Bad Omen For Air 3S and Future US Sales

[GadgetGuy]

Just read this today in an email from Drone Launch Academy:

"For those wondering about the current state of affairs, there's some interesting background. DJI drone shipments were temporarily held up at U.S. customs due to human rights concerns. However, recent reports indicate that these shipments are now being released, which is good news for drone enthusiasts."

Maybe, the holds are over!

However, in the YT video associated with it, he states the current date is November 27th, so his "recent reports" aren't that recent, and may very well be wrong!

Time will tell!

I got ripped off by B+H years ago and wouldn't order from them again anyway. They charged me for an upgraded battery that didn't exist with a still camera. I had to go the cc company about it.

ADORAMA Has the AIR 3s in stock!

Just got my Fly more Combo about a week ago!

The facts, based upon our members reports here, are that Customs is placing holds on some or all of DJI aircraft currently being shipped into the U.S.

Don’t know about right now, but upon release it was actually only a handful of cases in the entire nation. Most people, like myself, received their drones with no issues whatsoever.

Yes, it started after the first few were received, and eventually choked them all. However, DJI seems to have overcome the issues and the "misunderstandings" appear to be getting resolved, thankfully! Fingers crossed that the pipeline is restored. We want our DJI drones!

Glad I fly recreational and kept my “crappy” old Air 2.

 

[HoozierDroneDaddy]

Kept my Mavic 2 Pro, Air 2s, and Mavic 3 Pro. Plenty of batteries for all three. Happy with all three drones.

Is the a postal strike going on in Canada?

Yes, there is…

 

[Rchawks]

I'm waiting on an order that's why I was wondering.

If you ordered from a Canadian supplier, I would very much doubt they would have sent it via Canada Post /USPS. It might be worth a call to them, however.

New Arrival! Yay!

Yeah all the Air 3S drone kits at Adorama are tagged with this:

On Backorder
Expected Availability: 02/2025

I'm told the strike is just packages and flats are still going through.
They picked a perfect time for a package strike. But they might be biting themselves in the arse.

Actually, if B&H can't get any of them, and DJI can't get them past U.S. Customs, except temporarily through Canada, it means availability in the U.S. is severely restricted, if not nonexistent. Best Buy and Amazon and other U.S. resellers aren't be able to get them either.

Also B&H never drop shipped any Air 3S's. It is not "will no longer ship."
They never received any at all.

My 3s arrived from DJI without a glitch over a month ago. At that time there were several who had their's stopped at customs, including Ken Domo's. It seems like the problem with those orders is that they were coming from the port of entry in Miami. Here on the west coast, the drones that came through Los Angeles had no issues.

Order from China then your package never arrives because of customs...

Supposedly that has happened according to a few users on the FB DJI forum.

 

[Paul Stocum]

Why not order direct from DJI website?

 

[bkushner]

Have you been living under a rock? Because they can’t make delivery everybody’s having custom holes.

Apparently.
