I don't understand how 'huge demand' has ANYTHING to do with not shipping the first batch on time a ...

I was thinking the same thing st pauli. Ok they've had huge demand lets say 10 million orders and lets say they only planned on 500k, so why haven't the first 500k shipped? WHERE ARE THEY? Are they on a boat in a container? Are they in a warehouse? WHERE ARE THEY? From what I can see ZERO mavic pro's have shipped, so did they plan on zero people pre-ordering?

I ordered through Best Buy on 10/17, they are no longer taking pre orders. I chat with them everyday ...

I pre-ordered through BB and so far they are holding to the October 31st date but I expect that to change at some point. I just checked their site and it appears that you can still pre-order one as of just a minute ago with the same Oct 31st delivery promise when it is in your cart.

I stand corrected, it still says October 30th release date but shipping now states shipping not available so you may be right.

So if the Mavic's are still on a ship or just got unloaded from a ship why can't they tell us those details? Why the vague sorry we've had huge demand baloney?

The containers were loaded in Hong Kong 4 days before the announcement of Mavic? Nothing to see there then.

Kudos to you Kevin. You had me excited for a second but it was the "Order completed" highlighted blue that gave it away

Who knows what were in those shipping containers. 2500 remote control helicopters. It could be that DJI is just ensuring they have enough to ship to everyone all at once. Or it could be P4s. Either way it takes 3 weeks for them to get something from Hong Kong to LA. If they are Mavics it would make sense.

They are 2500 replacement drones for Casey Neistat. They will ration them out to him as he breaks them.

first unboxing of the mavic pro in china I think

mxlmn · 2016-10-19

So DJI took my money, now goes silent and fails to give me a shipping date, I cannot cancel my order online, no answer to emails. This is disgraceful to say the least... Did the CEO take off with the cash ? Sounds like a nice scam !
I have no choice than to contest the credit card charges.

kevinelliott · 2016-10-19

watuse Posted at 2016-10-20 08:54

But that's in a DJI store or reseller. Official unit, but is it a customer's? Nice packaging, definitely "Apple-esque"...

HFI · 2016-10-19

Honestly 2500 Mavic's for the US pre orders doesn't sound like enough. DJI probably would have allocated more than that so makes me think they are something else

If this was actually Mavics (and there's no evidence of that yet), then it would seem likely that it was not a typical production run shipment, but just a regional delivery, perhaps spares in case they need to replace some initial units in the first batches in the region.

Also, it could just be more units for VIPs (although that's a LOT of VIPs).

If it's indeed Mavics, then there are likely to be several other ships bringing them all over the world, and we should search for more Bill of Ladings.

But the most likely it's just a refill of some existing products -- like P4 or Inspire.

Dji send all the first batch of mavics back to replace the cameras. The first mavics had issues with the lenses. Thats the reason all this happen.

This one is in Taiwan. some sort of reseller or for press. There are a couple of similar "unboxing" videos in Chinese but most of them are with a "Not for sale" label on the drone or the box (but i cannot find a clear one in this video)

Another thing to keep in mind is that the unit of measurement is "cartons". That may not be the number of items, but the number of boxes. Mavics are fairly small compared to other prior products and could be packed 12 to a carton. At that count that it would be 30,000. Again, not jumping on this yet. Might just be shipping 2500 boxes of rocks to shut up the forums with leaked shipping info

You can also see the same details of that Bill of Lading on the MSC website but in a format that is more digestable (and you can export to PDF):

Then plug in MSCUC5512946 in the search.

It wouldn't let me link directly to the results.

pXTHxoStWY5h · 2016-10-19

Fact:

When Casey Neistat shows off his replacement drone on YouTube, we should see ours maybe 10 days after....He will get it first GUARANTEED

0VS8Vgo5qudB · 2016-10-19

There will be typhoon during the weekend in Shenzhen/HongKong... so can we assume if DJI cannot ship today (right now 9:20am OCT 20th in HK), it will not be shipped out by 24th and no one will receive it before the end of OCT? (unless they change to air shipment)

and according to Chinese forum, no pre-order in HK or mainland China has been shipped (i m in HK myself with preorder on 28th). and Chinese resellers issued the delay notice as well yesterday.

I don't believe shipping by air is an option due to the LiPos. Ground and water transport only. I believe they are only allowed by air in small quantities and on person not in cargo. May be wrong about though. I'm wrong a 100 times a day, what's a 101.

What is your order#, what happened when you tried to cancel it online?
I can assure you that you can cancel your order and get a full refund.

Is this what my life has been reduced to, refreshing a mindless shipping forum praying for some epiphany that will bring my precious one step closer to my doorstep while watching the US presidential debate. To beat that, I'm having trouble deciding which one is more depressing

I've seen this before. Ordered early, within minutes of the official release. Paid immediately and hopefully be in on the ground floor. Then a bunch of Casey N. types will start posting their unboxing vids a month before I get mine because I don't live in NY or LA. Preorders are pretty much a pipe dream for us common folk.
