Telescope Return Policy

We urge you to give serious consideration to the purchase of any telescope, and we are here to help you make an informed decision. We offer our knowledge and expertise, free of charge, to help you select the most appropriate telescope for your situation, even if you do not purchase it from our store. We will also help you, after your purchase from our store, should you require assistance with the operation of your telescope.

Our telescope prices here at The Compleat Naturalist are comparable to the lowest prices that we have found on the internet. Because our profit margin on astronomical telescopes is so low, and because it is very difficult to re-sell telescopes as new that have been un-boxed and then returned by the customer, we must have a very strict return policy for telescope sales. In return, we offer you our knowledge and our pledge of friendly, informed service.

In the case of defective telescopes, Meade Instruments has a one-year warranty, and will repair or replace any defective parts. Each telescope has full warranty information included in the box. You will need to communicate directly with the manufacturer to handle warranty claims or repair issues. In some cases we might have replacement parts or telescopes in stock that we can exchange for defective (under warranty) merchandise, so you are welcome to contact us first.  This applies only to scopes and accessories that were purchased from us, so please keep your store receipt.

Return Policy: Telescopes may be returned for store credit only, and must be unused and unopened, within 30 days of purchase, and must be accompanied by an original store receipt. There will be a 10% re-stocking fee.

Special Order Items:  Special order items are pieces that are not normally stocked in our store.  Special orders are non-cancellable and non-refundable.  We require full pre-payment on special order telescopes and accessories.  At the time of your order we will confirm with you the above policy and whether you wish to proceed with the order.  On some large orders, your signature will be required confirming that you acknowledge that the order is non-refundable and non-cancellable.
