Butch,
I've had TK Lee do optical work several times with no complaints. Last fall I sent two scopes for reticle changes. I wasn't able to make contact before shipping and couldn't make contact during the wait. However, they did come back to me in roughly the time frame on the website, about 3 months. I would imagine that between shipping from Australia, 3-4 months for the work, and return shipping, it's gonna take a while. You might try snail mail. Not the best answer I know, but it will probably work.
