Pre-order and Shipping Times - Who Will Get the Mavic First?

[Moscowice]

Just a thought...

I hope DJI is having production issues because if the lied to underwhelm Karma, than it's a dirty move.

They also charged me full amount at the time of the order, if a company does this knowingly, then we have to part ways.

If so, then as soon as someone makes anything remotely good as Mavic, my brand loyalty will switch.

The anticipation on the Mavic is absolutely overwhelming, it´s palpable! Reminds me the pre-release of Star Wars VII - I just hope without the frustration experienced afterwards!!! LOL

Of course they did all this to kill the Karma, it´s pretty obvious. This is big corporation basics, happens all the time. It´s also obvious they believe in the Mavic being so superior that once it starts shipping and ppl flying it, all the frustration will vanish in no time and everyone will be all smiles again, looking like kids on Xmas morning.

Just think of the people who ordered on ebay and Amazon from those shady resellers, to only receive a brochure in the box. (so the reseller could show shipped, and charge cc).

My order is still with DJI. If it gets delayed too much more I will probably switch to Best Buy so I have someone to deal with I trust and easy return if broken.

yeah but it's not like Karma is allowing pre-orders and it's due next week.

The fall out from DJI's screw-ups of their delay announcement may provide enough entertainment to get me through to the actual ship date in November.

Even though the Karma is basically a flying potato, GoPro has a good history of having stuff available when they say its going to be available. Not that I want one.

Just got an email from Advexure with an actual update on the shipping delay..not just DJI's BS where they say they are providing an update and dont actually provide any helpful information..so typical of DJI and that's why I never deal with them directly. Very disappointing to see the "global director of communication" with such poor business communication skills. Thanks Advexure for the update...very professional. DJI could learn from you guys.

Yes I want my Mavic but waiting is a hell of lot easier when you know what's going on..I guess I'm happy DJI isn't rushing this out

Yep, just got the same email from Advexure. Super happy with them so far (my first purchase from them). Pretty confident that I'll end up hearing updates from them before DJI, which is kind of funny.

Thank you for the kind words and continued support, @jowens @Broker. We hope that we'll have some good news for everyone waiting very soon! Thank you again for your patience.

Got an email today from DJI, I wonder now when they plan to ship ?

Dear Customers,

We said at our Mavic Pro launch event that we would begin shipping in
mid-October. We’ve just passed that, and if you’re wondering where your
Mavic Pro is, we’d like to offer an update.

Since unveiling the Mavic Pro, we’ve had amazingly strong global demand. Production is in full swing, and we will be fulfilling orders as fast as we can.
If you have a DJI customer account, we’ll be sending you updates,
or you can check for new information in our online store http://store.dji.com/product/mavic-pro.

We thank you for your enthusiasm and patience and for being a DJI customer.

Best,
Adam Najberg
Global Director of Communication
DJI

I think its time to take a chill pill..
for me it can wait..
I sold my P3A on announcement day at a loss...yes, i miss it..and my friend is having fun with my perfectly fine P3, but when it comes down to it..
I will have a Mavic, and I am guessing soon.
DJI store via Amazon currently says pre order now, arrive Nov 22-Dec 8
That is for orders taken as of now..
So it will still be here by Christmas, and 2017 everyone will have one..
But I should have mine sometime in 2016
And I don't want a Karma

100% in agreement with you. I didn't explain my thought corrrctly, I meant to say if they made an empty promise to hurt GoPro, that's fine, business is business but by charging me for the product they don't intend to send in due time, my funds become collateral damage in DJI war agains GoPro. I do not agree with that

The list was just updated. Still no word when shipping starts.

 

[MavicPro]

I called Dji and talked. He told me everyone that ordered between sept 27th to oct 12 would of be considered the first batch and shipping will take place between oct 25th to 30th. The way he made it sound was that everyone who is in the First batch would have theirs shipped between that time.

Just got this from Newegg...says it's slated to ship 10/31 vs their initial 10/25 quote.

Who did you speak with?

 

[edison]

When I spoke to my supplier, they told me that they believed DJI were waiting for a good stock level in the UK before supplying to all dealers... they didn't want to let down other tier 1 suppliers by not being able to supply to all of them at the same time. So to make it fair they are pushing back the delivery slightly until there is a good global stock level for the roll out.

got this from Newegg. not the end of the world, at least Newegg passed on what they had.

Man, the PR statement from Adam Najberg on the shipping status page is so frustratingly useless that I'd rather just see an endless 'Pending'... it's actually less annoying.

 

[leenanj]

All of the dealers are just passing on info DJI originally told them when they might receive product.

Even DJI is giving out estimated shipping dates at this point.

So what if there off by a few weeks, what can you do, sue them! LOL

The Karma looks to be an incredible drone, it just happened to unfortunately come out at the same time as the Mavic. It's still got the nice gimbal.
