Are a complete ripoff!

Get the celeston EdgeHD then get it shipped from the USA or go treat yourself to a nice holiday and pick it up. Plenty of god re-sending agents over there.

Warranty. On the OTA, not a bit deal. If you damage it, then its covered by insurance.

FYI - I recently applied for a Celestron dealership here in NZ and the wholesale prices are HIGHER than the retail in the USA. Again complete ripoff partly due to Sheldon &Hammond being the Celestron agents for Aussie and NZ and not passing on fair prices to retailers.

I think Lee Andrews is doing good prices. Worth looking into.
