Thanks for the links blackout
i heard horror stories though regarding the shipping times. have you ever ordered from that site?

I order from them quite a lot, my last order was placed late friday 22nd july, confirmed shipped 26th july, arrived 3rd august.

It is best to order 1 thing at a time. I think if something is not in stock, or they have to gather several items from several warehouses, they will hold up the whole shipment.

Some items also regularly sell out so it can be delayed, like popular memory cards, I reckon the microscopes would be fine.

Some people pay 1 cent for a dropshipping option (unmarked package), and some claim it gets through the postal system quicker because of it.

The same site sells them, however I can't say I would recommend any, I would rather spend a bit more on one I can trust as it is more critical. I just do not trust cheap electronic/digital thermometers or TDS/pHmeters etc. With a scope its just a bit of glass, nothing much to go wrong. Maybe somebody else knows of a place...
