eseckinger, that's strange. It looks like the prices are switched. The Advanced is currently showing the Professional price.

I am very happy that I could help everyone out that preordered thru Amazon. Three extra weeks is a long time to wait also the tax break is nice as well. UAV Outlet people are very nice when I had to change up my order I will be dealing with them in the future.

Or you contact those who purchased who likely understand it was an honest mistake and discuss what they really wanted. Mistakes happen and most people are understanding. Many people will order that just to see if it goes through.
FYI, another forum I'm on has a thread where people post savings/errors on stuff sometimes at $1000's of dollars off for Amazon items. Many people buy and hope they get it, if not they understand when they are contacted and it's clearly explained. Some vendors play games and those vendors are not liked. This mistake was obvious and people should understand that.
Understood but I've seen things on Amazon like a $4500 engine hoist for $69. Nobody can reasonably expect that to be correct or a P3P costing more than a P3P w/extra battery which happens to be the same price as a P3A with battery. If Amazon will pay for it great but it shouldn't be expected.I'm all for the customer getting what they ordered, they shouldn't have to suffer due Amazon's mistake.. I should have ordered one for myself..
See Simon Newtons latest post on his YouTube channel.
He says FCC is controlled by the GPS and therefore if you fly in the UK your transmitter power will automatically be reduced to UK legal.
Those links appear to go to Sold by Amazon, shipped by Amazon. What am I missing?
I hate when people don't put a link.
What are you looking at?
Here is what I used when I was asking about dates: http://www.uav-outlet.com/products/...al-quadcopter-with-integrated-fpv-camera.html
I talked to UAV and received clarification that went like this:
1. when ordering thru Amazon, the shipping date is set for when they expect to have BOTH the P3 AND the battery.
2. when ordering directly thru UAV, you can ask them to ship the two parts separately and get the P3 when it arrives and get the battery separately, 2-3 weeks later.
That's the benefit of ordering directly thru the dealer.
Amazon doesn't allow for partial shipment and it's easier from customer service standpoint to wait until all pieces are in stock to ship everything.
That way you don't end up with claims of missing parts, bad reviews, etc.
When dealing directly with a human being (OK, it's over the phone), you can have a 2-way conversation and express your unique needs.
I for example asked about trackers, and was advised on which to consider and I placed an order for one while on the phone.

At the bottom of the Amazon ad, there's an advisory: "Special Shipping Information: Due to federal and international regulations, this product can only be shipped within the 50 states". Xin Lox.

Your post musta been read by Amazon bean counters! Now the tax is added in the UAV Outlet ordering :-(
Not if you call Chad and order directly from him. They have a website as well, but I like talking to people and Chad was able to answer several questions I had.
Interesting thought that Amazon fulfillment did not charge you tax. It was my understanding that if Amazon merchandise is taxed in your state, then any 3rd party transactions/fulfillments done thru Amazon would be taxed as well.
Anything that I've purchased from 3rd parties on Amazon is not taxed unless they have a facility in my state. Tax is charged if I purchase from Amazon.
