There are people in line ahead waiting for their quotes too. And maybe the not working on Friday is an arrangement Leica did to have a repair person available at all. The work load has to pay for itself. It's not a charity, they have to make money. Their business decisions have to be based on what's good for them, not us. As frustrating as that is for all of us, I'd rather they have a repair person that works at all, then have a bunch of people sitting around just waiting for a camera to come in that means no waiting. It's a real balancing act. Five days for a quote sounds like standard in the industry as far as I can see. >As it turned out, after sufficient prompting from yours >truly, they got back to me on the following day.
