That's simply not true. DJI USA has stated that they will use their best efforts to facilitate the 1 year warranty from the U.S. for all Adorama sales by sourcing the necessary refurbs from DJI Canada, entirely at their expense, and any pilot caused damage repairs will be charged based upon their repair estimate. It's not a guarantee, because the Customs holds are still delaying shipments, but they are doing their level best to help! If one doesn’t make it through, they'll ship another. Just don't expect a normal 10 day turnaround. Might take 60 days.
