Sirius Optics. Experience?

Hello.

I bought an Orion bag from Sirius back in November and was told a shipment was coming in mid December. I have emailed them multiple times since then and haven't heard back from them. I understand about the Christmas and New Years period but we are 12 days into the new year and not sure what I should do.

Has anyone bought from them before?

Stefan.

Lots. Was there Saturday. Rest assured, Ron will fulfil the order, just give him time. He is a one man shop.

I've bought a number of things from Ron & co at Sirius. I've had good, friendly service every time. I have however had an experience like yours where something took quite some time to come back into stock, but that wasn't any fault of Sirius. They appear to be at the mercy of the international bulk freight system which appears to have its nuances and inconsistencies. Rest assured, your item will come in :-)

Give him a ring if you can Stefan. Ron is the real deal and there will be a reason you haven't heard.

Didn't someone order an eq8 there from the first drop and didn't get it ?
They gave it to someone else?
It was so all long ago.

Haven't heard back since the last email a few weeks ago, might send another within the next few days.

I made a purchase last week, just a Meade 505 connector cable set, but he was very polite to deal with, knowledgeable, I will go back and purchase again from him.

Hmmm, send a second email. Ron replied promptly, and supplied promptly just last week a mount hub pro.
