Well that's where it depends who you buy from. Bintel have aussie written instructions that include how to collimate, as well as a general guide to observing etc.

Andrews don't have this.

Bintel say this is the reason they charge more, as they also take the scope out of the box, collimate it, centre spot the mirror (if it needs it), etc.

It really depends whether you think that service is worth the extra $150 or not. Some may, some may not.. that's a personal preference and will depend on your knowledge and budget.
