5 Star Service.
Last Thursday night, July 30th, I ordered a Meade DSI Pro with AutoStar suite from B&H Photo in the USA, hoping to get it in time for Astrofest, but thinking I may have left it a bit too late. It was shipped UPS Worldwide Saver. There was a public holiday in the US last week, but on Sunday night, I got an email saying that it was ready for despatch, with a disclaimer saying if today is a Sunday or Public Holiday, it will be shipped the next working day.
"Good," I think to myself, "it should be here by mid next week, and I leave for Astrofest on Thursday, no worries!!"
TODAY Tuesday 4th, at 3pm it was delivered by courier!! That's less than 5 days, including the week end and a public holiday.
The cost was US$228, + about $60 post, or at today's rates of exchange, about A$345.
If anyone's in the market for a similar piece of gear, I can certainly recommend B&H Photo.
