Bought the mini microscope which didn't work. The battery compartment was near impossible to open and it wouldn't focus as advertised. A cheap and nasty toy in every way. When I tried contacting YOU... See more

I don’t normally write reviews but…

I don’t normally write reviews but these microscopes are rubbish. I just put my two in the bag to take to the charity shop. Totally naff. What a waste of money. What you see on the website is totally fabricated and is not what you see when you use these little microscopes.

I have order almost 2 months ago.

I have order almost 2 months ago.
I have written to social media and in contact section 3 times to tell me when you will send me what I bought since my purchase is still in the "ordered confirmed" status, however no one answers anything and my children are still waiting for their scientific gift that from what I see does not seem to be real.

ABSOLUTE SCAM - DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY THEY ARE NOT LEGITIMATE!

ABSOLUTE SCAM!

If there was a 0 star rating, this company would get it!

FYI this is a completely scammy company, with a professional looking website, charging extortionate prices for generic, mass manufactured, inferior quality items you can purchase on other generic junk websites, for a fraction of the price! It’s the type of rubbish you can buy from ‘those’ sorts of websites (begins with a S ending in N and another starting with a T and ending in U!).

I am furious with myself that I got suckered in & fell for the professional looking website! That image of ‘Anna & Tom’, I reverse image searched & they’re actually called Vicki & Rich from a bed linen company based in America….legit, genuine people, from a legit, genuine company! I’ve reported the use of their image to their company, so hopefully something can be done!

I’ve requested a refund from this company, but I’m not hopeful I’ll get one. If I hear nothing back from them I guess I’ll have to speak to my card issuer. I’ve also requested to return the items, they can have their junk back because I certainly don’t want it!

I guess it serves me right for not doing my due diligence!

Terrible Quality - no follow on for return service

I ordered some small microscopes for my grandchildren however the product does not work and is of very poor quality. DO NOT buy from this company. I tried to return the products and they do not respond with the instructions on how to return them. Yet another poor experience through a Facebook ad. Sigh...never again.

Don't buy it

I received a poor-quality item with no proper packaging, only plastic wrap. The product is completely different from what was shown on the website. Highly disappointed!

Total SCAM Company

Total SCAM company. I ordered my item Sept 15, 2024. The item apparently still has not been sent, I haven't received anything, no response to emails sent to their info and support email addresses as well as messaging them through the "contact us" section of their website. I have reported them to the Federal Trade Commission Fraud Line. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY.

Shame you can’t give a 0 star review!

Shame you can’t give a 0 star review!
Absolutely appalling! Placed an order and within an hour (after then doing my research) sent an email to cancel my order…. Sent 4 emails in total asking to cancel and refund only to receive a dispatched email 24hrs later!
Do Not Use! Do Not Buy!

Don’t buy from this company. …

The microscope that I bought was shipped from China, so delivery took about 15 days. When it arrived I put new batteries in it, but it didn’t work. I have sent several emails to them asking how I can return the item, but I haven’t had a response. There was no return information when I received the order.

Investigating refund. Poor quality

Investigating refund. No response so far to customer service email. Very poor quality - trashy item at almost 3 x the cost of others available online. No difference in materials used in manufacture. Do not buy. .

We cannot get a refund

We cannot get them to focus. Says 30 refund policy but they will not respond to my 7 emails requesting a return reauthorization. We bought three for my grandchildren for Christmas and we’re so disappointed. Don’t give these guys your money.
