Leica Q Delivery Times?


Recommended Posts

Advertisement (gone after registration)

Hello,

 

I ordered my new Q from a Leica dealer here in the UK last month. They said it will be around feb/march time for delivery.

 

Eager to get my hands on this special camera, I'm wondering why there are back orders/waiting lists for this camera, when compared

with the new SL which seems to be next day delivery.

 

I assume its because of demand/Lecia hand building production times?

 

Any ideas,

 

Nick

Find another dealer. The Q should be easy to find on the shelf att reputed dealers.

 

Or maybe not... Had a quick look at some sites and it seems to be backordered. That is strange, here in Sweden it is available today,

All the of Leica main dealers in the UK are pre-order, have checked.

Yeah, I find that strange. But you know something is a hit when it is still on backorder 7 months after it´s release. :) 

Good luck on getting the camera. I hope you find one soon.

I don't know if it helps, but I ordered my Leica Q from Red dot cameras on the 19th Jan. They estimate they might have one 'as early as late February'. 

 

They have six six people on the waiting list. 

 

The official london leica dealers are also sold out as is park cameras. 

 

Ebay nationally and internationally is also bereft of Qs.

 

patience is a virtue.

It looks as if (in the UK) Dale + Wilkinsons have a Q in stock today.

 

I just called them (28 Jan 2016) on their main number and Stockport branch. They don't have any in stock. Their computer shows it in stock, but when they checked it was on back order.

 

Their guy, Jo, will call me with an estimate.

Try some left of field as well, such as Harrods and Selfridges. I get particularly good service on Leica sales from Harrods

Have never tried Harrods website before; but not a mention of Leica cameras when searching.

I was also going to suggest German dealers and other European dealers who are reliable but you do miss out on the passport which is UK official only.

 

Try:

Stephens Manchester

Leica shop Mayfair

Leica shop Royal exchange (sometimes different stock)

Reddot

Richard Caplan

Harrods

Selfridges

London camera exchange

Ace cameras

Wilkinson

Dalephotographic

 

I have bought from all these guys - sad I know ;)

Are there really buyers out there who can't get hold of one in the UK.   How much more help do you need?
