Massive Discounts on Flagship Drones Raise Eyebrows
In an online shopping landscape where too-good-to-be-true deals often lead to skepticism, a recent promotion on Amazon featuring steep discounts on the DJI Mavic 3 Pro series drones has caught the attention of our DroneXL DJI Price Tracker. The discounts, which slash prices by more than half off of the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP), promise new units of the flagship DJI Mavic 3 Pro drone at a fraction of the cost, raising questions about the legitimacy and origin of these offers. Today, you can grab a DJI Mavic 3 Pro for $799 and a DJI Mavic 3 Pro Fly More Combo for $1,299 on Amazon.
UPDATE 03/07/24 at 16:03: DJI MAVIC 3 PRO DEAL HONORED BY AMAZON. HERE’S HOW TO GET YOURS FOR $799!
UPDATE 03/23/24: AMAZON SAGA CONTINUES AS MORE DRONEXL READERS RECEIVE REFUND ON DJI MAVIC 3 PRO PURCHASE!
UPDATE 03/05/24 at 17:25: I just spoke to an Amazon customer support manager. She told me not to worry, as nothing was wrong with the order. She confirmed that I should be expecting the DJI Mavic 3 Pro drone tomorrow before 10 pm. I explained to her that I had heard of canceled orders and that I was concerned about my order. Based on the experience of other people, it seems to have been a scam. If that turns out to be true, it is strange that the official DJI store and Amazon Prime are used to run the scam. I will update my experience here on DroneXL tomorrow. And, if needed, I will contact Amazon again to get to the bottom of this. Maybe, just maybe, a drone will show up tomorrow…🤞
UPDATE 03/06/24 at 13:43: As of yet, my order still shows to be delivered tonight before 10 pm. However, based on what I have heard from others, I have little faith in a DJI Mavic 3 Pro showing up on my doorstep. I have spoken to Amazon twice now and am getting very little help. In case I do not receive the drone and this ends up being a scam that involves the official DJI store on Amazon and Amazon allowing these kinds of scams to happen on their platform, I will contact Amazon again and ask them to deliver the drone that I bought for the price I paid. I’m not sure how successful this will be but I’m going to try regardless. I know that there are at least 40 to 50 other people among our readers who jumped on this deal as well. If you’d like me to speak to Amazon on your behalf, then please send me your contact info and Amazon order number through our contact form here. I’m not a lawyer, and I do not provide legal advice, so I’m not promising anything, but at the same time, I feel that Amazon bears some level of responsibility here and DJI as well. So, let’s see what happens and I will keep you up to date here on DroneXL. Fingers crossed!
UPDATE 03/06/24 at 15:31: My order got canceled as well… I am on the phone with an @AmazonHelp customer support supervisor. They say that they are very concerned about the large number of canceled orders and are looking into it. The case has been escalated, and the manager told me that Amazon will make this right. I explained that I am looking for Amazon to deliver the DJI Mavic 3 Pro to me, and that I’m not interested in a refund. I also explained that, with me, there are at least 40 more unhappy customers. Amazon said they would get back to me in a few hours. So, stay tuned for now. If you ordered one of the M3Pro’s send me your order number so I can let Amazon know. Please use the contact form on DroneXL.co.
UPDATE 03/06/24 at 16:09: Word is that some folks whose orders have been canceled are asked to buy the DJI Mavic 3 Pro again. Amazon will reimburse them the difference AND give them a $100 Amazon credit for the inconvenience. That would indeed make Amazon a Customer-First company!
Update 03/06/24 at 21:03: This email (see comments below) was sent to Amazon customer service and a person in HQ who supposedly deals with these kinds of situations. The case has also been forwarded to Amazon’s legal department. Fingers crossed that Amazon will live up to its principles!

Confirming Authenticity of the DJI Mavic 3 Pro Deals
We’ve looked into the matter thoroughly, reaching out to Amazon’s customer service to ensure the accuracy of these deals. A representative from Amazon has confirmed that the DJI Mavic 3 Pro and the DJI Mavic 3 Fly More Combo with DJI RC on offer are brand new. So, rest assured, these promotions are not for second-hand, refurbished, or previously opened items. Instead, they form part of a broader sales push by a reseller on Amazon.
The drones, sold by Rejawece, a reseller boasting a solid customer satisfaction rating, are described as eligible for return, refund, or replacement within 30 days of receipt, suggesting a confident backing of their condition and authenticity.
Details of the DJI Mavic 3 Pro Deals
The promotions include:
- The DJI Mavic 3 Pro Fly More Combo with DJI RC, featuring a flagship triple-camera system, 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad Camera, and a suite of accessories, is now available for $1,299, down from its original $2,999. This 57% discount significantly undercuts the usual market price.
- The DJI Mavic 3 Pro with DJI RC, known for its advanced imaging capabilities, 43-minute flight time, and 15km HD video transmission, is offered at $799, a substantial drop from the $2,199 MSRP, marking a 64% reduction.
Consumer Confidence and Final Thoughts
With the backing of Amazon’s customer service and the seller’s solid reputation, these deals, while astonishing, appear to be legitimate. The added reassurance of free returns and refunds further mitigates the risk for consumers, making these offers particularly enticing for those in the market for a high-quality drone.
While the dramatic price reductions on the DJI Mavic 3 Pro drones on Amazon may initially provoke skepticism, the confirmation of their new condition, coupled with robust consumer protection policies, suggests these deals represent a rare opportunity for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Are these deals too good to be true? It sure feels like it, however, based on our research, they seem to be legit, and with free returns, refunds, and Amazon customer support, there seems to be little downside.
We went ahead and bought a DJI Mavic 3 Pro with DJI RC for $799. It is scheduled to be delivered on Wednesday, March 6th. And we will report here on DroneXL to let you know if this is in fact a real, new DJI drone and not some refurbished, open-box, or used drone.
