Folks,
I ordered direct from DJI on April 9, number 3495. I've been thinking a LOT these past few days about whether or not that was a mistake. Especially given the types of responses I was getting from DJI via email, and hearing similar problems from you guys.
After getting the note from DJI this morning about the further delay, and after reading the post from Tweedo above, I decided to look into ordering from someone state side who has the P2V+ in stock.
Had an extremely nice call with the sales person at daves motors when I called. He said other folks had been calling expressing frustration over DJI and their delays. Then told me he had stacks of boxes and would literally tweet a photo out while we were on the phone. (which he did)
I asked if I could still get overnight shipping (he said absolutely) - I placed my order at 2:45pm Central Time. About 15 minutes ago.
Using the 5% discount that Tweedo noted (coupon code squirrel), the total cost of P2V+ with extra battery AND overnight shipping was $1355.55
Meaning, $33.45 LESS expensive than DJI direct, and I will get it tomorrow in time for the weekend. My only frustration was that they would only ship to the billing address on my card, and because I have a debit card, I couldn't call and do a one-time alternate billing address. So, I paid via PayPal with no problem and am getting it mailed directly to me.
I've sent in my cancellations to DJI.
I'll post once I a) have shipping confirmation from Daves, and b) have a refund from DJI. For those of you who are frustrated with DJI and want their PV2+ right away, you should consider doing the same. My only hesitation had been making sure I got the refund from DJI (which someone earlier said they got), and then taking the risk with a local place (also heard stories of US dealers saying they had in stock and then reporting delays). After speaking with their rep on the phone, the latter was no longer a concern.
Thanks.
