    Additional business information

    Additional Info:
    A message from Explore Scientific regarding orders and delays: We want to thank everyone for their patronage during this unprecedented era of the pandemic. Many families have discovered the moon, planets, and stars from their own backyards, and this has caused a great surge of interest in astronomy. This led many to acquire their first telescope or to upgrade their old one. Indeed, throughout the industry many enthusiasts have found many items out of stock and very long backorders. Explore Scientific has increased manufacturing demand by expanding our manufacturing facilities and workforce. In addition, we have adopted a program of regularly communicating with our community through live video programs with live chat dedicated to astronomy and exploration where we do our best to keep everyone informed (see explorescientific.com/live).

    Resolved
    I purchased a mount for a telescope. The model is IExos 100. The advertising literature states that the mount may be controlled by an Ipad, a pc or an android device. In fact Explore Scientific told me that only an Ipad would work so I had to buy a 500 Ipad. The mount is used to point at objects in the sky and move the telescope so that objects stay in the eyepiece. The ipad worked briefly. When I called back I ended up talking to ******* who at first was helpful. After some discussions it appeared that the mount would not respond to the Ipad and ******* said she wanted to talk to Tj and would call back. That was yesterday. Today ******* will not answer my call, nor email me. It is apparent also that the advertising concerning the android device or pc was erroneous or deceptive. The mount was $600, a polar alignment scope for $100 and battery pack for $100. I would be satisfied with a refund, repair or replacement. ******* ******, Victoria Texas

    I had an issue with my Exos2 mount not connecting properly with my Windows 11 tablet. I can't say enough about the service I received from Explore Scientific staff. I initially spoke with Doc and Tyler, both of whom were knowledgeable and resourceful. I was connected with Wes, who helped me resolve this very quickly. These are amazing people who know the meaning of patience and understanding. And I greatly appreciate that. The products are fantastic, and the service is stellar. Thank you for that.
