Turn-around time
Our
turn-around time covers from getting the payment (or
payment notice), processing the order (or activate the
production), going
through the export formalities, to transporting the
shipment to your destination air/sea ports.
For the different models of binoculars and telescopes,
due to the different order quantity, and by the different
ways of transportation to the different cities or countries,
the turn-around time is different. Usually, the turn-around time (or you may call it delivery
time) is equal to production time plus shipping time.

Production Time Update: Since 2009, we've had
to do our best to control cost down. We've to
accumulate enough small orders to activate a
production run and so the production time for some
models are now longer than the above listed.
