Ever since she first laid eyes on my standard version of the Mavic Pro and then saw what it's capable of, she stated, "I wish I had one of those of my own to fly."
Fortunately, I'm familiar with the workings of the minds of her and many other traditional Filipinas: they never demand. They merely hint -- and then patiently wait to see whether the recipient of the hint will make it happen.
Thankfully, she hinted far enough ahead of Valentine's Day that I was able to save enough to purchase the one that I know she is going to adore: the Alpine White.
Problem is, the "Combo" (see the pics) has been on sale throughout the holidays, and I was terrified that the sale would end before I'd save the entire amount of $1099, including shipping and sales tax.
Even more terrifying, I read on another site that Chinese New Year will begin on the 16th and last for two weeks, which is certain to slow shipments from Shenzen China.
As soon as I read that, I decided to go ahead and use a bit from the credit card. I sent the order to DJI on Thursday the 8th, and DJI notified that payment had been accepted on Friday the 9th. But would it ship in time for Valentine's Day, I asked myself, with heart palpitating.
A few minutes ago, I received notice that the order had been handed over to FEDEX in Shenzen.
The shipment is scheduled to arrive ..................................... wait for it...................................... on Feb 14, Valentine's Day, by 1030am.
