This is all so strange to me. I guess I got incredibly lucky. Decided to get one on or about 12/27. Somebody posted that BuiltDrones in Florida had them, and I snapped at it. Got a flymore about a week or so later.
The technology is just unreal, particularly for older people like myself, who went through school with a typewriter. DJI is clearly overwhelmed with worldwide demand. This little website represents just a piece of what is out there. They will catch up. That having been said, they do not appear to have 'western' sensibilities about how customers should be treated. It is a chinese company, with eastern sensibilities. This is not surprising. What did anybody expect?
My latest email from DJI:
Dear DJI Customer,
Thank you for your recent DJI Store purchase.
Our sincerest apologies for the previous order update email, stating that your Mavic Pro order would ship within the month of March 2017. Unfortunately, this information was incomplete.
Due to the upcoming Chinese New Year holidays, we have encountered unforeseen logistical problems and your Mavic Pro order may be delayed further.
However, we are doing our best and are happy to confirm that all Mavic Pro drones will ship
before February 10th, based on a first-come, first-served basis.
Mavic Pro orders with accessories will be split and we will ship the Mavic Pro
before February 10th with accessories (currently unavailable) shipping later.
Again, our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused by this delay.
We will be in touch with you during February with more details. When your order ships, we will send you an email with a specific delivery date and tracking information.
