When I first got my 400mm f/6.8 Telyt in 1980 or so, I ordered from the store, store told E. Leitz NY where to send it, I got my lens. Only they didn't ship the next day, and it was from a national distributor, not Wetzlar. I was glad it wasn't from Wetzlar, it took long enough as it was to ship from NY to Alaska.
