    We apologize for the inconvenience caused. The item in your order is still restocking, due to the fact that it is highly requested. We expect the new stock of this product to arrive around June 22, 2020.
    This restocked time is for only reference, and the specific time may be affected by some uncertain factors. Thanks for your understanding.

    I tried the same conversation - stock is expected a week later. I ordered from ES warehouse on 14th April.

    It is released now yes. Not sure of any EU sources to buy from at the minute.

    It may be available from Xiaomi UK, France, Spain. But not sure nay of those deliver to Ireland.

    That's a Sunday - I find it unlikely to ship before then.

    Hopefully it will be worth the wait and the hassle!

    Mine has updated today from Out of Stock to processing.

    Mine has shown processing since ordered in April so no status change, I'd have cancelled by now only I also ordered spare battery and case ect with the order and they have already shipped. Getting to be a pain though with them constantly pushing the dates back

    Thats odd as I ordered on 14th April too, yet we are (yet again) being told different stories with regards new expected dates... I'll be cancelling mine if this continues again next week

    I cancelled by BG order as I couldn't be bothered dealing with them anymore.

    I reordered with the FIMI store on AliExpress and with TCB rebate it's coming in a little over €340 assuming no customs.

    I have a tracking number, their Comms have been clear and consistent and I expect it before the end of the of the month.

    The tracking number is "issued" but not been picked up yet. It's the usual Ali seller tactic of meeting the Ali shipping deadlines.
    Have been assured the plan to ship on the 15th tho.

    I do hope that whenever these drones get here, we all have a bit of craic with them :)

    I think I will also cancel if it doesn't ship by the 22nd. Will probably order a Mavic mini.

    Have any of you claimed money back from banggood before? Is it difficult?

    with all the toing and froing, I think I'll just go for a mavic air 2.

    having done a rough calculation, to get similar to the fly more combo would end up costing about $750-800, assuming I don't get stung for customs. If I did, then that'd bring it to a minimum of $900.

    the mavic air 2 at €1049 is starting to look like a better option - with better warranty support and I'd have it next week rather than some unknown time in July or even August.

    More delays. I think it's time (for me) to give up I don't blame Banggood, but I won't be chasing this.

    If you order from any of the Chinese sites (Taobao/1688/Tmall etc.) their shipping prices have shot up (quite expensive now) as a result of the limited flights and ships.
    I am guessing that this delay may be related to that, and also maybe stock was not fulfilled as quickly as they hoped.
    If it is the flights, and the fact that they are already selling these a lot cheaper than they had planned/EU tax, and that they are fairly big shipping price each, then they are unlikely to get here until flights go back to normal.

    I have emailed them politely asking if it was realistically going to get here or should I give up. Hopefully I get an honest response.


    Has anybody that ordered from aliexpress received theirs?

    Well done Pete.
    Annoyed that they told me only last Friday that mine would ship today too, yet this morning when I saw no update/progress I contacted them, and they told me t's pushed out yet another week....it's very annoying that they keep pushing dates out week on week.
    I was going to cancel the order this evening until I saw that your order is now making headway. Great to hear.

    Ah, that'll be the difference. Let us know if you get stung for customs.

    Tick tariff insurance at the checkout.



    I would imagine I'm not the only one kicking themselves for not having done that to begin with now.

    Hindsight with pre-orders.
    Congrats Pete.. Sour Grapes here :D
    I am on chat, and...
    Do you think it will ship within 7 days?

    Schrubble 23:59

    Yes, I am positive about the same







    So 22nd it is.. I have asked the on the chat to cancel the order if it is not shipped by then.

    I had asked if they could change the Warehouse, I got told that is not possible.

    Tracking from Ali Express is showing up under post Netherlands. Are they routing parcels through there?

    Yep, think that's the most common one to avoid customs.

    Ive been told that it may be 1-2 weeks more but they didnt have a date for the shipment to arrive in the warehouse... I'm waiting for 2 weeks, then i'm done, a drone is not for me.
