If you've had a flyaway or similar "DJI's fault" replacement, how long did it take DJI to confirm your logs? How long from initial repair request to getting a replacement drone?

I've been waiting ~4 days for the log confirmation, which seems basic.

I've been very fortunate that I've not needed such service, but others in these forums have.  I recall seeing posts about waiting two weeks and not hearing anything.  It's usually taken some intervention from our DJI Moderators to get traction.

It will take at least a month, from the time you ship to dji till the time it lands on your doorstep....

No inbound shipping, R&L.

I'm hesitant to give my case number because I wish it would proceed 'naturally', but: CAS-891082-T2L3Z0

Just checked your case, it is under analysis. we may need more info for further analysis. Could you please export the whole flight record folder and the cached video, then upload them to the Dropbox?  
IOS's flight record is saved in the "documents" under the "djipilot", it can only be exported through iTunes.
Android's flight record is saved in: /sdcard/DJI/dji.pilot/FlightRecord.
For the cached video, Android: DJI/dji.go.v4/DJI_RECORD ,  iOS: DJI GO4/Documents/videoCache

I already sent the flight record, and there wasn't a cached video.

Where did you send the flight records? Or the flight records were uploaded to phantomhelp.com?
Sorry that this website is not official, we need the whole flight records folder for further analysis, please refer to Diana's post on 7#, export the whole folder to us, thanks a lot.

Ah, I only sent the final flight record. Sent the whole thing in. As I said in the email just now, I sent "the entire FlightRecord directory, the entire LOG directory, and the final cached video, which is from one flight before the drone crashed itself."

On 8/23, 2am my time, I got an email that said, basically "yeah it's our fault, we'll give you a code to replace it. are you in the US?"

At 5am I replied and confirmed the country.

On 8/24 at 9am I sent a bump/reminder.

Still haven't heard back, it's been 46 hours since the initial email. This should be the easy part, yes?

I got the coupon today and ordered the replacement drone. So it'll end up being 2-3 weeks from initial contact to replacement.
