    Morocco, do NOT take your drone

    Update: After mailing, chatting and calling with too many departments within DJI, they have finally answered my questions: No replacement under DJI Care Refresh, but I expected that to be the case. Not possible to get a new Mavic without paying for import tax and VAT. Not possible to register a...

    Morocco, do NOT take your drone

    Yes. But I didn't ask for a reduced price or a replacement under warranty perse. At least hoping to avoid imports and VAT. Would be nice if DJI considers this to be "pilot error" though ;-)

    Morocco, do NOT take your drone

    Thank you for your sympathy! I did ask if that was an option, but it wasn't. They were easygoing and helpful though, rushing me through so that we wouldn't miss our flight.

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

    Depends if the shipping company flies directly into Singapore. Maybe yours is shipped by boat.. ;) I think DHL flies from China to Leipzig, Germany. Then it will go by road to the Netherlands where it ends up in a local distribution centre. That roadtrip adds a day..
