Big Thank You to IceTradeClassifieds Traders.

A big thank you to Andy Walters for sending me a great Canon lens and Andrew Walker for the 60mm Polarex/Unitron telescope advertised recently on IceTradeClassifieds. Both supersmooth transactions, fast delivery and absolutely great packing.

Good to hear Steve, especially after some of the less than glowing press we have had lately in the IceTrades. More so in that the Unitron deal was trans-Tasman.

I have had a lot of stuff bought from me, and sold to me from the classifieds. All transactions were trouble free.

A lot of the sellers/buyers have become very good friends.

I've never had a problem with buying from the classifieds.

In fact I have found all the sellers I have dealt with have gone out of their way to assist me.

Brian,
things here are great, coming into summer, so warming slightly. Cloudy as lately.
The trans-Tasman freight seems to be indifferent, sometimes quick, others not so. IIRC the Telementor was from the same Andrew too, correct. Great scopes, I love mine (an AS63/840 variant).

A big thanks to JamieP.
I just received the Meade derotator I purchased from him...within 24hrs of paying for the item. So very well wrapped and exactly as described BNIB.
I think this thread is a great idea. Even though 99.9% of purchases are probably without any hassle whatsoever, I do think when an item is sent quickly after payment, is packaged so very well and is as described then thanks are in order.

I think this thread has the ingredients to cook up an " IceTradersFeedback" Forum (IISITFF) ? Makes for a great acronym at least.
