Zhumell dobsonian telescopes have had good reviews. They are (I believe) Taiwanese made and were sold previously under the Harden Optical label. Telescopes.com does ship internationally.

I haven't heard much about this brand as it's not very popular here but judging by the photos, descriptions, and reviews I can find of their telescopes, they don't strike me as department store junk.

Their suggested retail prices seem a bit high and I have to wonder why the "list price" for their 152mm achromatic refractor is $1800 as I myself can think of other things to buy for $1800 but the store I'm looking at sells the scopes for half that price. They seem to make an honest attempt at quality as far as the mounts and general construction of the telescope goes, plus they offer some accesories with their telescopes. I can't really comment on the performance of the optics, as I haven't actually tried one but the one review I can find seems to indicate they are decent though sharper views exist....the reviewer mentioned having trouble collimating the scope which may have been a factor in some resolving issues.

As with all major purchases shop around first. Anything is obtainable via the internet.

Reflector or refractor? Their dobsonians seem to be a pretty good value, and generally well regarded. I haven't heard anything about their refractors, but some of the bottom end scopes appear to be little more than toys.

They make fairly good binoculars and spotting scopes. The only astro scopes I've seen out of them are pretty low end.
