Leica SL is here

The M's come with an inner box which is used if the camera ever needs to go back for service.  Is there something like that for the SL body?

When I called to ship the M9 back for service in January, I asked if I should use the display box. "No, just the body.. Put the body cap on, take the battery and card out, wrap in plastic bag with your info, wrap that in bubble wrap, box that with a couple inches on all sides of packing peanuts. Don't send any pieces of the display packaging as they might get lost and we'd have to track them."

Exactly this. Leica tells you not to ship in the inner box. I have shipped many M's to NJ and Solmes and always use a regular box.

For those of you who have gotten your SL, is there a date code on the box like there is for the Q (http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/250305-availability/?p=2842874)?

 

What is your date?

Thanks for that information.  I have always shipped an M in the inner box, wrapped in a plastic bag,  plus bubble wrap, plus stuff (peanuts -- "ghost turds", or newspaper).  I didn't realize the trouble that causes in tracking, because of course I think my sick M is the only one being looked after...
