Naz Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I was wondering if there was any point on having a section on your experiences ( good or bad ) with dealers. Who would you recommend? Have you had any problems, non delivery / no response to queries, goods not as described.?I see that a few other forums have similiar features, as some off our imagers who use the UKAI site know.nabban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I know the section you mean on UKAI. It probably would be useful as a guide. We'll look into it for you.Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OXO Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Nah Top Bloke!.South West Optics are a good dealer fast and eager to listen and prices are quite good.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naz Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Although I heard their boss is a bit of a git. A git? I don't believe it.From the dealers point, I suppose they should be able to post about good / bad customers.nabban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Hi All,Great to deal with - friendly advice etc.Scopenskies (Maria) / Sherwoods (Matt) / Scopestuff (Jim) / Altair Astro (Nick) / Venture scope (Ninian) / Modern Astronomy (bern) / OVLNot so good to deal with - Poor service / not happy to advise.SCS Astro (if only Orion USA knew!!). Green Witch (funny one to deal with.. never call you back!)David Hinds comes somewhere in the middle!!!Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambermile Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Hmm - only dealt with SCS the once, couple of years ago. Very helpful they were too. Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinB Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Just tried Beacon Hill Telescopes to see if they could sort out a counter weight for my Tal (not available on its own). Barry is bending over backwards to sort this out cheaply and couldn't have been more helpful. Have had a good look at there site. Looks like high quality kit at increadibly reasonable prices. Worth a look for anyone after a robust, non goto mount or a newtonian.Bern at modern astronomy, patience and serious expertise.Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
