Hmmm.  I've paid for two Levant leathers for an M4 and M3 recently. 

There was one hiccup, when I asked to delay on delivery because the M3
was in the mail and I wanted to check on dimensions before asking them
to ship.

When my M3 arrived, I told them to ship, and two weeks later, he
apologized and said that he had forgotten that I told him to ship.

I told them to ship Feb 18.  It's almost a month now, and no leather in
my mailbox yet.


Regards,

Vick Ko

Though we are sometimes quick to complain about companies and their
services on the list I feel completely justified to warn people away
from cameraleather.com:

I have a small collection of cheapo rangefinders - canonets and the
like. I ran across cameraleather back around the end of the year and
thought it was just what I needed for my cool little Yashica Electro 35
which had some bad gashes in the pleather.

I ordered a nice looking red leather kit for it and heard nothing for a
month. I wrote an email to the owner, M. Sparks, to see where it was and
was told that he had just finished the kit and I would have it in a
week. Another couple weeks passed with no kit in sight and I wrote back
and this time he backtrackes and told me that he had run out of that
color and forgot to tell me, it would be in within the next week.

By February - nothing, by March - nothing. I have asked him for my money
back but I feel entirely within my rights to pass on this story to warn
others of this so-called service.

Sorry for the negative vibes man,  but please think twice before dealing
with this guy.
