On a Facebook thread a company called Carolina Dronz had to tell it's customers that they shouldn't expect delivery till end of January at earliest. They got told by dji that they are still having production problems and cant meet the orders.
I think it's about time Jessops has sent us a follow up email and stop telling us we will get the Mavic for Christmas because at this stage that's a lie.
This was the message that Carolina Dronz sent it's customers:
To Our Valued Customers,
With Christmas fast approaching, we at Carolina Dronz know that all of our Mavic Pro pre-order customers are hungry for updates on their order status.
We have received an update from DJI regarding our Mavic Pro order. Unfortunately, this update does not provide us with good news. In keeping
with our policy to always be honest with you, we feel it is extremely important
to relay what we have been told.
Our shipment of Mavic Pro units has again been delayed. This time, we are being told that DJI is still not at full production and cannot fulfill all of the orders they have received as they initially expected. Our order will not likely ship until late January at the earliest.
This situation puts us in the worst possible position as a retailer. We are still at the mercy of the manufacturer, DJI in this case. We cannot apologize enough for this, and all of the previous delays. Thus far, you have all been very patient and we appreciate that. However, this delay will likely stretch patience to the point of breaking, which we fully understand. We would encourage you to bear with us during this very trying time if you can.
While there is no real substitute for the Mavic Pro, we can't send out an email with nothing but bad news. With that in mind, any of you who have pre-ordered the Mavic Pro and no longer wish to wait, we will give you a $100 discount on your choice of the following units if you decide to switch:
DJI Phantom 3 Advanced
DJI
Phantom 4 Pro
Autel X-Star Premium
Autel X-Star Standard
Yuneec Typhoon H
We also want to extend a 50% discount on our two exclusive Mavic cases to those who wish to hold out for the Mavic Pro shipment.
Again, we know how disappointing this news is for everyone. We hope that our offer above will show you that, while this situation is out of our control, we care about our customers and ultimately want you all of be happy with our service. We are terribly sorry for this inconvenience. Thank you all for your continued patience and support
was told new date is after 17th January. said they were still trying to clear orders from the beginning of October. So That's over a 3 month wait for me then, a quarter of a year for delivery......
