Almost every piece of Leica gear that I've purchased has been used and out of warranty, but this year, I did purchase a new M240 and a lens (US, authorized dealer).
In its typically anachronistic approach, Leica requires that a post card, complete with fixed-space character blocks, be handwritten and mailed to the US headquarters to register new equipment. No online registration. So I completed the form, affixed a postage stamp in the correct denomination and handed it to the gentleman who walks house-to-house in wool pants 6 days a week in the hope that it will find its way to the proper authorities at Leica, perhaps to be forwarded to Solms where monks will enter my details into the parchment books.
So I wonder if Leica acknowledges this registration with any type of correspondence or notification? It's only been about 3 months, so perhaps it's my expectations are unrealistic, but I thought there would likely be some form of acknowledgment by now. I'm not looking for a suitable-for-framing certificate or a thank you note, just a confirmation.
