Be very careful when buying any go-to telescope from overseas. Neither Celestron nor Meade allow their US dealers to export these telescopes, and they will not honor your warranty if they find that you have purchased from the US. There are legitimate business reasons for this, as it costs considerably more to handle an overseas warranty claim. This is why these telescopes cost more in some markets than in others. You do actually get something of value for that higher price: a warranty.
If you do purchase one of these telescopes from a US dealer, be sure to get a written explanation of how a warranty claim would be processed. The safer route, as has been stated above, is to purchase these items locally.
