DJI Mavic Pro - A chinese vendor said he got ready stock, how to verify ?

[networth]

Im from india.
Few days back a vendor from Shenzhen emailed me go for Xiaomi Camera, and I asked him whether he stocks DJI or not and asked him for DJ Mavic Pro, since I need it urgently.

He said, DJI has no stock all over the world, and now after 1 month, he emailed yesterday night that DJI has released 300 stock in shenzhen and he can get the box for me in next 2 days and I need to pay him 1317 USD.

So, how do authenticate his statement ?

Is there a way, we can verify the serial code of the box before the purchase to make sure, its a legitimate one and not a knock-off ?

Im just being careful here, as its my hard earned money, which I dont want to get wasted.

So, what do now ?

Shall I ask him for the box pics and the serial number picture ?

I have a friend in shenzhen who will go and pick up the box from the vendor directly, after I verify things.

Is there any official DJI employee here, who can help me verify please ?

I don't think anyone is making copies, most Chinese sellers are perfectly legitimate but the question is if they really have them ready to go out or are 'expecting delivery' same as everyone else.
Pay by Credit card and if nothing is sent in a month or so you can get refund.

If there are any problems with it getting warranty repair will be tricky.
It's safest to buy direct from DJI or from a more local dealer.

He is local dealer of DJI, he says.
He said, he can show me the box and serial code on monday morning.

Can I verify with someone officially before paying him for it ?
