Eric1 Posted May 17, 2017 Share #1141 Posted May 17, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) You can order a lens or camera directly and it could be defective still. Where you get it matters less than if it works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 Hi Eric1, Take a look here Availability?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Eric1 Posted May 17, 2017 Share #1142 Posted May 17, 2017 What if Customs drops your M10 package on the way and it messes with the camera or leaves it in a hot environment and exposes it too extreme heat. Anything could happen to a camera or lens before it gets to you. Ive seen up close how Amazon handles packages, sometimes they throw stuff on the porch.

That's not Amazon throwing stuff on your porch. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtwo Posted May 17, 2017 Share #1145 Posted May 17, 2017 That's not Amazon throwing stuff on your porch. Doesn't Leica New Jersey, Chingchou, Wetzlar, et al require a signature for delivery? That would restrict package throwing to a minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric1 Posted May 17, 2017 Share #1146 Posted May 17, 2017 Lol...minimum package throwing is all you can hope for. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I hate it when those Amazon dudes throw the boxes on your porch. Worse is when they deliver with the drone but are in too much of a hurry to land, so they just drop it from 75 ft up. #amazonusesuspsfedexandupstodeliver 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee I hope so. But what's that got to do with FedEx, UPS, various post offices. DHL and every other monkey throwing packages around before you even see them? It's not the vendor doing the rough handling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric1 Posted May 17, 2017 Share #1151 Posted May 17, 2017 I have no idea where this is coming from. I bought my silver M10 from CameraLand and the camera itself came straight from Leica NJ. Isn't Leica New Jersey a repair shop though? Was your camera new? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but in the interest of calming your nerves, I spent a half hour inspecting and evaluating an M10 demo unit yesterday in NYC and it is a freaking TANK. You'll be fine. If not, Leica will repair it in Germany in four to five months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlaing Posted May 17, 2017 Share #1153 Posted May 17, 2017 Calm my nerves? I've been using Leica cameras and lenses for 45 years. That has nothing to do with who is mishandling the packages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AandW Posted May 17, 2017 Share #1154 Posted May 17, 2017 I ordered the M10 from Vistek in Toronto on January 23rd. Today they phoned me with an update from Leica that delivery was now pushed back to the end of June. Previous update was for late May and an earlier update (in February) was for the end of April. The Canadian Leica rep was in their store today showing their full product line and I had a chance to speak with him. The only information he added is that North America, in general, is not getting a lot of M10s (relative to orders). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems odd North America is being signaled out, especially since it's a strong market for luxury products. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
