Yes Thnx Ray, I know of them but dont use them, because they are rather expensive, a few hundred for something/s worth a couple/few Grand is well worth it. But I have just quote estimated pack & send for this scope to Sydney cost just as much as the scope ? see attached !
I have used Couriers-Please, they have a depot or two in each major city & i have sent another scope exactly like this one some yrs ago to Melbourne for only $100 give take 10
Prob with them now is I can not get a quote online as you have to be registered business & online member, its a pita travelling & taking gear to them 'packed' for a quote when an interested person asks, then changes mind.
Kind Rgds eh
