I have had problems with choosing the wrong part and they were happy to exchange without and question.. As with all suppliers you will always find somone who has not bben happy with thier service, however if you work on ave you will find these two dealers are very well respected and you can't go wrong.. I won't go into detail about the other dealers here in Adelaide, other than in my mind they no longer exist.

As a fellow Adelaidian, Adelaidite?
I do find it difficult to find a reputable dealer. I'm glad you've had generally good experience with interstate dealers. It's reassuring.
I'd also much like to hear about your experiences with Telescopes and Astronomy and the other local 'dealers' as it's good to know what's going on in my own backyard. I'd appreciate a PM if you feel more comfortable with that. As I'm trying to get a full rounded picture of what is out there, you can be assured that anything said would be in confidence.
Also; thanks to Geoff for your input. It's nice to have word from someone who's been into the actual retailer for both Bintel and Andrews. A nice contrast.
