It would be very great if we could pay the order by bank transfer from our university instead of by credit card, which in ocassions it is very difficult to carry out. Thanks

This was first time buying from your e-store and was hesitant at first. I knew of Oxford instruments due to purchase of an EPR system. The e-store team was extremely helpful getting me through the p... See more

It was really nice, overall. Good to see that you are so involved in process research. In some presentations I would push more for explaining the physics and mechanics of a technique instead of the ad... See more

Support services are great

Support services are great, and the shipping is very fast after placing order. This type of probes works pretty well for small and soft crystals.

Item not as described

I ordered two of these at $10 each:
ID 51-1625-0091
SEM Specimen Stubs for LEO/CAMBRIDGE, FEI/PHILIPS, CAMSCAN, TESCAN, ZEISS instruments. 12.5mm dia. Carbon

The description says plural "stubs" and has a picture of two stubs.

Yes, I only received two bags, one stub in each bag. Should have gotten four total.

Thank you for leaving us a review. I am sorry that the image was misleading. It was intended to show the stub from different angles. I have ammended the description on the website now.

No one to talk to - and a little slow

I needed some additional information and tried calling the number(s) listed, but there was no answer.

I was also charged extra $29 for second day air. The order was placed on Friday and I was expecting the package on Monday, but it was only delivered Wednesday.

It was a good buying experience

It was a good buying experience. Aztec Crystal just has numerous bugs associated with the saving of figures, and when you try to record the logs related to the app crashing, the logs are never sent to support.

Customer service was with me every step of the way

There was some kind of glitch setting up my account to be tax exempt but customer service communicated with me and were very good. As soon as I placed and order and it still had tax they would reply right away to me emails. We did not fix the problem but the customer service made me feel like they would make it right. The order came through a few months later and they have gotten back to me with the credit.
