very excited and high hopes but...

[wood man]

I ordered the inspire dec 15/14 thereabouts with dual controllers and a spare battery and agreed to a price,it was ordered.
last night I was emailed that my order was close but the price is way way up because of our dollar falling.
So much for ordering ahead .
I am very disappointed, guess it was not supposed to happen and that's probably why my phatom 2 loaded never sold.
I was right into everything ,binder of printed threads ,check lists ready to order the displays

I am in southwestern Ontario and I ordered from oculusrc which used to be multirotor Canada out of bowmanville ontario. I received pricing nov23 2014 and ordered an inspire one dual controls and a spare battery ,we commnunicated dec 1 again and the dealer said as soon as the product is shipped he needed the full amount, no problem I said
I contacted him a few times to see how my order was coming along and he said its coming but slow .then I got an email last night telling me that it could ship but he is looking for an extra 400.00 and I don't think that the battery.
I thought a quote was a quote, I am surprised and disappointed

Anyone still on a long wait list I'd recommend just canceling your order and finding one that's in stock elsewhere. I ordered pretty late, (DEC 31) then was on a long wait list on Amazon. After getting antsy I saw CopterShop had them in stock around January 19th, ordered mine and had it 2 days later. Cancelled amazon order and got full refund. I'm not sure exactly who has them in stock now but I imagine as the weeks have gone by they must be getting easier to find.

I ordered mine from Amazon (Sonic Copters) Monday evening and received it yesterday. Seems they are in stock now.

 

[wood man]

the problem is that because of our falling dollar the full inspire dual battery and charger is going to be up
about 450.00 compared to what I was quotted.
I have all the emails on a price agreement and now when they are being shipped mine order is changed, I don't
think thats right a quote is a quote

I would encourage you to fight it! Pre-order prices are locked in for those who PRE-ORDER. Stop payment if necessary.

I would cancel my order with them and order from somewhere else.

I agree.
Take a look at www.multirotorheli.ca
I ordered end of December when it was listed at $3299. When it arrived, the price had gone up to $3392 but I still got the previous pricing.
Granted...that's just for single controller.

I had bought my phantom2 and other things from him so he never asked me for money down, he knew I was good for it
from many previous dealings.
I like the company his shipping was fast but he was hard to get a hold of then throught email, then he dropped the name multirotor Canada to oculusrc
out of bownmaville Ontario
Its to bad because I could have pre-ordered form at least 2 other suppliers that would have not done that and I picked him over a 50.00 savings
guess that greed did not pay off

Not this time Wood Man...but hopefully it'll serve as a cautionary tale for anyone else.
I had a rocky start with Multirotorheli, but things worked out well in the end.

 

[wood man]

the multirotorheli you wrote about are these the guys in western Canada?
I might have to buy there

They're based here I'm Calgary. Still had a couple units left when I talked with him yesterday.
I think there's going to be a delay in further shipments because of Chinese New Years...

 

[wood man]

would you buy again?
secondly I am sort of turned off ,I had the phantom ,sold it and now have the phantom 2 fpv 3d gimbal and its not selling so maybe the writing is on the wall.this mess has cost me 450.00 .
I should have went with great hobbies PEI it would have cost a bit more at that time but now I would have been laughing I would had it,
instead I went with multirotor bowmanville (now called oculusrc) and I don't have one and if I want one its 450.00 extra

 

[GenesisKnight]

I bought my second one from him less than a month after the first.
...I plan to use commercially, so reduncy was required.

 

[wood man]

ok thanks ,if I buy I will go through them and stay away from the Toronto area

 

[wood man]

things did work out ok, I lost about 100.00 better than 450.00 there is no place one can get a deal on these now
with our dollar falling

 

[GenesisKnight]

Where did you end up buying from?
