Does your uncle need a godson? Low-maintainence, very good boy. Does not shed fur or dirty the carpets.

dun worry la...i buy and sell so many scopes through normal airmail....it's pretty alrite.

In fact, they are safer than UPS guys because those guys need to rush so they tend to throw. You ask those Americans and you know.

Orion packaging is not bad.

That's only partly true -> for their UPS Ground (surface) service within the US, where the Americans sometimes do receive their parcels with holes in one corner etc...

But when it comes to international air shipments, they are definately first class. I've seen how they handle outgoing stuff. That's why I always entrust all my shipments to them.

Have got more than 10 packages via USPS airmail so far, with 100% delivery rate and no damaged items.

Anyway, its a good idea to wait for reviews from people who bought the second and third batches before committing. I am certainly hopeful, and really wishing that Synta/Orion will give makers of overpriced scopes (AP, TeleVue etc etc...) some sleepless nights
