So the new props are available.  YAY!!!  
Was anxious to order them but $15 shippping on a $10 order?  No thanks.  I'll wait until they hit the shelves at Best Buy.  

Why do you do that to us DJI?

That’s why I backed out.  That’s just unreasonable.  Did it for the 8331’s, never again...

I agree 15$ is quite a lot. Shipping cost for me is a whopping 24 euro. I'd recommend you wait until your local authorized dealer have them in stock. They should be just around the corner.

They have a minimum on shipping unless you order the high dollar items.

Yes but that doesn't make it right.  Truth is, their minimum is too high.  Those props and all of the other small parts they sell cost about $2 to ship.  Charging a $5 minimum would still make them money (not that I am in favor of marking up shipping costs).  If it were my business, I'd charge more for the props and less for shipping.  Obviously someone who paid upwards of $1500 for their AC would pay $12-15 for the new props and $5 for shipping.  Anyway, I got them on Amazon for $18 w/free shipping.  It's entirely possible that DJI does it to avoid dealing with small orders.

Now please don't give them any good ideas. If you order more than one set (you would need at least two pairs) there would be no reason that the prize should be higher than is.
Seek for and talk to someone near you and make a common order splitting the shipment costs.

Who'd you go through, got a link?  That's for one pair if it's the one I saw, and check your shipping date.  I tried with the free shipping and it looks like a middle of June delivery date.

it would be a $20 order unless you only want 2 props

They also are on 15 day ship so not really available now. And yes, the $15 ship is comical considering they pay $1.65 to send them

4 props are included.

Right so $20 for 4 props + $15 Shipping = $35.  You can get 4 props here for a total of $26.26 https://www.amazon.com/gp/produc ... 0?ie=UTF8&psc=1
As for the delivery date... Does anyone think DJI will get them to you faster?  Last time I ordered from them it took 3 weeks and they sent the wrong item.  It's not like I don't have any props now.  I can wait a bit for the new ones.

I too backed out at nearly £14, considering a full set of standard props from Wish (not going to lol) shipping is at £2

No a pair = 2, but guess you have figured that out now.

Not gonna buy those before they make some black ones and then i would be ordering from local store not from DJI directly.

I ordered them. I needed a car charger for the P4 and a couple other things... So I waited until I got the email for the quiet props. Bought DJI Select to get half price on Refresh for the Mavic and it had four 20% accessory coupons. Had credit from previous purchases, 20% on the charger and free shipping. Very fortunate it all timed out. I got a message today that it should be delivered next Thursday, but I'm not holding my breath the props will come with the order.

Use your DJI forum credits to buy the new props.  ;-)

No, On the link I provided you get 4 props.  From DJI, yes they are a pair (2).

I already got 2 pairs from DJI.  I ordered last 24 May and it arrived on 28 may. I checked it and still new as sealed 15 dollars with big box without any sign damaged. Thank to DJI. Going to test tomorrow.

too expensive accessories for our drones, maybe Dji thinks that all users are well off

I watched a field test of these with a calibrated decibel meter, and it only dropped the noise by 3-5 dB in a hover, so ill stick with the stock props

Right. If somebody expects that the Phantom will be silent this is a myth.
Maybe the sound is just a little lower, nothing else. So the 'silent' is misleading name. But I like that noise more than at the original ones.

If you are a prime member order them through Amazon then the shipping is free. If they are from DJI they still get their money and you get your props. The noise reduction ones are nice I had my doubts until I flew with them the first time.
