SVBony selected cameras on sale

Hello,

Perusing aliexpress this morning and I noticed the official SV Bony site has selected astro cameras at 40-50% off atm. The 105 at $64 and the 205 at $120.49 with free postage...

Other sites are also on sale, the Omni 32mm can be had for $28 including postage.

Could be some good discounts to be had leading up to Christmas if you need to get your significant other an unexpected pressie...

Has anyone got experiences, good or bad, ordering from the SVbony Aliexpress store?

They have the SV705C on special and that sensor seems to be causing a stir in the cheap and cheerful astro crowd at present.

SVB is usually efficient and reliable......

Aliexpress will delay post by "upgrading" your order to a combined delivery, if you have other orders in the system; so wait till tracking of your item indicates left the mainland between placing any other orders.

SVB's quick to get it away, but their packaging can be woefully almost non-existent (bubblewrap must be at a premium). I fail to understand why, if their mainstream business is optically driven.

I bought my guide gear direct from them. The shipping turned out to be more than calculated on their website, and there was a surprise 5% currency exchange tax as well.

Other than the financial quibbles, the gear arrived quickly and well packed.
