Paul, Would you like to buy the London Bridge? Oh wait, it is in AZ. Seriously, the owner of Alpine Astro is a mechanical engineer who has a daytime job with...
Last year I had to ship a 12" LX200, which consisted of several oversized and heavy boxes. UPS would not handle them, but I had no trouble at all dealing with...
... AZ. ... Bob, Sorry I missed your call... But am still mopping up from last week's disaster. In any event, Alpine Astro by all accounts seems like is a ...
Paul, My bad. You are correct. Well, they sound pretty good. Since I am moving toward image intensification via the I3, I am trying to figure out if I can...

Hi Dan and all, I understand your reasoning about requiring a signature but it sure can make it difficult for some of us to get our deliveries. I live 40...
