Disappointed on their behalf and slow actions.
Andrews is a discounter, consider how their business model works, they are a small shop and much of what they sell is held (probably) in a bonded warehouse (GSO, etc where they directly import), or by TASCO directly (in the case of Skywatcher products) perhaps in their bonded warehouse. So Andrews would not have access to a replacement base without requesting a unit from TASCO - in which case they (Andrews) then have to pay for it (without an order so its a cost on them for the entire scope assembly, import charges, etc).

Once Andrews sells a TASCO sourced product, if a warranty claim is made, then TASCO's process is invoked.
