wbesz Posted July 27, 2006 Share #1 Posted July 27, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just wondering what (international) shipping carrier Leica use when returning camera repairs? (I have just received a message that my M7 has been shipped) Thanks, William Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Hi wbesz, Take a look here what parcel carrier does Leica ship with?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
marknorton Posted July 27, 2006 Share #2 Posted July 27, 2006 At least for shipments within Europe, they use DHL which is owned by Deutsche Post. I imagine they use them for world-wide shipping too, mirrors my own excellent experience with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbesz Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted July 27, 2006 They have sent me a tracking number that does not appear to register with DHL tracking system Guess I will need to w a i t - a n o t h e r - 12 hours before I can contact Leica CS. Looking forward to see the new VF in my old M7. Thanks anyway Mark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted July 27, 2006 Share #4 Posted July 27, 2006 Well if it's not DHL, it's likely to be Fedex or UPS What have you had done to the M7 - new viewfinder magnification? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbesz Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share #5 Posted July 27, 2006 Well if it's not DHL, it's likely to be Fedex or UPS What have you had done to the M7 - new viewfinder magnification? Nothing bad. I bought my M7 nearly 4 years ago and so inherited the old viewfinder. After recently looking through a friend's current new M7, I could see mine needed immediate therapy. My M7 also had dust in the VF. Cheers, William Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek_stanton Posted July 28, 2006 Share #6 Posted July 28, 2006 William, i don't remember where you live: US or UK? I just (after 10 ridiculous weeks) received my 50ASPH from New Jersey. I believe they generally ship UPS 2-day within the US. Oops. Sorry - just noticed your profile: Australia.... So, i guess you're expecting your package directly from Solms.... In which case, i dunno, mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbesz Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted July 29, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I might mention that Solms responded immediately to my enquiry, with DHL as the courier. But DHL does not confirm the consignment number I have. 1) I guess Solms is a small town, and, 2) this is a weekend Gloom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hagen Posted July 29, 2006 Share #8 Posted July 29, 2006 No panic William. Each Leica finds its way home (earlier or later). I keep my fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted July 29, 2006 Share #9 Posted July 29, 2006 Normally, transit time from Europe to Oz with DHL is 2 - 3 days pus any customs clearance time. I'm surprised you cannot track the shipment but I'd say no worries, DHL are extremely reliable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hektor Posted July 30, 2006 Share #10 Posted July 30, 2006 William, Leica Camera AG uses DHL, however this is expensive and DHL charges a fee to clear Australian Customs. I instruct LC AG to post by Deutsche Post. It may take a few days more, but with less hassles. MfG Justin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbesz Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share #11 Posted August 4, 2006 Thanks for all you help in my parcel delivery concern. Before replying further, I decided to wait until the parcel arrived, which is today. It came as a "PREMIUM Paket" priority "Signature Required" Post, although there is a DHL stamp on the label. My original camera box was well embedded inside a LARGE box, super-packed, with 40.13 Euro freight cost. Being Friday here I am very happy to have my M7 returned for the weekend. The new viewfinder is great and almost appears clearer than my MP. Cheers, William Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hagen Posted August 4, 2006 Share #12 Posted August 4, 2006 Good news. DX coding is working? See you in Germany. Regards Wolfgang Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbesz Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share #13 Posted August 4, 2006 Good news. DX coding is working? See you in Germany. Regards Wolfgang Yes, optical DX decoder works fine, thanks. I thought I should trick it with an ISO 160 film (Fujifilm 160S), but it detected okay. I will bring it to Germany next month.

wbesz Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share #14 Posted August 4, 2006 I should have mentioned that this was my very first experience in sending a Leica product to Solms for service, and my experience is that of a first class operation, excellent!
