Default Camera Leather Contact Info

I hope somebody can help - I have ordered and paid for a cover for my M8, but have heard nothing from Camera Leather and no reply to my emails. Does anybody have a contact phone number for them - I am sure that this is just a glitch in the system. Thank you in advance.

By the way I've gone for the pink .......!

I have exactly the same problem. I placed an order with Camera Leather in April, paid immediately by PayPal and I'm still awaiting delivery.

Ian are you located in the that other continent, Over There, Across the Pond? If so it could be held up by customs. As to not responding to emails? Maybe something is wrong with Camera Leather.
When I ordered 2 covers for my M8's I got a prompt email saying they were not be offered at this time BUT they would be shipped ASAP after they became available. I had them within 2 weeks. Of course I'm on the Left side of the pond.

Yes, Shootist, it's probably because I'm on the wrong side of the Atlantic. I'll just be patient. And of course if Morgan's suffered a family bereavement, everything is explained and he has my condolences.

I was in touch with Morgan when we ere first talking about recovering the M8 - I'm completely sure you have nothing to worry about, Morgan is a man of his word.

The Seal Grain is leatherette which is not really a poor Seal but has the look and feel.

I read somewhere that it took at least 18 medium sized Naugas to upholster a typical mid-sized sedan so no wonder they became extinct.

Guy,
I saw your post and tried the number given above and got the same message that you did. I then tried to get new number for you from directory assistance. They have no listing for Morgan or Cameraleather in Burlington Vt.

Good luck,

Joe

I grew up near Naugatuck, Connecticut where the now extinct Nauga got its name and let me tell you, I'm glad it's extinct. The Naugatuck River has come back from being biologically dead and now has fish in it again, not colored chemicals.

Hello to Joe and all others.

I guess I will just hang tight and see what happens. It is really horrible to loose your Father so no wonder the ship is temporarily off the rails. My condolences.

Thank you for all your feedback.

Guy

Many months ago I had to wait for my M8 coverings. Morgan Sparks was very apologetic and explained he had illness in the family and was having to make regular coast to coast (I think) trips which meant he was away for long periods of time. I did receive my items, together with a thank you letter for being patient.

Bob.

Same here, I also got my kits and a thank you letter for the small delay. I have to say that Morgan's covers and service are first class, and his keeping working and fulfilling orders during such a difficult time are the best sign of this. I ham very sorry for his loss and hope he is well - as much as one can be in such times.
