Here are my favorites and worst places to do business with.

Favorite Online Stores:  Agena AstroProducts & OPT Telescopes

• very responsive
• Excellent return policy
• Knowledgeable staff
• Reasonable shipping rates and they get the product on the truck fast
• Shows the actual inventory status – So, your not guessing

The WORST Online Stores:  High Point Scientific (HPS)

• The worst inventory management around – take your chances if you order, because it may be in stock or 6 months before you see it.
• HPS replies to your questions but fail to fully answer all of them; requiring you to send another inquiry
• Their shipping is SLOW
