I ordered a TV Plossl from Bintel a couple of weeks ago. Ordered online on a Monday night, got the auto confirmation by email, but nothing after that to say the order was shipped/delayed/whatever. However, the package turned up at 8am on the Wednesday morning. I have also ordered from Astronomy Online with quick service and hope to have a telescope order in with Lee by mid April when the credit card is back down to an acceptable level.
I know it costs more to buy from the Aussie dealers but with the extra stress ordering overseas, I think it is worth it for most purchases (unless you are getting a really good deal overseas). One thing I would recommend to the Aussie dealers is to get their websites up-to-date. In quite a few cases the prices are outdated, specials aren't on there, and there is no indication of which items are in stock. The Internet provides a large proportion of their sales so they should make the effort to get the info up-to-date!
