Are AOE (Aquila Optical & Electronics) still operational?

[chrisc (Chris)]

Hi everyone,

I've been browsing a few websites in search of some odds and ends (some filters, a new Barlow, +/- an eyepiece) and AOE have a couple of items I'm interested in.

They don't, however, seem to have a phone number, and have so far failed to respond to two e-mails a couple of days apart.

Do they still exist? Are they alive? Are they on holidays? Am I just an impatient git?

Any illumination would be appreciated.

Cheers!
Chris

they still exist, i bought some 15x70 ultra binos of them a couple of weeks ago - i have also had a few email responses from them - but not usually same day, it took them a couple of days... their advice is usually pretty honest i think. the fax no is fax to 02 9724 1984, but usually they are an internet business

Hi Chris,

I bought my 80ED from them. I found them to be very slow in the email response (about a week), and having no contact number was nerve wrecking and frustrating, but from my experience they will always answer you eventually.

Cheers,

Markus
