I have my theories. I just cancelled my Z axis order and received a request from DJI customer service for feedback. I told them, SINCE THEY DON'T SEEM TO GET IT, that with Americans the level of CS we are used to is:
• Tell us if it's backordered and don't charge us until it's ready.
• If you are having manufacturing problems be truthful and your loyal client base will give you slack.
• Always give an estimated delivery date and if you miss it, give a new ETA update.
Otherwise, Americans will be pissed because they are used to a high level of CS. Adela is trying but you'll notice when it's in regards to dates, timelines and fixes the DJI HQ seems to keep that info in the dark, perhaps for competitive reasons? After all, the Osmo is now facing new competition from Go Pro, Stedicam and others. We US video pros are used to the marketing types from our equipment manufacturers always promoting and giving new info, ala NAB, their culture doesn't work that way, that's why you pull teeth for tidbits of info.
So in sum, I will order all my accessories from US brick & mortar stores where I can talk on the phone with a live US human, determine if it's in stock, when it will be delivered. I would not order from an online only store unless there's a phone number which I can talk to their human, and that's not just because I have recently had to cancel a credit card and debit card lately due to fraud. I believe a lot of this OSMO customer service communication problem is cultural, but you'd have to PM me for my theory. I have several Chinese corporate clients so I feel I know them. Also, when you study DJI as a company the Osmo sales are probably a very small percentage of their total revenues, so why allocate more CS resources, right? Google: DJI and Fortune Magazine, you'll see that DJI is 99.7% a drone company. I really feel that they stumbled on the very successful idea of the Osmo because they saw competitors doing similar, and they RUSHED it to market. This time next year you'll find it all smoothed out, even if they have to hire US CS consultants. My .02¢
