Did you hear about the box factory shortage

Actually, I heard it was a copyright dispute.  Italy is suing DJI saying that the name of the drone is actually the Mauic and the ancient Romans copyrighted using the letter V as the letter U.  

I also heard there were logistics issues hampering transporting the drones for delivery.  Since Elvis has been in hiding so long, he needed extra money so he took on the job of driving the DJI delivery trucks.  Unfortunately, he was abducted by aliens in route and is currently in the process of being probed.  In the meantime, bigfoot emerged from the nearby woods and stole the truck left behind when Elvis was abducted.  Of course, these trucks weren't designed to handle drivers that have the stature of bigfoot making them driving them something of a challenge, he lost control and drove it in to a lake.  Now here's where it gets bad for the journey, it just so happens that in this lake, the loch ness monster was enjoying time on vacation when this truck plummets right in to his underwater living room.  They looked so small and tasty, nessy snapped them up and our precious drones are now snaking their way through the digestive system of a fictitious monster.  Fortunately, Santa is on the bank of the lake pouring in laxatives with a pooper scooper on the ready to snatch them when nessy passes them just in time for Christmas.  We will most certainly get them under the tree . . . you may want to wash them first.

Hey, this is about as likely of some of the other theories on the boards of late.

Chris, we are trying to give users factual information in the front of misinformation.  Yes we are shipping.  Yes we do not have enough product to meet the current back log.  Are we working to bring the supply in alignment with demand, yes.  I do not think that DJI as a private company in China will give our users and their competitors our sales numbers or how many we have left to deliver.  That is not going to happen.  Sorry.

Jeezus Ed, you're spamproof!

Chris, this obviously is a lost art. Time to give it up {:4_177:}

Chris, I don't think so.  Truth is in the eye of the beholder. While the originator of the email was ...

Just curious, if 50 is a total fabrication, what was the actual unit count? Some others believe 200 was the number. The Google Spreadsheet just shows a handful out of the 650 being tracked have shipped.

I'm sorry, really I am, I didn't intend to waste your time.  Have a great day.

In fairness to Tahoe Ed he is just trying to help...

He does not have the authority to disclose the sales / shipment numbers.

I am sure DJI is doing their best to ship as many orders as possible ASAP.  It's a good situation to be in for DJI.  Not so good for all of us waiting...

What a load of time wasting crap

lol this got me

Those lying on the floor sniffed all the mavic powder then realized they were thirsty so they drank the drone juice.

I got a sneak peek inside the DJI Factory yesterday. Yep.... In full swing!

Probably not far from the actual situation.
