Hi
Maybe you guys are right. Those privateers may be more
trustworthy with Ms and Flexes than Leitz. I called up monday morning
for some parts. What I got was a recording from the parts department
saying there would be no one there until the 27th. Meanwhile I'm trying
to decide
if a wrecked camera is worth buying but I can't close the deal because I
don't
know how much the parts will cost. Leitz parts prices are very
unpredictable so you have to
ask less you like surprises. Anyway I told them it was an emergency and
the
receptionist transferred me around until I finally wound up talking to a
guy whose job is
apparently to tell people no. He said he couldn't do it and there was no
one else there who
could until next monday. What a disgrace! heluva way to run a business.
I thought I was in a
government office! I can understand  understaffing induced by budget
constraints and I
can also understand people wanting to take a week of for Thanksgiving
but there is no excuse
for allowing an entire department to remain unattended for a whole week.
There were at least 3
people there and none of them could acomplish the simpleset task of
looking up a part
price on a computer screen or datasheet. Guess they don't communicate
much amongst each other.
maybe they just don't care. I wish they would put me in charge of NJ for
a week. There would be
some fundamental changes right quick!

Regards
Javier
