Seriously, who would buy from Overgaard with all these sh**y reports?

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Regarding the strap, I also find the Peak Design strap very comfortable, easily adjustable, and supporting good weight distribution if you carry a heavy combo. Especially if you use the bottom connector.

 

Regarding buying from Overgaard, I also tried once. Never again. I paid upfront, waited for months, never got any reply on my follow-up mails. Only numerous unwanted „great discount“ offers. I was successful in getting my money back via PayPal insurance. I was halfway successful in delisting from the spam, they still pop up here and there.

The only reason that he is responsive is his daughter, Ginevra. She has Luigi's correspondence firmly in hand.😇

Great!  His honest products deserve support!  I am sure that I also had direct correspondence with him over the years. He even told me about wife and the old times ...

So dunking on Thorsten’s e-commerce is easy.  He has a person handling it and apparently they are not doing a good job.  The products are good — I have a red strap for my M9-P and it’s beautiful.  Thorsten is doing a fantastic job with his site and workshops.  A one-man business has to sell itself and it’s tough, nothing wrong with that.  Just a pity that shipping and handling is damaging it when it would have been easy to fix.  I enjoy Thorsten’s writing and photography, he’s a real deal.  Let’s not overlook the art behind all those accessories.

As I read it that is exactly what happened and the poster let the PayPay time limit expire. 

Yes, I forgot that PP has a time limit for disputing - my fault.  But I never expected what I thought was a reputable site to simply not respond to a sales after a reasonable amount of time.  There was no further contact fromthe site; they basically took funds.  Not that much money but it taints the person behind the site.
