DELIVERY
Delivery can be made to UK addresses. Worldwide delivery is possible and will be charged at cost. Please call for further information. All goods must be signed for by an adult aged 18 years or over on delivery.

PAYMENT
We prefer payment by Paypal. If you wish to pay by cheque, a minimum of 5 working days clearance time before goods are dispatched. Only send cash by Special Delivery post in a strong envelope. Paypal, Cash, Bankers Draft and Building Society cheques ensure immediate dispatch of products in stock. Goods in stock are dispatched immediately after payment is taken where possible. Payment is not deducted for goods out of stock, until they are ready for dispatch when payment and delivery charges, will be deducted (unless they are a part order paid for by cheque). We accept deposits to secure telescopes and accessories not in stock, but payment in full must be received within 10 working days of notification of their arrival (unless agreed otherwise at time of placing deposit). Official orders from recognized and approved institutions are accepted. We will confirm the price of goods and carriage (If Applicable) at the time of your order together with your order (Id) number, and the total price of your order including VAT. If the order is received by 1 pm, and the goods are in stock, we will do our best to dispatch the same day. Delivery will usually take 1-3 days, depending on the specific order. If there is a delay in our dispatch of your order, we will advise you accordingly. In the event that delivery to you would be greater than 30 days, we will also advise you of this, and ask if you wished to proceed with the order. The price you pay is the price displayed on this website at the time we receive your order. While we try and ensure that all prices on our website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of goods you have ordered we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or canceling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund.
