Excellent Product
By mush75
So i ordered this thinking Amazon would have sorted the 2 boxes issue by now (they state its 1box but its really 2 and it seems to baffle them), unfortunately i just got the optical tube not the tripod!Spent a good hour trying to explain what the issue was because according to Amazon "the product is sold in 1 box as per product description" so everything should be there and i would have to wait 48hours for it to be investigated before deciding whether or not they would provide a replacement. Anyway, rather disgruntled in the knowledge that could mean a whole week before i get a replacement (bearing in mind i was expecting it ready for the weekend), i decided to go on the customer service instant messaging where i eventually got my point across that regardless of the outcome i will have to send the tube back and get a replacement, so why not just send a replacement now whilst its being investigated. The guy on the other end was very helpful it is fair to say, and he managed to get the order sorted. So now i will recieve a replacement in 36hours. Good stuff!This 2box situation is a pain and I fail to believe that: a) they would put near 30KG in a single box b) Celestron would package the optical tube with the tripod considering its size and potential for damage.The original package arrived by courier Yodel (useless, useless courier).Amazon delivery label on the recieved package states: Product weight 28.26KG Package 1 of 1Yet the package itself is labelled (in quite large writting)"CELESTRON""PART1""31057-1""NET WEIGHT: 12KG"Now it doesn't take a lot of time, nor a genius, to work out that this product is not a 1 box deal!The fact it says part1 and the product number ends with "-1" usually indicates a 2 or more boxes.And if that wasnt enough the box is shouting "THIS IS ONLY 12KG" and the Amazon produced order label contradicts that saying its 28KGIf i worked for Amazon alarm bells would be ringing at that point.Bottom line, they havent fixed these issues and Amazon seem to refuse to believe there is such an issue, (it obviously must be Celestron's fault then for using more than 1 box)Don't order this product from Amazon, pay the marginal extra cost and slightly longer delivery to have it from a real telescope store.The product is great, ive had the fortune of using my friends and it gives excellent clarity, and has an excellent equatorial mount!I hope to God that the replacement isn't just a 1 part deal again and i get lumbered with 2 Optical tubes! It would definitely put me in a sour mood!Merry Christmas Amazon!

I upgraded from a astromaster 130 which i thought was a great telescope for the money. But the omni 150 is a big step up. The big tripod is rock solid and a joy to use. The images are great to, Jupiter and its moons, the Orion nebula, beetlegeause,, and the moon all look great! The finder scope works great too! (Not like on the astromaster) this truly is a superb telescope, i doubt i will ever replace it. The build quality and materials used are top notch. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a top quality telescope. And mine came in 2 boxes banded together delivered with prime, so no problems there! Highly recommended.

Ordered this telescope for a birthday present. It comes in two boxes, a tripod and the actual telescope. delivery arrives on tome, but only one box the tripod. i call Amazon that evening to ask for a replacement. fine no problem we will send it out first thing tomorrow an confirm by email. Next day no email, so contact them again, no replacement ordered and sorry we will need to listen to the previous call, I will order it for you now, should all be okay in 2 hours. 3 hours later still no email, call again agent tells me only one left in stock ang gets authority to send itand at last a replacment is ordered (i then get 3 emails one from each of the agents telling me a replacement is on way~) then a stern email telling me to return the first part order. next day delivery arrives guess what only one part and its the part that is missing. Amazon only send complete orders so they want both half orders back, nice one amazon, happy birthday to you to.
