You did register for the free filters on the web site, didn't you?

 

Sending the warranty card to New Jersey doesn't do anything for the filters.

 

 

It took me about 2 weeks to receive them in Texas; they came FedEx.

Hi -- first post, but been reading for quite some time. I ordered the filters online on 29 November and they were shipped Fedex from Germany on 19 December. They arrived in Seattle on 22 December, but weren't delivered until the 30th -- because of the crazy snow here.

 

One question -- on the Proforma-Invoice they state the country of manufacture as Japan, but on the outside of the filter it says Germany and on the box it says "Made in Germany"?

 

Thanks for all the information I've gleaned from the forum.

European law: The country of origin on the product does not neccesarily reflect the country of manufacture, but the country of the company that takes manufacturer's responsibility.

I ordered my filters at around the same time as the OP and have not received mine either. I documented some of my experiences in this thread.

My understanding is that at the time the owners' section of the Leica website was not functioning properly after being down for maintenance for several days. It is possible that you have been caught up in the same situation.

 

I have had some further e-mail correspondence with Solms in which they asked first for my address and then a couple of weeks later for my telephone number. These have been supplied, although I do wonder why Leica could not have asked for both at the same time.

 

My last e-mail to Leica before Xmas got an out of office response stating that the recipient would not be back until 8 January.

 

As you can imagine, I am somewhat frustrated that I have had to wait more than two months for my filters and there is still no indication of when I will receive them. First the website was unavailable and then the order seems to have disappeared into a black hole.

 

Regards

 

Mike
