Should I start worrying?

[jaapv]

I sent my M3 to Shintaro in February for a paint job. I got an e-mail that it arrived. Since then no e-mail gets answered or the receipt returned :bang: Not that I sent that many, as I didn't want to harass him, but I did inquire if my payment arrived and asked politely how my camera was doing a few weeks ago. I even sent him a snailmail card (yes-with tulips on it) in case his computer broke down, but nothing.... 😕 🙄
I know he is not the worlds most accurate e-mail answerer, but, well,is there anybody out there with Shintaro-experience who can reassure me?

I think he sent it back to me. Or will do so.
Want an M2? 😛

 

[jaapv]

If it is an original black paint one - yes please.

G-man,

Are you still in for doing repairs? and repaints?


Jaap,

Contacted someone who got a nikon printed by Shintaro, the results are good and held up well.

I have dealt with many sellers for whom communication is NOT a strong point. This Shintaro sounds like one of many. I wouldn't worry. Well, I would, but you shouldn't bother worrying. I just have a habit of doing so. I'm worrying right now for no reason.

Jaapv,

Is it a M3 or SP?

Ah well, I'll start worrying about something else, like taxes, or the climate change or whatever. Thanks guys.

Going for a black paint job?

Reminds me of a guy I worked with at the Fiat shop. His standard line was "well, I can stand here talking to you, or I can get your car fixed . . . "

let me know if you need a reason to worry.. I've got plenty 😛

I belive Shintaro's turn-a-round time for painting is 3-4 months depending on how busy he is. English is not his strong point so communication would be spotty at best.

I'll let you know when mine comes back from CRR.
