Below are comments we have received from letters and emails


I got this site from an old Sky at Night Magazine', and would like people to know what a top class service I have received so far.
After spending over £300 in shops along the way, I spent 15 minutes speaking with Ted at Telescope House, and he helped me
to buy just what I needed.
The service is professional in every way, and that's like gold in this day and age. Even found a pair of binoculars that left me with
enough to spend on more equipment.

Thanks Ted, your a star.

Hi Ted,

"Telescope House's quality of service and promise to deliver a telescope which was being given to a good friend as a leaving gift has made his year. I wish to thank Steve and Ted for their sound and professional advice, for such a relatively low cost item. They take as much care in all their customers, big or small, and for that, they should be very proud"

Just a quick note to say 'Thanks' for the speed with which you handled my order for my new DSI Pro II.

As always, the Telescope House crew outshines all the others. I place the order on Thursday and it arrives before 8:30 the next morning. This, and the always spot-on advice you give is why I would never even consider going anywhere else for astronomy products.

Clear Skies,

Dave W

Dear David

Thank you for all your assistance - the items have arrived at our warehouse ready for loading onto the ship next week.

It was a pleasure dealing with you.

Best wishes

I was out that morning, but my daughter took delivery at about 8:30am without problems.

I am very happy with the 15 x 70 Revelation binoculars. For the price I was amazed at the quality of the build and optics.

I took them out in the garden for a few minutes on Wednesday night and saw Venus as a crescent, Saturn as an elongated yellow smudge, and Jupiter showed a full disc with all 4 moons visible (this is hand held !), one of them very close to the planet. The Moon looked fantastic too. I can't wait to try them on some deep sky objects once the Moon is out of the way. Optically They are sharp and contrasty, with only a slight softening around the outer 10 or 15% of the FOV, something I can live quite happily with. The false colour around the edge of the Moon and Jupiter was minimal and not obtrusive in the slightest, in fact, much less than my trusty 80mm F5 refractor.

I am recommending these binoculars to everyone in the York AS who asks where I bought them, and I'm also writing a review of them for our Society magazine "Algol".

Many thanks for the excellent service and speedy delivery (through the floods).

Very best wishes and clear, dark skies.

Dear Sir, Madam

Could I just say Thank you - for the fantastic service from you, so far all products have exceeded expectation and quality, your delivery service is top notch!

I used to shop locally (deleted) but got fed up with there complacency and remarks - I'm annoyed at myself for spending so much money with them in excess of 2k in the past 2years only to get poor service and to have to order everything anyway !!!!

Keep it up

Thanks again

Mark

Dear Sir/Madam

I received my order first thing this morning, the binoculars are exactly as advertised and your service is second to none.

I will not hesitate to use you for any future purchase and I will most certainly recommend you to others. Thank you very much.

Yours Aye

Dear Sirs,


I returned a faulty eyepiece to yourselves, posting it last Tuesday afternoon at 3.30pm ( July 18th.) I was amazed to receive the replacement at 8am this morning, less than 41 hours later. I can only congratulate you on what I regard as exceptional service, far superior to that of some of your competitors.
Once again many thanks BP

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WOW, the postman has just delivered a replacement Meade disc!!!!!!!
Thank you ever so much, what a surprise, what service!!!
I am really grateful, thank you.
Looking forward to dark skies, all the best,

I called on your recent Meade day in May 06 and purchased a TMB130 Lightweight APO refractor. I have to tell you what a stunning telescope this is!!
The views of Jupiter and the Moon, especially with a binoviewer are beautiful. This was a once in a lifetime purchase and I am very pleased. This telescope lives up to its reputation, and I did speak to two owners before going ahead. I also love the extreme portability and sheer quality. Once again thanks to Alan and Rob for their great service.
Very best regards to you all.

Hi,

I wanted to write and say "BIG THANKS" for your assistance and advice concerning the purchase of a pair of Bresser 10 x 50 Binoculars.

Previously I owned Zeiss 10 x 50 Jena's which were outstanding in their optical performance but at a considerable price. One the negative side they were particularly heavy to handle and carry any distance in their case. Sadly they were dropped by a friend on a camping trip and the cost of prism/lens replacement and recollimation was more than they were worth.

I saw reviews of the Bresser, with their BAK 4 prisms (quite unusual in low cost binoculars) which described them as "good for general astronomy". I wrote to ask your considered opinion given that £24.99 buys very little these days.

