also see getting one to get out a little to get some good pictures. I live in the country and have flown my p3s 7400 ft. over forest to a nearby peak. That seemed like a long way out to me. Where you live that sounds like a really good distance. Is that your distance in the city? If so, your distance in a less populated area will be a lot father.
I bought the same one I gained some but not enough that I'm limited by the battery
It's way cheaper to have someone modify your existing remote or to do it yourself , No ?
I met a guy awhile back where I flew. He moded his Phantom, and would stick antenna's on his car's roof and sit in his car while he flew. Seems super luxurious to me, and as time has gone by, I've become more jealous of his set up.
