Price increase?

[Nik Mellough]

Well that's a bit harsh as Apple have done the same and they're the biggest company in the world....

That reflect more poorly on Apple than it does possitivly on DJI.

Ok - Microsoft and others... Unilever etc...
most companies operate on a 10% roughy net profit ... so if you are losing 15% on a currency shift in a particular territory - then you have to increase your prices....

It's simple economics and nothing to do with a companies management or how big it is....

You can only blame the currency rate .... and for that you can blame the instability and uncertainty over the UK economy (even if it's only in the short term - hopefully)

Some retailers have the old price at least for now e.g. Jessops but on pre-order.

Sterling plummets, GB imports are more expensive, exports are cheaper. Hoist by your own petard, Brexiters...

Supermarket prices havent risen, so the currency cant surely be the only thing to blame..

 

[Alex Baxter]

Food is generally sourced within Britain, so prices will be unaffected, imported goods will get pricier..

Ummm ok - so you didn't hear about Unilever and Marmite gate??

Also supermarkets and other retailers still have stock at older pricing.
Many would tell you prices HAVE gone up... haven't you noticed the petrol prices? Oil priced in $ ... so pound per litre goes up...
read the biz papers - big fear of inflation...

£1099 DJI website for non combo. I don`t know how they can put the price up like that except xmas, plenty of sales and because they can! Brexit doesn`t factor except as a lame excuse.

I know how.....it's called GREED.

Really?? Good grief
If it was greed - why hasn't every territory been raised and not Just the U.K.???

The Pro's far outweigh the Con's.
Sterling will recover. A temp increase in exchange rate based prices is a small price to pay.

You may be right... but people need to stop blaming DJI for UK price increases!

By the way - how long is "temporary"?

You're right, it is nothing to do with DJI other than exchange rate and them wanting the same money in the bank for their product.

How long is temporary? Shorter than 'Permanent'.

$999 dollars equals around £800 pounds so if the truth be out DJI were skanking UK customers in the first place even allowing for the addition of %20 vat.. and relatively speaking they still are.. he he

DJI just did a straight dollar for pound swap.. the swap worked out in their favour.. it would seem now the exchange rate makes the straight dollar for pound swap more realistic it seem they aint happy and want a bit more..

being as demand currently massively exceeds supply i expect dJI to do the obvious thing and jack up prices all round..

i ordered my favic directly from china.. the paypal conversion at 1.22 or close worked out at £804 pounds for the $999 dollar price.. the exchange rate now is over 1.26 and likely to go higher.. so for us to get the same deal as the US we would be talking £800 quid plus %20 vat.. this would still be less than £999.. about £960 to be close.. certainly not £1100 or a quid short of that

i dont really care that DJI have jacked up UK prices but lets not molly-coddle them too much..

even before brexit.. the nice sounding 999 figure would still probably have been used..

as for UK retailers.. they pay what they pay and the selling price is up to them.. again they have no reason to be overly price competitive.. expect to see them collect a bit more profit as well..

Plus US state sales tax ranging from 2.9% to 9.75% depending on State.

 

[Ozz]

Amazon.co.uk are still 999 pounds - plus if anything is wrong with it wrong they have postage paid free return shipping.
Just make seller is Amazon, not third party for best buyer protection.

No flymore combo pack left though.

Good old import duties account for the rest, I think.

[Alex Baxter]
