Dear Ice In Spacer's,
Chris (Ausrock) has this basically correct.
I was contacted by the ACCC in my capacity as president of a major Australian astro society, they asked me if I knew these people.
The supplier's email address if you look at it ends with "ca", this is the absolute giveaway, he is in
"Canada".
This supplier is not in Australia, they rarely if ever answer your phone calls.
Plus when I checked with some wholesalers regarding products on their webpage they advised they do not have a relationship purchasing telescopes with them, so where are they getting stock from ??
Not very honest
Personally I always recommend purchasing from Australian businesses, not overseas crowds, but that's your call - as for me I wouldn't touch this supplier - their over use of Australia, Australia, Australia all over their webpage is a giveaway, isn't very Australian. They should be open an honest and call themselves "
Canadian Telescopes", that would be more honest.
I recommend honest suppliers that actually answer their phone, and are actually IN Australia.
Clear skies to you all.
