There is also Skies Unlimited that I have not personally ordered from, but seems to have high praise. After it took them longer to get in than they wanted, they just bought it for retail price from another retailer who had it in stock, and sent it to me. They handled it by not only sending me a shipping label to send it back (just like Amazon), but testing it in the field to verify the problem, and then testing it against the replacement to make sure the replacement wouldn't have the same defect.Īlso, I bought a TeleVue Paracorr from Astronomics even though I knew it was backordered (since they give you a 5% discount for being a Cloudy Nights member). I bought an expensive eyepiece from them that ended up having a defect in it (not their fault). I've ordered multiple items from all of these retailers and have always had as good or better prices than Amazon, usually free shipping, fast delivery, and great customer service.Īgena Astro is particularly awesome. r/telescopes aims to be a high quality sub where users can discuss all things telescopes and astronomy, but allowing such repetitive and low-effort posts will drastically lower the overall quality of the sub.Īstronomics, Agena Astro, High Point Scientific, B&H Photo, Eyepieces Etc, and OPT Corp are trustworthy, offer great customer service, and are sometimes cheaper than Amazon (and often offer free shipping most of the time).
