Amazing service - Review by vanessa robinson
Overall Score
I purchased this telescope as a Christmas present for my brother. This year we celebrated Christmas early due to some family going away. I was a little concerned I would not receive it in time. I was more than pleasantly surprised to have it in my possession in less than 48 hours. Plenty of time to spare.

As for the product itself my brother could best answer that. However I can say that he sent me a text, and in words that I can use in this review, he enthusiastically said it was amazing. And now the skies are clear I have no doubt he will continue to enjoy his new toy.

Kind Regards
