Continuing the subject of the post Celestron Last DX 9×63, I come now write to give excellent news:
My Bino came!!!
After the post quoted above, I started researching on how to bring it in the United States and so, save good money. [just did not know it would save both]
My first was lucky to find a 2nd cousin of my cousin who lives there 1st in Florida. I got in touch with her, who helped me in the procedures for receiving and sending the goods.
Everything was very quick and smooth.
I will tell my story here, to help prospective buyers choose certain paths / legal alternative for your shopping.
1º – Purchase in American Site
The more affordable price of the Celestron Ultima DX 9×63 I found the site was Optcorp.com. Bought via Paypal and sent to deliver the house of Zeze, my contact in Florida. This site has a Free Shipping option, it takes 5 days delivery.

3º – Let the calculations
I was very lucky, because the customs released the product without charge me the 60% tax! And look at that Zeze specified the value of the product straight.
Bino ($188) + Freight ($41.00) = $229.00
Converting to real, with the dollar at R $ 2.07, have: R$474,00
For those who have not read the previous post, on this subject, the value of this bino here in Brazil is R $ 1,169.00.
Well, this was my purchase, my luck, my economy, my happiness! ! ! I think this bino came virtually free, to have an excellent quality and come out on this total.
That friends.
Friday, pass the test, I could already see Omega Centauri and I was impressed!!!! After commenting on the quality of this bino.
Dark Sky for all!
*Light, Please turn off the lights after 20h… rssrs
Hello, was giving a peek and I have a question: since the value of the object (binoculars) UU exceeds $ 50.00, as it was not charged taxes?
thanks for the info.
Hello Sydney!
I'm no professional astronomer, with several years of experience and use of various optical instruments, but I really like this bino! Not too heavy, finishing it is very cool, all drunk, is sealed to the nitrogen, à prova d'água, fungi and does not have a field of vision very good; maximum that our pupil can absorb.
I recommend for sure!
Here in Brazil it is still too expensive, but if you can bring in from outside, will save good money.
