Another method for Importaing from US - Maybe!

Hi All,

I came accross this company on the whirlpool forums. priceusa.com its run out of Australia and is Austrlian owned. I know others have mentioned box voyage in the past and other forwarding services. But priceusa offer one nice little feature the offer returns shipping insurance to cover warranty returns. I have not tried to work out what i might cost to import a telescope via this method. But considering the recent response from Celestron i got about EDGE HD pricing, i think this may actually still work out cheaper.

Local retailers are still best for most imports, however some imports are over priced due to high margins added by distributors. Celestron have cleary indicated that they will not excercise any restraint over local distributor. So i feel its fair go to find alternatives.


Note I have no affiliation with PriceUSA or Box Voyage or any other Astronomy vendor.

Regards
Fahim
