Best place to buy Skywatcher SW500?

[mbedsor (Matt)]

Hey Everyone,

Can anyone tell me where the best place to buy a Skywatcher SW500 online is? I've tried to get one through a local shop but after ordering it 2 weeks ago and then going in yesterday to see what's happening with it, only to find out they haven't even ordered the scope yet got me a little peeved. So yeah I may aswell order one from a site and wait for it to come!

Hi Matt,

I ordered my SW600 package from Andrews in Sydney 11am Sat and received it 11am Tuesday (3 days later). Free freight, helpful (phone) service, and far better price than I could find in Bris. You have to ring them though - can't order online.

Hi Matt
I believe MyAstroShop also sells the SkyWatcher brand.

Both shops will mail-order to you without fuss.
