Why order from Agena instead of directly from William Optics?
You may find this item available for sale on William Optics' website for a bit less than our price. Here's why you should consider buying from us instead:
- You will be subject to import customs fees of at least 8%, plus possible additional handling/packaging fees and paperwork if you import directly from Taiwan. We've already taken care of this, so you will not have to pay anything extra if you buy from us.
- We ship from stock from our warehouse in Los Angeles. William Optics ships directly from Taiwan.
- We open and inspect the telescope before re-shipping it to you.
- For any warranty/support issues, you can contact us directly instead of dealing with an overseas location.
