Has anyone bought items from this shop?

Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone has gotten anything from this shop?
https://www.opticaluniversescientificinstrument.com/

Is it reliable/ reputable?

Their prices seems quite competitive?

Yes. I've purchased one Quark Daystar filter and GSO coma corrector from them. No issues.

i agree, the owner was very friendly when i put in a pre-order for a SkyWatcher AZ-EQ6 that was delayed due to COVID, although he took awhile when asked to provide photos of certain products/examples, but otherwise very helpful.

The owner, Sebastian Tai, is based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and in my experience, having met him over a meal prior to the pandemic as well as visited his shop in person, is quite a nice, helpful, and humble guy. He is a day doctor, but runs Optical Universe in his free time, and I believe there hasn't been any bad experiences from another that I know that has dealt with him so far. He is more than happy to ship to Singapore and service our local community here (he is also a subscriber of the forum here, you may look for him under SebastianTai).
