I placed my order Oct 19 with a note that shipment would be within 15 days. Now when I go online there is a note after the product that says "Shipment will be within 20-25 business days." That may mean more orders are now coming in. I hope so. My decision to get the Platinum was based on the popularity of the product. I always like to get models/products that are very common to make repairs and parts easily accessible in the future. I must say for a retired man I am pretty excited in my wait for this new toy. ha ha This ol' saying is certainly true in my case: "The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys." I hope it lasts me a while. There is now a new drone out that is held together with magnets, collapses if it crashes, just clicks together. The only thing is it has low range. So innovation continues and I'm sure DJI will keep up or stay ahead. Quality seems to be there. Let's just hope the customer service reputation improves.
