I just got off the phone with these people.... I told them I placed a order for a mavic and have received absolutely jack besides an email on the 28th, where they said:
"my name is Graham N:
Thank you for contacting the Sales Department at B&H Photo Video and Pro Audio.
At the moment the end of October is still the estimated delivery time frame. However due to the popularity of the Mavic if you have not placed your pre-order then you will have to wait a few more weeks for the next shipment.
Please let me know if you require any further assistance.
Thank you for choosing B&H.
Graham N"
I then asked him what is their current status, and he said "I don't know, I'm very sorry"
Well when are you expecting a shipment of any kind? "I'm sorry we are in a total black out with the manufacture and we have no idea when we will receive stock, I'm very sorry"
Ok, are all retailers in the same boat is y'all or what? "I do not know, I'm very sorry, is there anything I can help you with?"
This is a total joke.... This dude literally sounded like he was trained to say "I do no know anything about nothing, and oh yea.... that he is very sorry"
The fact that a major retailer is in a 'total black out' with the manufacture is unbelievable. You can't tell me they haven't gone through the effort of calling, much less emailing DJI to question where their $100K+ shipment of product is. If they have, then they at least know whats going on or when to expect.... And are telling their employee's to keep the customers in the dark. If they truly HAVE NOT contacted DJI, then that is just horrific business on B&H's fault for non-other than trying to find out for their own $$$'s sake or for the sake of their customers.
Sorry, /rant off
