Pre-order and Shipping Times - Who Will Get the Mavic First?

[dontic]

My payment cleared immediately with PayPal and I've even confirmed with DJi that the payment cleared on October 5th. I also ordered the Basic but I have seen Basic orders from October 7th ship. I know complaining about it doesn't help anything but it is frustrating beyond belief to have no communication from them and no way of getting any answers. It's basically a big F-you from DJi to take payment 2 months ago and have no responsibility to the customer to answer their questions about the status of their order. I was active on this forum about a month ago and had to take a hiatus so that I would stop refreshing my order page. It's like crack and I couldn't stay away. lol

I know, no company should do that, they have peoples money (including mine) on hold since 2 months ago, this is not professional at all.

I'm studying here in the States and I go back to Spain for the break in a week and a half. I was planning to practice my flying there since, here in the city, there are no places nearby where I cannot cause any damage. I'm just hoping for a Christmas miracle for it to arrive before that.

Explain how DJI loses money here..

Both DJI direct and the third party dealer charge you the same price for the Mavic and accessories. When sold through a third party, they make a certain margin (their profit that keeps them in business). When DJI sells it to you directly, they get to keep that margin themselves, on top of the profits they were already making with the third party sales.
Therefore direct sales put more money in DJI's pockets than third party sales do.

Did NewEgg not send you a heads-up email with FedEx tracking number? They did for me. Lucky thing you were home!

Mine was supposed to be here today since it went to UPS yesterday because I bought overnight shipping, and it's still sitting in a UPS warehouse in California.

I have extra props too, just waiting on my Mavic that should've been here today. So in the mean time I just spin the props on my finger like a basketball.

I'm so jealous I unfortunately ordered FMC from DJI 11-14. Hoping to have it before the new year. I did make some money off a few I managed to find at Apple to offset the cost. Anyone wanna send me the box so I can pretend?

Ordered fly more on 11/25 from Newegg and was supposed to be delivered Monday but it showed up today instead. Great logistics!

 

[johndoedoes]

2 Mavic's in stock at Apple Store!

 

[devinrhall]

2 Mavic's in stock at Apple Store in Ft Lauderdale

Did you pick them up, good chance they're just display boxes.

I think they purposefully add in a buffer on international deliveries in case customs takes longer than expected, as that's the only part in the timeline not in their control. Since DJI ships so many units to the US, their packages probably sail through the customs process faster than others.

Well, my Mavic is still sitting at a California UPS store and was supposed to be overnighted so I would get it today. Emailed UPS and says they answer you within 4 hours and it's been 6 hours. Good customer service is a rare thing it seems, don't care what anyone thinks about @Advexure but I personally think a lot of places could learn good customer service from them.
