why is that? Plenty of dealers are having issues getting supply. There are still people that pre-ordered through DJI direct that haven't received theirs yet. Again, how can someone walk in off the street and buy one and pre orders aren't filled yet?
How? Easy. Customs only examines small portion of the shipments that come thru; sort of like random drug testing.
We used to order things in smaller batches so that out of say 5 shipments, statistically 2-3 would show up on time, while few might have been held up by customs.
Looks like Chad put all his eggs in one basket, which makes sense from freight/logistics standpoint, but at least in this case, it obviously caused an issue.
Chances are that if he placed more than one order, the second one may very well leapfrog over the first one.
