I thought about ordering from Apple, but someone told me why I shouldn't...$126
That's how much the sales tax for it is here in California and since DJI has headquarters in NY, SoCal, San Fran, basically a million places that people will be ordering from, they wisely decided to EAT the cost of the sales tax in those places so if I ordered from apple my total cost would be nearly the same if I ordered from DJI with an extra battery. By the way, they are all coming from China as you know and since there are multiple head-quarters here in the US now, there will be no issue registering. It would be the same as registering a Nissan, Toyota, Mazda, etc.

Which price would you rather have? Also, who do you think DJI is going to take care of first? I actually don't know.
