So I ordered from Adorama 2 days ago. Received email my order will be backordered unto 8/25 which it currently states online as well. So this morning I ordered from Ebay (Korean Seller) for $1000 less. I contact Adorama to CANCEL PREORDER.. They ask why all that nonsense and says they'll get back to me. I hear nothing all day and now I call and they tell me it SHIPPED!!!!

They are making so much money using this "Tariff" nonsense they don't want to lose a sale. Try it you'll see. Try and cancel and it will ship right away.

Cool! What are you going to do with the S. Korean eBay drone? You should raffle it off here in the classified for all the helpful forum members have a chance to win. ;)
 
Trying to cancel the Ebay. If I can't I will decide what to do. Can return Adorama unopened..Even though $1000 more I'd probably rather have the Adorama for US Warranty. We'll see how this goes.

Personally I'd rather have the Adorama drone as well. However, something tells me the eBay drone from S. Korea is going to be very valuable later this year especially when it becomes difficult to impossible to get *any* DJI drone into the country as well as replacement drones and batteries.

One more time border and customs issues,oh but we have to blame the president for this because of tariffs.

Everyone knows the drones were stopped and/or confiscated at the border starting in the mid to late 2024 time period and that was during the last president so this president has nothing to do with it except he carried on that practice instead of ending it like he did practically everything else.

How is this a bad thing?
Perhaps they held some units back from the last batch, for DOA returns, haven't received any, and are filling back orders with them, leaving DJI USA to handle the warranty issues. Lucky you!

The "Korean Seller" purchase for $1000 less will likely arrive with a $2,000 bill to you from U.S. Customs, due upon receipt, unless the Korean Seller fraudulently fills out the Customs Declaration Form, in which case, when the box is X-Rayed and a Chinese drone discovered inside, the drone is seized by Customs, and the Korean Seller is jailed and charged with customs fraud, and unable to refund your money. Feeling lucky?
