I am still awaiting my products!
I ordered 4 Starscope units and 1 phone mount on 2021-11-29 and as of 2022-1-1 I have received nothing. I called support and a very pleasant lady named Jane gave a reasonable explanation for the delay and asked that I be patient for two more weeks... so... I am

My order has not been received in a timely manner. Not having been given a tracking number, I'm to assume the items have never been shipped. I have not received an e-mail that responds to my request for help. I keep getting THANK YOU for your order please rate us. I don't think you want me to rate you with the frustration I have received trying to communicate with you customer service department. I just want to know if I'm getting my order or not. If not please refund my order. Thanks, Susan Osburn

OMG I cannot believe this!!
OMG I cannot believe this!!! I too placed my order on 12/12/21 and still have not even received a tracking number. Finally I found a phone number and its a call center somewhere in the world :(
Paid over $179 for this crap. I will be contacting my bank Monday and WILL get a full refund!
I am also contacting the BBB to see if I am able to hook them up. With all these horrible reviews, maybe this will come to an end for Starscope.

My experience so far is dismal at best
My experience so far is dismal at best. I placed my order almost a month ago and still haven't received the product, but rest assured Starscope has collected the money. I am beginning to regret placing the order and if I don't receive what I asked for I will dispute the order with my credit card company.

On 12/19/21 Janine canceled my order. She did not give me a cancellation number. Additional emails ask that I reconsider even though there are no assurances of shipping date/tracking number. Without a refund to my credit card I have filed a dispute.

Never again
I’ve contacted the company 5 times. Each time they send a thanks for a stellar review on their products…I haven’t received any product. They said once they are checking with earehouse to get shipping info, but no thing besides that. I am sorely disappointed and so will my granddaughters be disappointed as these were Christmas gifts. I don’t know whether to cancel through PayPal, which already took my money, or what. No where in original salt was I told it would be shipping from China, but that’s what I expect. Never again, Starscope, no matter how great the product is. This is supposed to be a one star review.

Starscope ordered great company.
I didn’t receive my order yet, but when ordered starscope I had a few questions. I emailed but didn’t think a response would come. Mr Uno responded and verified my order and referred my address. I in turn responded back confirming address and appreciated the response. I’m sure product will be great item. So happy to let others know your dealing with a first class company. I ordered late so I knew arrival was after the holidays. To Mr Uno and other managers please keep up the great service and communication with customers. Enjoy your emails of new products and share them with my email friends. Happy and prosperous 2022.

Do not order from these people
Do not order from these people. I ordered the starscope on 12/2/21 and as of today, 12/21/21, have neither received the product or a shipped conformation. I called the number on their website and got a recording to notify their customer service by email. I have emailed twice with no results. They have charged my card, however. I will be filing a claim for the return of my money.

Will not get scopes before Christmas!
I placed an order back on 11/11/21, Christmas gifts for two Grandsons, still waiting! When I placed order it said would be here in 7-10 days! I have called x2 two different ladies but, they both saying the same things! Sorry for delay,
Items still in warehouse and they will expedite my order! They will send me a email with my tracking number? Then I receive an email saying, wrong tracking number? The number is the same number I recited to the two ladies?? I do not like to be just pacified, I was so excited for my Grandsons to have these scopes!
I just want an unscripted answer about the delay!
Also keep getting email thanking me for my order and how I feel about my order?? Also email about purchasing other items from them, Really!!!!

Back ordered from China? That wasn’t part of the LIMITED TIME PROMOTION
You send me another offer for a great review but you haven’t processed my order in excess of $180.I’m not pleased I’m growing impatient send my order or I’ll be asking for a refund and get my bank involved canceling the transaction.
Remember this was supposedly a limited time offering. I’ve yet to receive any information when to expect delivery. I’m not waiting for the slow boat from china to fill my order via NJ. Hurry you time is limited. M. Shannon
