ramosa Posted November 4, 2015 Share #545 Posted November 4, 2015 Herrington seems pretty sketchy to me (see: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Herrington_Catalog). And I'm not swayed by the comments in this thread by a few people who have very few posts on LUF. (It reminds of Trip Advisor when you find super positive comments about bad hotels, and the posters are new to the site without other posts.) Pardon my skepticism. Maybe I need a second cup of coffee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar888 Posted November 4, 2015 Share #546 Posted November 4, 2015 Picked up my Q yesterday. Miami Leica is receiving 5 to 10 per month. Allocation is spotty. Leica stores receive priority. Hopefully, inventory will increase. Good luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would extend their Leica products line not just advanced amateur, I would for sure go back to them again (I'm a long time BHphoto/Adorama customer too but in this particular item, they're way behind in stocking).

Maybe I need a second cup of coffee. The second cup of coffee sounds good I'm not one to cavalierly offer up $4250 to unknown sources simply from the lure of a quick delivery. I have made numerous previous purchases from Herrington, some of them large purchases. They have sold Leica products for many years and I suspect they have a good relationship with Leica. Buyers can choose who they wish to purchase from, though it appears to me at the current count there are at least four people who purchased and received their Q from Herrington with no sketchy issues.

marchyman Posted November 4, 2015 Share #550 Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) Hope for those on the B&H waiting list. Today I got notice that the Q I ordered on 6/21 shipped. I should receive it Monday. It's going to be a long weekend Edited November 4, 2015 by marchyman Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony_K Posted November 4, 2015 Share #551 Posted November 4, 2015 It is interesting how these shipments get allocated. The place I got mine from (Hunt's) told me they were only getting 1 a month going back to June although they thought that the quantity would start to pick up. They also told me I was now number four on the waiting list, but if I prepaid, I could move to number one since no one else had paid. If I did this, I would get the next one that came in. I figured worst case is it will take a month and I made sure they wouldn't charge me a restocking fee for an item I never received if I changed my mind, so I thought it was worth a try. I guess my timing is good because I paid on Friday and they received one on Monday and there I was at the top of the list. It's sitting at home waiting for me to get back from the business trip I am on right now. I guess i don't understand why some of these dedicated camera stores that cater to enthusiasts and pros alike would get so few shipments. If Hunt's, which is very reputable but more of a regional chain, is getting one a month, how many is B&H getting? I also had a pre-order at B&H but I spoke to several people who all seemed to wait at least a few months for B&H to ship. They pre-ordered in July and the cameras are just coming in now. I guess it is definitely worth calling around to some different places but hopefully, this problem will soon be a thing of the past and supply will catch up with demand.

Manoleica Posted November 6, 2015 Share #555 Posted November 6, 2015 A ? -- are these big online stores selling the Q through retail outlets? - keeping the online buyers waiting.. (cash in hand theory)... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted November 6, 2015 Share #556 Posted November 6, 2015 Wilkinsons in Lancashire appear to have the Q in stock today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AidanH Posted November 7, 2015 Share #557 Posted November 7, 2015 Can't believe my luck: I picked mine up yesterday from Broadway Camera in Vancouver – I called on Monday to put my name down, and got a call back Tuesday morning to say they had had one camera come in. I'll be eternally grateful to them for holding it for me until Friday. I'd recommend them for anybody in the greater Vancouver area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

F5top Posted November 11, 2015 Share #559 Posted November 11, 2015 Posted 26 October 2015 - 19:50 F5top, on 26 Sept 2015 - 22:56, said: Long time lurker first time post. Thought I would finally sign up and throw in my queue status to compare with everyone else. Preordered and paid two thirds of the total price on the Q 28th of August at the Leica Store in San Francisco. They informed me to expect a wait time of 4-5 weeks. Went back today (26th of September) and paid off the remaining balance. I'm still getting quoted a 4 week waiting period and I'm more than halfway up the waiting list. Good news is the Leica Store sales rep said production has been ramped up and they're getting around 4 copies every shipment biweekly. I've only had a good hour with the Q but it felt so magical it became a must have! Hopefully I'll get a surprise notification like some of you guys did. *crossing fingers* update 26.10.2015: Called up Leica Store SF to check upon my paid in full preorder status. I'm now 9th on the list and they're estimating two more weeks as they're now getting in a healthy amount of stock. Two solid months waiting, hopefully just two more weeks (or less). Update 10 November 2015: Finally received my copy of the Q on the 3rd of this month from the San Francisco Leica Store. That makes it 2 months and 6 days on the preorder wait list. Build date is 2015/10/21 Looks like they're becoming more available in a lot of different outlets now. Good luck to everyone still awaiting their copies. Patience will pay off.

eaurouge_spa Posted November 11, 2015 Share #560 Posted November 11, 2015 The six week wait is finally over. Collected mine from Leica Singapore last Friday. Production date was 27 October. I guess they ship it as fast as they make it. Got a grip to go along with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
