Well..it's here, pristine condition, not a mark at all (ex display stock). Ordered on the 8th delivered on the 14th of this month. Not bad.
No case though. In hindsight for the few extra dollars maybe that would have been nice, still I cannot complain. Maybe one of those Pelican knockoff cases would suit.
All up cost was $408Aust. It should have been around $398Aust (sale price was $338USD) but this variance is probably due to poor bank exchange rates and maybe bank OS transaction fees.
Cannot complain really. EMS shipping could be tracked easily although you tend to loose tracking if it is put on more than one flight to get to the destination. Mine went from Taipei to Bangkok and then to Melbourne. I could track it to Bangkok but not from there on.
Once it arrived in Melbourne I could track it. After melbourne, Aust post courier delivery. All is good.
Thanks for the OP for the orignal post on this and to all the others who had input. You have saved me a bundle and I got a fine scope indeed!
