Leica Japan: Leica Q3 orders far exceed our expectations and deliveries may take some time



Leica Japan issued a notice that Leica Q3 orders have far exceeded expectations and deliveries could take some time:

[Important] Notice of “Leica Q3” supply status

Thank you for using the Leica Online Store.

We are currently receiving orders for the Leica Q3 that far exceed our expectations worldwide, so it is taking some time to deliver. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to our customers.

We will deliver the products one by one, but it is expected that you will have to wait for a long time. Please understand that it is difficult to give an answer at this time regarding the delivery time.

Customers who have made a reservation will receive an email from the Leica Online Store with instructions on how to purchase the product as soon as the product is ready.
We are very sorry to have kept you waiting for the product, but we ask that you please wait until we inform you.

In addition, we cannot answer inquiries about products reserved at the online store.
Please contact the online store.

Thank you very much.

In the US the situation is similar – currently, Leica Q3 pre-orders placed on the day of the announcement are being shipped.
