I dont think I would ever purchase a telescope overseas, its to big and you need some customer support....eyepieces and small accessories.....yes I would....
Just for instance I got a price for the Celestron 19mm Axiom 2" priced at $445...here localy...overseas they are priced at $245 AUS + Postage of around $40 AUS...saving of $160 AUS....even bigger saving if you purchase multiple items making shipping cheaper per item......I tend to like buying overseas......like I said previoulsy we ended purchasing 3 bottles of expensive perfume includding post from overseas for the price of 1 here at Myers......
As far as Bintel and andrews....yes they both are great....they have serviced me well and I will continue using both retailers for certain items...
