Pretty Unhappy

I've had a little toy 70mm table top dob for a while now and I decided about a month ago to upgrade to a bigger scope. I bought a 130mm Sky-Watcher GOTO scope from OzScopes on special.

Much to my dismay the hand controller was broken out of the box, I can't help but feel that this is pretty poor QC, surely they power things up once at the factory.

I returned the hand controller almost three weeks ago now and I know they have had it for two full weeks. So almost four weeks after my initial order I still haven't got a functioning scope. OzScopes has done the old "we're waiting for the supplier to replace/repair the hand controller" but they are the retailer, if the supplier is slow that's a matter between them, it's a brand new telescope and it's just a very large and heavy paperweight right now. I was planning for my first dark site trip this weekend and now that's clearly off the cards.
