satureyes Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share #21 Posted February 10, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) This topic has gone very quite has anyone in the UK managed to get an M10 in the last couple of days? Don't think so. Managed to prise it out that I'm 16th on the list where I've paid a 2000 quid deposit. That's a good load of deposit cash sitting there and that's just for the silver models.

SiOnara Posted February 10, 2017 Share #25 Posted February 10, 2017 Well at least they are appearing. Unless it's cancelled orders. Which dealer? Sorry. Red Dot. I've moved down from 17th on the list so it's definitely moving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

@ndy_ellis Posted February 14, 2017 Share #28 Posted February 14, 2017 Red Dot told me today there was no movement on deliveries. I'm at 15 from 16 and even that (I speculate) is because a promised deposit did not arrive. They had an initial shipment of three blacks and three silvers and nowt since. Plenty of patience needed. Reassuringly nice people at Red Dot though - and it's not like I don't have an excellent camera already. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesT Posted February 17, 2017 Share #33 Posted February 17, 2017 Hi Mike, Sorry to disappoint but I was told that they only had one camera. May have been a cancelation?? My original quote of beginning of March may be still valid for their scheduled delivery. Hope you are lucky, Les Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaunD Posted February 18, 2017 Share #35 Posted February 18, 2017 Hi Mike, Sorry to disappoint but I was told that they only had one camera. May have been a cancelation?? My original quote of beginning of March may be still valid for their scheduled delivery. Hope you are lucky, Les I placed my order on the 19th Jan and so far my dealer has received just one camera to satisfy their list of pre-orders, they don't know when they will be coming a box just arrives. So now I am number 4 and I would be happy with the beginning of March I just wish Leica would tell us that. Surely Leica can provide an estimated time of arrival (ETA) for dealers to pass on to customers this is just good customer service. I run a High End HiFi retail business and we can always get an ETA from the manufacturers of equipment, sometimes it may be 3 months+ but at least it gives our customers and idea and they live with it. I feel sorry for the Leica dealers that must be plagued by calls from anxious customers but its not their fault its Leica's, I hope someone at Leica reads these forums and uses the feedback for continual improvement.....not just to the cameras.

}{B Posted February 18, 2017 Share #36 Posted February 18, 2017 My quoted delivery time from Leica Manchester is eight to twelve weeks from 25th January. Which would take it to the end of April at the far end of that quote but even then nothing was guaranteed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same every time. I think if people have placed a deposit they should be given a 'built by' date. A camera should be assigned to them as soon as the pre order is placed. If they don't want to pay a deposit then I think it's fair that they go on a 'when it's ready' list but for those who have paid I think it's courtesy to allocate a pre build camera to that person. It makes it very difficult for forecast spending and kit upgrades as a professional if there is all this smoke and mirrors surrounding the cameras. It's the same every time though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Leica Manchester are like my local dealer then Leica will not have told them that delivery date. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
satureyes Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share #39 Posted February 18, 2017 Oh and I'm bored of the 'Leica apologists' who think this method of production/delivery etc is acceptable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlaing Posted February 18, 2017 Share #40 Posted February 18, 2017 The method of production and delivery is acceptable. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
