If this listing goes away fast I won't be surprised.

Amazon has been good about refunds for non delivery so I pulled the trigger (on my second Mini 4 Pro)
I just purchased the same, basic, combo a couple months age for $1150.

A RC2 controller cost well over $200.
Extra batteries cost $85 each
Replacement drone cost $750-800

Looks like a scam. I looked at who the seller was....22% positive ratings. Not worth the risk/hassle.
I don't understand. How/why does Amazon allow a seller other than DJI to have "Visit the DJI Store" link at the top of their listing? The seller certainly doesn't look to be DJI.

I hear you.
They're also offering a DJI Mavic 3 Pro for $1300

They say if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
But, as I said, Amazon has been good about refunding when stuff doesn't arrive.

BTW, I reported that seller as sketchy to Amazon, and asked the same thing about the "Visit the DJI Store" link.
 
First update.
The item is marked as shipped in Amazon tracking.
But it says it's coming "China Post".
I've never seen China post deliver a package the size of the Mini 4 combo.

I see $1,699 -- More like the real deal..
Scammers never stop trying because someone is always buying :rolleyes:

Yup, now it shows $1,699 for me as well. At least on my phone which isn't logged into Amazon. I will check on my laptop later.
Which is far more than I paid for my other one a couple months ago.

I paid $1159.00 for mine about 2 weeks ago. If it looks too good.........

No updates as far as I know of. I just checked Amazon and her is what I found which is what I pad for less- e.g.:
mine did not include landing pad, carry case, etc.

The update is it looks like Amazon got scammed.
The tracking still shows it was shipped but no movement through the systems.
Of course it's China Post so it may not show progress through their system.
Amazon still shows it will be delivered by Friday.

I exchanged multiple messages with a Chinese seller advertising a M3P for 1300 a few days ago. They were extremely quick to respond until I asked them about return policies, at which point they went silent. When I sent a repeat request a day later the seller was no longer in Amazon. So this is almost certainly a scam.

My advice to the OP - if you receive a package, which is probable, film every second of you opening the package, inspecting the drone, flying the drone, etc. The most likely scam is that they send you a package with the correct box and weight and inside is either a fake drone or just a bag of stones. Unless you film everything the seller can claim to Amazon that you received the correct package and you will be out of your cash.

I had already set a plan in place if something arrives (which I suspect won't happen).
I have a camera pointed at my driveway and on my porch so it can track deliveries.
Before I leave my work, I check my order. If it showed up, I will not even take it inside. I'll open it on the porch in front of the same camera that's been watching it since delivered.
 
Oh, it's most certainly a scam. But I'll ultimately get my money back.
At 8:01 the message changed to now expecting the item to be delivered by January 16.
Since there's been zero movement on the shipping since it supposedly left the shipper, I'm 100% certain that the person just printed a label and that was it.

Coincidentally, I've been getting a lot more phony scam Emails with my full name on them. So, I'm sure the scam involved mining for Email addresses.
