This is exactly what is happening. I made a post in another thread earlier eluding to this. I purchased on July 30th from K-Wave while they were still offering a 10% discount. Their eBay listing indicated that they had 7 left. I received a message from K-Wave later that evening stating that they had a surge of orders and that it would take about a week to get them in stock and that it would arrive some time between August 12th - 19th. I then checked every Mavic 4 Pro Creator Combo listing, including sellers from Japan, and they ALL had the exact same shipping time frame.Ok it sounds like the South Koreans are stumbling (probably due to the much increased volume) and it looks like the Japanese sellers are on the rise since there are so many more new sellers from Japan but their prices are a bit higher.
I sent a message to K-Wave telling them that I really need to know when I should realistically expect to receive it and they said no later than August 13th. I just received a message from K-Wave again stating the following.
We expect to ship the product by this week, at the latest by next week. Once dispatched, the product will take about 3–4 days to arrive.
This is still within the time frame that they originally stated.
