Does anyone have any thoughts on the best time to make the drone purchase. I’m pretty much set on a Mavic Mini Fly more deal but am not sure whether to wait till the “January Sales” or try and get something now (while the Xmas rush is on). I’m a little worried about getting to January and then finding that no one has any stock?
Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a DJI Mavic (drone name here) deal? What I mean is that some products offer deals based on how much the retailer wants to discount a product. However, some manufacturers just say that’s the price this item costs and there is no variation between retailers.
Do DJI do sale prices or is there list price what they stick to in all cases?
I guess I’m asking because if DJI don’t do deals or discounts then there’s little point waiting for the new year sales if I can get stick now.
@milkmanchris Thanks, that’s very comprehensive. I get the impression as do you that there won’t be any deals on this Mini any time soon (other than your suggestion for getting it direct from Very and qualifying for the new account discount). However, I really like the Heliguy offer of a 12 month free Care Package on the fly more combo.
Heliguy responded to my question on stock very quickly. The rush has been for the Mavic Mini Fly More combo specifically, they think that the pre-order sales will be satisfied within the first two weeks in January 2020.
Thanks @milkmanchris - I appreciate your efforts on my behalf. I considered the Argos entry yesterday. In the end I am holding off with them for a couple of reason, chief among which is that they are going to be next to useless should anything go wrong and I need advice. They are a tenner more expensive than the other retailers and everyone else is making the effort to offer incentives. I know it’s only a tenner, but I’m not actually in a desperate need. As you have pointed out, my location does not lend itself to “ideal conditions” at this time of the year and it may be better for me to go with someone who may deliver in the new year, but will be available with some level of subject matter understanding should I have a problem. Thanks again.
Plunge taken. I have gone with the HeliGuy deal and the free Repair Package. Just need to twiddle my thumbs for a couple of weeks. That’s the Mavic Mini with the Fly More combo.
