Currently, when it comes to non-Amazon third party sellers of DJI on Amazon, they are all scams! Amazon promotes them as though DJI is the seller. Amazon then sanitizes the scam sellers' terrible reviews with strikeouts pretending that Amazon was responsible for the fulfillment of the order, not the scam seller, when the scam seller is the one doing the bogus "shipping" from China with a USPS (that’s not a typo!) tracking number that mysteriously is never received by the US Postal Service, because the scam seller never had any merchandise to sell in the first place. Your only recourse is the A to Z Guarantee, which is worthless, as Amazon will not issue a refund unless the seller agrees, and the seller is given every benefit of the doubt! Buyer Beware!
No DJI drones anywhere???
- Thread starter akdrone
- Start date
I'm in between being shocked and not-shocked that the U.S. government has for all intents and purposes banned DJI, I hope that things change, but given that drones are now seeing widespread usage on battlefields, and more restrictions likely coming for using the 0-400 foot air corridor I guess Im not surprised.
I didn't start flying until this past May, so am late to the party on all this but I am glad I had the foresight and means to purchase an Air 3S and M4P. I'd like to the Mavic 4 Pro creator combo, but at this point I'm not sure I'd want to spend that much money on another DJI product out of concerns that something happens where it ends up being a paperweight.
That said, U.S. Drone Supply out of CA is all over Facebook with ads for the Mavic 4 pro. Are they legit ?

what exactly does "activated" mean in this case? Does that mean it's bound to a previous account?Terms of service

I would imagine the drone is logged into a merchant test account, the drone is then activated, and then the drone is logged out of the merchant test account. No binding is done and when the buyer gets the drone, he is not presented with the opportunity to obtain (and get rejected) DJI Care Refresh. Seller only needs to login with their own DJI account and perform any required binding.
All DJI drones can only be activated once in their lifetime.
supposedly, right now Adorama has the Mini 3 available ($565):
https://www.adorama.com/djimini3es.html
and the Matrice 4E ($6100) and 4T ($7850) available (no Care):
https://www.adorama.com/djicpen57402.html#main-product-tabs
they come with the RC Plus 2E. I was kind of considering this drone about 10 days ago, but in those 10 days, the price has increased by $950....wow. They have extra batteries at $250 each
so if you wanted a Matrice 4E fly more combo it would be $6600. And no Care refresh. That's an awful big chunk of change. Come with O4 and the enterprise app
they also have the Matrice 4D for $7730 which includes the RC Plus 2E and Care Enterprise . But are saying it's a 'Close-out' sale. They still have the Matrice 30T for $12,516.
the Mavic 4 Pro is listed as being 'on backorder/notify-when-available
but they do seem to have quite a few DJI drones
https://www.adorama.com/l/Drones-and-Accessories/DJI~Drones
Adorama appears to have a solid inventory of Autel drones....if you're a little desperate I guess
Drone Nerds doesn't have much...some Neo's, Matrice 30T's, and Matrice 4D's. By the way, I just notice that the batteries for the 4D cost $462...yikes!

thanks
still, that's gambling nearly $5000 with no recourse if you get a dud. Really have to be desperate for a Mavic 4. Spending $6600 for the Matrice 4E 'fly more combo' with a warranty from Adorama doesn't look that bad in comparison
If you use a good credit card for your purchase, you always have some sort of recourse. I bought my Mavic 4 Pro not out of desperation but mostly from exasperation.
Absolutely, there's no way I would buy anything from that fake website:
There's a huge difference between leaving and being blocked...
Amazon LLC, where it was shipped and sold by Amazon, or a was it being sold by a third party seller on Amazon's Marketplace, covered only by the A to Z Guarantee?
I just did a search on Amazon Prime for the DJI Flip. I found the Fly More Combo for a reasonable price. It looks like it came up on the DJI Store. Only 1 per customer is allowed. I received it and went to apply for the DJI replacement insurance from DJI, but it said it wasn't supported. I then bought the 3 year insurance from Amazon.

Are there any retail stores listed on that page? It's not just the US, it looks like they were all scrubbed.Is it me or does it seem like the lists have been scrubbed?

Under the retail store tab, I see listing for Mexico but none for the US or Canada. Everything for Europe is mostly there as well.
The DJI Store isn't the seller, nor is Amazon LLC. That's where Amazon is very misleading.
Here is a current screenshot of the result from the link for the Flip from the DJI Store page on Amazon. DJI Store is not selling anything on Amazon anymore in the U.S. and neither is Amazon LLC. , but Amazon Marketplace is exploiting the DJI Store page to link to sketchy Amazon Marketplace third party sellers, where you are only covered by the A to Z Guarantee.
Note that the seller is actually "Air Photo" but under the title of the listing it states, "Visit the DJI Store" implying that this is a DJI Store listing but it is not!
When you look up the real seller, Air Photo, you find they have nothing but negative recent critical reviews that Amazon has deliberately suppressed, keeping the bogus 5 star rating, despite all one star reviews that Amazon strikes over, so they won't count!
So Canada is missing, too? That must depend upon where you are accessing from. Surely, Canadians can still access the Canada DJI website for inventory.

Or they don't want Americans to drive into Canada raiding the Canadian retailers for supplies.So Canada is missing, too? That must depend upon where you are accessing from. Surely, Canadians can still access the Canada DJI website for inventory.
