I had a similar experience with my Mavic 3. It took me a while to figure out it wasn’t the drone, but the wind at 300’ was obviously much stronger than where I was standing. Good thing RTH had 25%. I needed all of it. I could hear the motors fighting, loosing. After panicking, 😂 I tried to go...

No only DHL contacted me, I did everything through them. I think on one of the notifications they mentioned if I don’t supply the necessary information by a certain date the package would be shipped back to DJI. I took care of it the same day. It’s not a clear procedure at all, you have to...

My early morning before coffee rant. Doesn’t this seem more political than criminal? Is DJI being scapegoated? Everyone knows China uses slave labor camps to build stuff western countries buy —furniture, fabric, clothing, electronics, 8o% of the world’s solar panels & components. They skirt...

The key point edmartin123 makes is to use the text chat option to communicate with DHL. They’re much more responsive to chat. Literally one chat session got my 3S delay escalated, and they promised an update in 3 hrs max. They kept their word, found the “issue”, we resolved it and the drone was...

Exactly right. That’s what helped me the most. After a 4 day delay, DHL says I’ll have by the end of today.

OMG… let there be light — still no delivery date, but it’s only an 8 hr drive to my house, 😂 Thursday, October 24, 2024 24 Shipment has departed from a DHL facility LOS ANGELES GATEWAY - USA LOS ANGELES GATEWAY - California - USA 5:43 PM 1 Pieces

I wouldn’t call it a nightmare, but it certainly has been frustrating. I just received, after 4 days of hassling DHL daily (they’ve been helping) and finally provided CBP with acceptable proof of my identity, address, SS#: “Notification for shipment event group "Customs clearance" for 24 Oct...

“Notification for shipment event group "Customs clearance" for 24 Oct 24.” 👍🏻🤞🏻🙏🏻 Halle-fricken-lujah

Agree it doesn’t seem to be terribly widespread, but if it affects you (like me), it’s been very frustrating…

That’s so odd. DHL delivers in AZ everyday, including DJI drones shipped from China, without a 3rd party involved. Weird. I congratulate you for getting it through customs, you’re ahead of me!

Me neither, lost it decades ago. Go to the SSA website, they try to convince you not to get a paper replacement before applying for one! If you know your number, why get one somebody could steal? So, I never did. Can they please tell that to CBP ….. today?

I don’t think you need the form, you need to provide DHL, who will give to CBP, a document providing your name, address and SS#. Copies of the top of your 1040, w/o financials works. SS card, or W-2 works. Black out financials. I don’t have these (long story, 😂), so I tried another document...

Great! Unfortunately, all I have is a digital client copy of my 1040, and it has the SS# XXXXXX. I lost my card decades ago. When you apply for a replacement, SSA practically pleads with you not to get one, you really don’t need a physical card, 😂 So, I never got one. I THINK I provided...

My Air 3S has been stuck in Los Angeles Customs since Saturday October 19th. DHL customer service said CBP REQUIRES verification of my complete contact details, my SS number, and intended use of the product. The Government already knows most of this, but I must verify everything! DHL said the...

That area is so beautiful, great lighting in the pic!
