    Outstanding seller! Very fast handling after purchase and quick, problem-free international shipping despite the long distance. Excellent and clear communication throughout. The Unitron 75mm f/1200 refractor was exactly as described, extremely well packed, and arrived in perfect condition. The condition of the product fully reflected its value, and I am very satisfied with the purchase. I give my highest recommendation to tk.shop.1986.

    The eyepiece looks new, even better than described. The packaging was bulletproof and free shipping from Japan to the U.S. took a mere 5 days. I rate this a perfect transaction because it is impossible to improve upon this experience. Thank you!
