I'm disappointed also because the Mavic will be my first "real" drone. However, please consider that there is a possibility that the delay has nothing to do with the company or the product itself.
I found this on another online forum:
Mavic Pro Shipping Delay Theory; Hanjin Shipping Out of Business
Alright, I have been digging around and I have a theory. Stay with me here.
This article was posted on March 31, 2016 Title: "Global shipping industry takes a hit from China slowdown"
http://money.cnn.com/2016/03/31/ ... n/index.html?iid=EL
Essentially this article explains how China is having it's weakest economic growth in 25 years and slowing down exports, which is causing shipping businesses to go bankrupt.
The next article is titled: "Global trade slump sinks shipping giant", and explains how the recent decrease in global trade is causing a massive Korean shipping company to go under. It was posted on August 31st.

This last article was posted on September 2nd, title: "U.S. retailers warn of shipping crisis as holiday shopping looms"
http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/02/ ... iday-season/?iid=EL
This article talks about the concerns that us retailers have over the recent shipping giant that filed for bankruptcy protection, Hanjin Shipping, and how this will affect stock levels for all products during the holiday season.
So with all this taken into account, it seems more likely than not that DJi would be having some issues shipping their products around the world in a timely manner.
TLR; The shipping industry is dying.
Also, from the FEDEX website:

Hanjin Shipping Files for Court Receivership
Today, South Korea’s Hanjin Shipping Co. Ltd filed for court receivership. If the application for receivership is accepted by the District Court in Seoul, it is possible Hanjin Shipping assets could be frozen while the court deliberates next steps.
These developments are having an immediate impact on ocean freight forwarding operations, particularly transpacific shipments inbound to North America. According to published reports, some ports are turning away Hanjin vessels, holding Hanjin freight at the container yard or refusing Hanjin shipments all together. FedEx Trade Networks is aware of the situation and is following the rapidly changing developments closely. We are reviewing contingencies to address the needs of impacted customers on a case-by-case basis and to resolve any concerns.
FedEx Trade Networks will continue to monitor the situation and will provide additional information as it becomes available.
