Telecaster Posted November 7, 2022 Share #1 Posted November 7, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi all, I just tried to order the new M6 here in Germany. So far no store including the Leica Online Store can ship it. Has anybody here ordered and received a new M6 already? What's the trick? 🙂 Tx.

Huss Posted November 7, 2022 Share #2 Posted November 7, 2022 One lucky soul here got one. I placed and paid for my order the day it was announced, and just got an email from the dealer saying sometime next year! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I would've given them money with no guarantee of when it becomes available. They're effectively holding your money for months! I put myself on the Miami Leica wait list.

But I ordered it from the UK just after the pound collapsed which made the exchange rates very favorable. But... not so keen on the no idea when they'll get them message. So we'll see. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJH Posted November 8, 2022 Share #11 Posted November 8, 2022 I ordered mine on the UK Leica site yesterday morning and it will arrive on Wednesday and has been shipped from Germany. For about 45 minutes they were available but unusually quite early in the day, so I suspect people might not have seen their ‘in stock’ emails until too late. I think I might possibly be one of the first in the UK/Europe. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewl Posted November 8, 2022 Share #14 Posted November 8, 2022 Purchased mine at calumetphoto in Germany (online) (paid already). The website says ready to ship in 5-15 business days. Gave them a call as well but they do not have detailed information. So keeping my fingers crossed they will receive some bodies from Leica in the upcoming 2 weeks! But to be honest, I am not that confident If I read this post 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A matter of 30 seconds. if they’re not in limited supply I’ll wait a while for the rush to die. Edited November 8, 2022 by OThomas Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they have no idea when they are getting any. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Official Leica dealers already have paid orders from 2 weeks ago, but Leica is ignoring those and shipping to whoever happens to click on their store the morning they get an announcement?

Official Leica dealers already have paid orders from 2 weeks ago, but Leica is ignoring those and shipping to whoever happens to click on their store the morning they get an announcement? I can't recall what I was looking to buy, but whatever it was the Leica USA site showed it as 'in stock' and the dealer I was trying to purchase from didn't have stock and couldn't tell me when they'd have any. I naively said "But Leica's own site says they have them in stock, can't you just get one from them?' to which I was told 'That's not how it works'. Apparently, Leica allocates stock to dealers using some sort of strategy and keeps some stock for sale through their own site. And Leica dealers can't just order stock from Leica when they run low. Since Leica maintains its own e-commerce operation and the dealers I tend to buy from aren't local to me anyway, I'm not sure what the advantage is of buying from said dealers. Theoretically, it's more personalized service but that's certainly not always the case. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
