What are the Odds that I get my Mavic before I go on my trip on the 30th of October? I per-ordered on the 27th and my payment has been processed but don't have a shipping date.
Where will you purchase your Mavic?

Yeah, I too was thinking about it, but some of the language in the agreement sounded kind of squishy.
"DJI Care Refresh provides replacement service if damage resulting from quality issues occurs to the aircraft, propellers, or battery during normal use."
DJI Care Refresh does not cover the following:
1) Lost or partially lost aircraft or accessories.
2) Stolen, forgotten, or abandoned aircraft.
3) Damage caused by flight under unsuitable conditions.
4) Any repair fees resulting from or following water damage.
5) Repair fees for remote controller and modification accessories.
6) Deliberate losses.
7) Abrasions and shell damage that do not affect the performance of the aircraft.
8) Direct or indirect losses caused by force majeure.
9) Repair requests for damage incurred outside the period of validity.
10) Extra fees resulting from technical enhancements or performance improvements.
11) Damage resulting from circuit restructuring not in accordance to manual recommendations, or the use of incompatible batteries and charger.
12) Damage resulting from the use of third party accessories, batteries or software.
I'm buying through Apple just so I can take it back if anything is wrong with the unit. It will cost me an extra $70 to $95 for sales tax, though.

Ordered my bundle from Heliguy here in the UK.
Not dealt with them before, but only heard good about them.
Spoke on the phone first, said the first batch of 250 had already sold over half of them since it was announced.
Just need to sell my p3a now......:-(

Yes, 30 days, but they have you work with DJI directly. Unless you ordered the one showing through Amazon Prime, where you can return in 30 days and Amazon will pay return shipping if it's defective.

not to sure you will have it by the 30th. I ordered mine on the 27th as well and was told it wont ship until 11/1. You can find out when yours will ship if you reach out to DJI customer support directly. Best of luck!

I was told the week of Oct. 17th, they will have 100 bundle kits and 50 regular coming in. From the numbers they gave me looks like 70% have been sold already.
Maybe, for those who are getting Nov. shipment and want it quicker, its best to grab one in stores?

Ordered mine today. E ZEE ELECTRONICS (an authorized DJI seller) via Amazon Prime, so I get the 30 day return.
Any one ordered from Adorama? I ordered on 28th and it didn't tell me when is the estimated shipping date.
I ordered from the DJI Store. The good thing about it is the money all goes to them. They built and designed it and THEY deserve it.

Find a Best Buy store manager who wants to help (they are rare, but you only need one!) and ask them to let you return it to place a pre-order for the Mavic with extra batteries, with a store credit for the difference. They have lots of discretion, but most think their job as manager is to enforce the rules, rather than use their discretion to help a customer. If you don't succeed at first, go to a different store, or when a different manager is on duty at the same store. Don't give up trying until you get to yes! It worked for me, trading in a P3P for a P4 last year, a full 3 months after I bought the P3P, when my return period at the time was 15 days!
Good luck!

Wondering if you will be receiving yours very soon or is it just a tease.
My guess and hopes for you is they missed reading the instructions on when they were allowed to ship if they received their batches early..
Or maybe they just made the shipping label, so you would go on forums and tell how fast they shipped their units, so more people will buy from them..but they wont send it before the XX date. 
Just ordered mine from Apple with Apple Pay to pick up in store. Sold my P3 to a photography student for $500.
I sold mine for $720 with 4 battery total
a bag, but it was cheaply made
set of brand new DJI props
and 3 sets of carbon fiber props

Mavic Pro $999 or £999 if you're in the UK (which I am). Seems unfair to me, current currency conversion makes $999 £783. But if I order from a US seller like Amazon, I'll get hit with import duty, yes? Anyone ordered high value items from the US shipped to the UK? I've read you can get Amazon to send the item marked as a gift which avoids import duty, but that may well just be the internet talking.
