Despite DJI’s promises that shipments for its new Mavic Pro drone were underway, very few drones have made their way to customers. Last week, we wrote about the shipping delays plaguing the drone. Hours after we published our story, DJI released a statement announcing that shipping had begun. But according to customer reports and leaked company communication, only a small fraction of the highly-anticipated $1000 UAVs on backorder have shipped.

We’ve heard from a number of irate Mavic Pro buyers who confirm that not only have their drones not been shipped yet, they can’t get updated information from DJI on when to expect them.

DJI resellers are having a hard time getting units too. Gizmodo obtained an email sent to a DJI distributor from a member of the global sales and marketing team at DJI.
