I notice that a couple of folk in the US have received their 8331 propellers and made videos on noise/performence.  Has anyone in Europe (or elsewhere outside USA) received their propellers yet?  And a question for the DJI folk - Is there any preference given to the USA?

I don't believe it is partial to the United States. I do see where there is a link from the online store: https://store.dji.com/product/ma ... ease-props-platinum

I ordered mine from DJI Europe a few hours after receiving the DJI email at 04:26 GMT on the 27/09/2017.  I see some folk in the US have had them have had them a few days and have had time to make a video.

I am now use to ordering then waiting for the magical shipped email. Watching YouTube  it does seem the states receive the kit first but is that just because they have more youtubers than Europe, who knows. Anyway I’m still waiting for my props.

Could also be because by the time the European folk get there kit there is already a ton of videos.  

Just interested when EU folk get/got theirs.

DJI mailed me after a query about postage after I ordered mine to UK. Been answered with a 8-12th October for shipping. Ordered after mail to say they were back in stock in the DJI Store last week but available on a 1st come 1st served basis. Backlog to clear and then they will be freely available at DJI.

I don't think it is US specific but it does seem that those with thousands of subs on a YT channel that promotes drones get theirs first, irrespective of where they live.

Ah I see - All customers are equal, but some customers are more equal than others.

I think they actually get prototypes before the actual release.  I remember the Spark being released with a load of videos from the big YouTubers on the same day, who freely admitted they were using a pre-release model.
As for the props; I can't see they'll restrict based on youtubers as people watch videos all around the world.
And, I got my props yesterday! So I'm making my "in-studio" + "outside" noise comparison video with sound meter later today ...  

Cheers

I don't have thousands of subs and rarely post yt videos and I was one of the first to get the new props, so I don't think it's that, it's probably just those that signed up for email notice.

Possibly - only DJI can really answer the question.

I signed up for the email note and got my email 04:26 GMT (05:26 local) on the 27/09/2017 and ordered 4 sets early that morning from DJI Europe - yet I still haven't received the props. It seems that most folk that have them over here in the UK have got them through web stores.  I still haven't got an update from DJI despite being promised one by the DJI Moderator over in the "Are You Still Waiting For You Order?" thread.

Finally got  my shipped notification from DJI today - 21 days after placing the order - but the couriers don't show it as tracking yet.
