Go through Opticsplanet or OPT for SV gear. Postage is pretty reasonable if you bundle a few things.

When I enquired about shipping some items, direct from SV to Australia, the girl/woman at the other end said:
"We don't normally ship to Africa"
"No. OZTRaayLEEah'
"But that's part of Africa Isn't it?"
"No. Its on the other side of the world in the southern hemisphere"
"Isn't Africa in the southern hemisphere" etc. etc. etc.

Also they won't take a credit card for a first time purchase.?!

Great scopes though.
Sadly the above ignorance isn't laughable at all, they dictate/export their 'democracy' and ethics etc. to a world of which they have no knowledge or comprehension!

Cheers