Your advice was a precise and accurate description of these Binos which are quite simple outstanding value given that £24.99 included 24/48 hour courier delivery to my door, beautifully protected and packaged.

Having evaluated the Bressers for the last few weeks in varying test conditions, I must say I am delighted with them. The image is crisp, sharp and bright and they feel much more comfortable in my hands than the heavier Zeiss. The Bresser are much lighter with their durable rubber coating and much more "carry friendly". Surprisingly the Zeiss did not come with lens covers which the Bressers did.

Thanks for your good service and unbiased and accurate advice which is most appreciated.

I have no hesitation in recommending the Bresser 10 x 50 as an excellent product for the low price of £24.99.

Prior to purchase I searched the Internet for reviews of these Binoculars without success. Please feel free to use my above feedback to assist other users in their future purchases.

Many Thanks once again

Yours sincerely
L P

Just a bit of customer feedback.
Ordered a revelation 8" Dobsonian 2 weeks ago during a visit to your
excellenly layed out shop and extremely helpful staff. After the stock
arrived last week I picked it up last Saturday. At home in the gloomy
weekend I got the base put together and set it all up, tweeked the
collimation and was ready for clear skies, set up was a breeze. The
whole thing was well packed and in pristine condition. Last night
arrived with clear skies at last. With the Beehive, Pleiades, orion
nebulae, Mars and Saturn around to name but a few it was difficult to
know what to look at first. Everything I looked at was superb, the scope
was a dream to use and in my humble opinion when you look at the price
of other scopes was amazing value for money. My first scope was an 80mm
and this was a terrific upgrade. Well done on an excellent product that
had all the little extras good 2" eyepiece, super smooth crayford
focuser, fan and good quality finder.
Thanks again to you all, no doubt I'll be back.

Hi


I would like to report the excellent and unbelievably prompt service received recently from the staff of BC&F at Telescope House, after knocking my beautiful ETX over in my backyard. (Followed by the sound of my head being banged on the wall). The dealer who supplied my scope has ceased trading, but the folk at Telescope House came to the rescue from 200 miles away like the stars they are. (web@telescopehouse.co.uk)

Mr N


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I was given very friendly and knowledgeable advice over the phone and the carrier called first thing the next morning! The scope was returned to me fit and well a very few days later, collimation restored, various minor niggles remedied, Autostar updated and the whole lot checked over - and the bill considerably less than I feared. Restores one's faith in human nature.

Telescope House will get first chance to supply my future needs. Truly, astronomical service at down to earth prices!

Hi Guys


Just to say a big thank you to you all regarding your open day on Saturday. My wife and I purchased a Coronado PST on the day and three members of staff individually said that we would not be disappointed with it. Well we're not! Peaking through the occasional breaks in the cloud today the views were amazing, just as you said they would be.

Once again a big thank you for a great day.
Mr Mrs P

Hello

As you will know, I collected the tripod today and also bought a 18mm
Cemax eyepiece. I just want to say how pleased I am with the new kit, it
has opened up a new field of astronomy to me (In warmer conditions as
well!!).

The only trouble in visiting your showroom is that its too tempting!
Thanks again for your excellent service

All the best

Terry

PS I also could not resist buying a couple of pairs of the Meade
binoculars for gifts to give to friends. What fantastic value



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Excellent service ....Many thanks....eyepiece arrived less than 24
hours

Hi there

Just to let you know I got my scope on monday and had a chance to use it.
All I can say is that I am extremely pleased, the quality is far more than I exspected, and the image matches the quality of the scope.
Thank's for all the advice with your emails, and for being so helpful over the phone
topped with the usual speedy delivery.
The scope is great and I am looking forward to some great views this summer.
Until the next time.

Dear Telescope House,
Here is an evaluation of the Revelation, after our first night of observing.
Had a chance to test the Revelation last night, seeing was a bit variable, but in my humble opinion it performed on a par with any telescope that I have ever looked through (eg Meade 12" LX200, COAA 20" Newtonian).Great views of Saturn, Jupiter and the Moon. We bought our first telescope , a 4" reflector from "Fullerscopes" in 1964 at £7, that was a great little scope which taught us a lot; the Revelation is an incredible instrument , well made in every respect.
Clear Skies and
All the best
