To those still waiting for delivery of orders placed in 2016 I have some news. I ordered the Mavic Pro Flymore combo on the 18th December 2016 using the 0% finance deal. Like many others I waited patiently despite a lack of information from Jessops I knew there was a severe shortage in the UK and so stuck with them. Emailing and ringing them proved to be fruitless so I started looking at how to fund my Mavic differently, in the end I decided to use my credit card and some cash I have been saving since ordering.
On Sunday 12th Feb I cracked and placed an order direct with DJI, not realistically expecting them to have stock considering the situation with 3rd party retailers in the UK. It arrived yesterday lunch time.
At the same time I placed the order I emailed Jessops again only to get no more information than before, so I have now cancelled the order with Jessops. That means I am no longer in the queue so any one ordering after 18th December is one place nearer getting their order. It means I will end up paying more over all but if I am sensible I could pay it off in 6 months.
The moral of my story is order direct from DJI, it is totally wrong that you can order today and get your order satisfied before someone who pre-ordered in 2016 from a UK retailer, if I was one of those retailers I would be reconsidering my relationship with DJI. What can they do? refuse to sell DJI products and lose a whole load of customers? I don't know the answer but it stinks! I am sure I will get over my rant the minute I start flying my Mavic.
Good luck to those still waiting. For those who can, order from DJI direct and it should be here before the weekend.
PS. there may be some who doubt my story but I can prove it all if you are interested |
