Mine is preparing while on backorder lol.... 10/24 order here...

GadgetGuy · Nov 30, 2016

Mine changed from "Get it by November 29th" to

Your item(s) will fulfill by WED 12/21 but we cannot not guarantee it will arrive by Christmas

Same. Mine keeps switching from Backorder to in progress all day. Really does feel like they are messing with us lol.

It doesn't mean much. It goes between that and the backorder status periodically

Wholagan · Nov 30, 2016

Apparently if it stays in "backorder" for more than 2 weeks it automatically cancels. So it will switch between the 2 so it doesn't drop your order.

Do you think it needs to do this multiple times per day? I haven't seen a single change from back order status since this morning at 4am.

Like everything else with this whole ordeal, I haven't the slightest idea. I read in the BB forums this is what they do. Mine has gone back and forth all day.

Kind of like kiting checks, until they get caught!

I doubt the rep who answered the phone knows anymore than you or I do. I hope I'm wrong, but I never trust anything I am told by them, unless there is a tracking number verifiable by the courier that is shipping it.

I stopped by BB this evening, and the Mavic in store display is an empty shelf, with a sign still saying "Coming soon." YMMV.

Depending on when everyone ordered I would not cancel just yet if I were you. I ordered from Best Buy on 9-28-16 and it showed up this morning.

Geez, DJI direct orders show up faster than that.

Well, they told me that as soon as the courier picks it up, i will get a tracking number, so hopes up....

That's always the case.

I hope they aren't yanking your chain.
Mine has been in Preparation for a month now!

an e Lester · Dec 1, 2016

now i went from dec 21 to the 5th!

Wholagan · Dec 1, 2016

My awaiting authorization has dropped off my 10/23 order and gives me a date of deliver by 12/8. I won't believe anything until it says shipped.

Nope... i just got hosed, they moved my shipping date to 12/20 now ...

Stoph787 · Dec 1, 2016

For all of you that are having your dates move around are you seeing this on your order status page? Mine currently just has backorder and not date. Do you have something different?

Been this way since yesterday morning. Did you change your shipping speed or anything? I have been hesitant to make any changes as the rep told me it should be shipped out by the 5th too. Just wondering if all my calling has put this order further back. I also lost the cash back I had from another site since it went on back order.
