He's always been prompt w/ me. Bill Vick Ko <vick.ko@sympatico.ca> wrote: 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.

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. Dave _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
