My tactic when 'smuggling' illicit camera gear into the UK is to dispose of all boxes and carry the camera on its strap like an old friend.  After all you were on a trip and took your camera with you when you left your home country didn't you?  Then you are likely safe from the taxman and the other half - "no dear, not new, I've had this ages, I'd show you the box it came in, but you threw them out with the recycling, remember?" (yes my wife does that - I had to rescue the box for my old Q2 from the recycling for trade in...

Only thing is for Leica you lose some value when you don't have the original boxes.

It appears that the most recent response to this post was in May of 2023 almost a year ago.  Some people got them, and some did not.  Does anyone have any current information on when Leica is going to begin shipping new Q3s to the U.S.  I am on a number of wait lists, but none of the camera stores seem to have a clue.  I tried Leica U.S.A, but they never responded.  I have been waiting since December of 2023 and I know there are people out there that have been waiting much longer.  Just curious if any has heard anything recent.

Look up local ADs and call them. I don’t believe there’s a stock shortage anymore except maybe the two big guys in NYC.

I ordered mine from Robert’s in Indianapolis and they had one for me in a couple of weeks, just last month. No relation except as a satisfied customer.

Any recommendations on which Leica store seems to get them to the customers quickest?  I put my name in with a few stores, although one of the Leica stores in New York told me they already had 300 people on the list!

Leica SF called me with one in stock about a month after I put my name on the list; I had, by that time, already found one calling around smaller dealers.
