Very helpful service in explaining what adaptors to use with a coma corrector that had been purchased elsewhere. They even unselfishly pointed me to a list of other UK distributors when they were unab... See more

Advice, delivery and price excellent, very impressive service and very pleased with the telescope. Just a shame the weather hasn’t permitted much use so far.
I ordered an ex-demo item online. The website was clear and straightforward. I received a call to ask whether it was ok for the paperwork to go with the item as the billing and delivery addresses were... See more

Great customer experience
I’ve been looking for a cata telescope for sometime, couldn’t believe price paid for it. Great customer service, with next day delivery couldn’t have asked for more. I will use this company again, without hesitation.
Great service and the telescope is fab.
Highly Recommended.
Fantastic service. I received very comprehensive yet easy to understand advice about which telescope lens/eye-pieces would suit my kit. I decided to order and received the goods within 2 days. Very good especially during the current circumstances. Highly Recommended.

The telescope and the Star Sense Auto Align kit arrived safely and on time. The problems I had with both devices were dealt with quickly and effectively, and now everything seems to be working satisfactorily. It's the wrong time of the year to test everything properly, but so far it is all looking good. I have every confidence that if I get any further problems, they will be dealt with equally well. Thanks for all your help.'

You should have asked me whether I am interested in astronomy instead of redirecting me to celestron global uk! I am NO brainy birdwatcher! I was interested in binoculars for astronomy use, You are not selling very well! I shall look elsewhere! Thank you!

Very fast delivery even in these troubled times. Great telescope, many thanks
absolutely impeccable service
An absolutely impeccable service both from from orla (customer service) and lee (technical), I wish all business would run this way, I bought from a different supplier, who was not responding to me with an issue I had, orla stepped in took over the problem and dealt with the problem instantly. then I had lee taking me through set up procedure for my goto telescope. top after care service and very knowledgeable team, who I very happily recommend them to everyone. you can buy with complete satisfaction. why go anywhere else when you have a service like this !

Friendly and efficient service, excellent price.
Rang up the company as was having trouble purchasing through eBay who were dragging their feet to help me. Orla was excellent. Sorted out my purchase there and then, very down to earth, happy to give a history of their company, and are one of the main suppliers of telescopes in the country. She's very enthusiastic about her work and is happy to help. On top of that, I found their product was priced substantially lower than other companies I'd looked into, and free next day delivery on top of the low price, even with Covid 19 effecting deliveries. If you look at their website they have a lot of stock and have been selling for years, so they would be able to advise about their products if needed. Good customer service should be standard, but sadly it's not. I had a very positive experience with this company. Thanks
