My Adorama Mavic 4 Pro Fly More Combo Post-Purchase Experiences

It's a huge profit center for them

If I had 10% of what CR generates back to DJI, several of us could live the dream!

I live in Canada so I had no issues buying my Mavic 4 Fly More Kit, RC Rro 2, 240W charger or anything else. What caught my attention about this posting is that Adorama appears that they did not inform buyers in advance of the sale that they cannot register their drone and buy a warranty and there is no parts availability. I wonder where Adorama and B&H are buying these drones? I don't think that they are buying them from DJI, they are most likley buying them from some company that has purchased them from DJI. It's unfortunate that the Mavic 4 Pro is not available to US customers as it is a great drone.

How are we not able to register them, any official source for this? And it has been fairly well vetted that it will come with a standard 1 year warranty, just no care refresh is available. As far as parts, that remains to be seen as does actual warranty work when and if it is needed.

My M4P CC kit is out for delivery this afternoon, I'll be able to do a basic setup, ground check and firmware update on it but no flight due to hot and very windy conditions for the day, so tomorrow AM will be it's check flight for cameras Q/C.

It’s registered to your DJI account as soon as you hit the activation button. I’ve not seen or read of anything that indicates an activation issue regarding location of where that activation button is pushed.

Follow-up to my order that is lost: Adorama said it is not their fault even though UPS has yet to receive it. They are refusing to send a replacement and making me wait 1-2 weeks for a refund (said I should be patient). Anyone considering purchasing from Adorama, maybe reconsider. I ordered the CC on a Friday and it said it would ship the following Monday. Adorama provided a UPS tracking number on Monday but it never made any progress in the UPS system after 5 days and still shows as waiting to be handed off to them. Chatted with a rep twice and first they asked me if I wanted to cancel (which I questioned since how could I cancel if they had already shipped it?) Second rep said they don't really have them even though their website says they are shipping same or next day. So they are clearly selling international stock they get from Canada. Super-shady operation if you ask me. I get it, US people want to purchase but I feel like Adorama is misrepresenting and trying to take advantage of the situation in any kind of cut-throat method possible. I wonder if these were available so readily from the right channels why B&H doesn't offer the same deal - surely they would have them before anyone else if it was legit?
