I just had an OUTSTANDING contact with Swarovski-Optic "Advanced Technical" customer service. A few years ago I got an STS 20-60x spotting scope for my son. Recently i got the TLS APO attachment for attaching an SLR camera. The two didn't match- The instructions said a DRSM adapter sleeve was needed. checking the usual outlets (Eurooptic, OpticPanet,B&H,etc) no one listed the adapter. I called Swaro-Optik US customer service. I got the first lady and explained the issue- she said that was over her level of expertise and transferred me to "advanced technical". The second lady knew exactly what I had (she also knew who I was, my address & related info since I have made pervious purchases from them) and what the issue was. She said that the model scope that I have was being phased out, replaced by a different but similar scope, so that they no longer included the adapter sleeve with the DRSM kit. However, they had the sleeve in stock and she would package one up and ship it out so that I should receive it on Thursday. I asked about payment- NO CHARGE- it would have been included in the original kit and that I was a valued customer. Okay, WOW, such deal!! You can tell I was impressed by the knowledgeable and generous department and lady.
