Ordered (Mavic Air-flame red-fly more combo) the day of product launch. Shipment status is still void of information. Payment went just fine. Just chatted with online support and was told I can expect it to be shipped around 13 February. To recap that wonderful exchange: I expressed concern over their automated logistic systems inability to properly estimate product availability. Why had they not taken proactive mitigating measures to address customer concerns. Why are some that ordered on different days already receiving shipments? I exclaimed that they are a global company with previous popular product launches and this process/demand should not be unexpected.
All I got was a complete run around about how they ...are sorry but the product shipment is only an estimate. People ordered before me. They will get to my order in turn. I got no response to the inaccurate estimates, mitigating customer concerns, why this was unexpected, etc. I asked them to elevate the concerns and they said they would.
My opinion: They hype this up, they knew they were not going to have enough product to ship out, they intentionally mislead potential customers on the order site estimate, knowing they will not cancel once they order and pay for it. They get the money, while you pay the interest on the loan and thus are pre-paid for future labor. Not a bad business model if you can get away with it. I would say, they certainly will. Too bad honesty is in short supply.
I think I would order regardless. I just would have appreciated less anxiety/anticipation. I could have walked away without concern for three weeks and then checked in on order status instead of being super happy and excited to check it every hour on the hour. Grrrrrrrrr!
