The scope arrived a week earlier than predicted. It was very well packaged and works well. Because the scope was purchased from a UK distributer (costs were in UK funds converted to Cdn funds) the charger was made for the UK market. This meant I needed to use a North American charger to charge the unit - not a deal breaker, just an awareness to note for other purchasers. The vendor (quark32) was very good to communicate with me throughout the purchasing process.
