16 Common Questions About Our Online Nature Learning Store

1) What are the differences between your Online Nature Learning Store and your "affiliate shops"?
Simply put, we handle all the operations of our Nature Learning Store ourselves---marketing, order processing and fulfillment, customer service, etc. Within our two affiliate shops, however, (the Gigglemoose Souvenir Shop and Camp Gigglemoose) these elements are handled by reliable outside vendors. For more information on our affiliate shops, click here.

2) How do I place an order?
When you find something you want to purchase, enter in the quantity and click on the "Add to Basket" button. This will take you into your shopping basket. From there you can continue shopping or proceed to "checkout" by clicking on the appropriate button. Specific, easy-to-follow instructions will guide you through every step of the ordering process.

3) What form of payment do you accept?
We accept credit cards (VISA or Mastercard), checks, money orders, or school purchase orders. To use a check or money order, you must print out our order form and submit your order by mail. This will delay your order. For more details on purchase orders, see question #5.

4) How safe is it to use my credit card?
Very safe! We use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption to process all credit card orders. Secure servers and state-of-the-art computer security encrypts all the information you type in (including credit card numbers) to prevent it from being intercepted and stolen.

5) Can my school order with a PO?
Yes. All school purchase orders must be signed by an authorized purchasing agent. To order with a purchase order, please print out our order from.

6) What are your delivery charges?
Our insured delivery rates are based on the dollar amount of your order. Click here.

7) When will my order be shipped?
Most orders are shipped within 3--5 working days, though we cannot guarantee that time frame. (Many orders, in fact, actually ship within 24--48 hours). If an item is out of stock at the time we receive your order, we will ship it to you as soon as it arrives. Of course, you will be notified of this status and be given the opportunity to cancel the backordered item.

8) Do you ship overseas?
Sorry, but at this time we can only ship to the 48 contiguous states. We hope to add overseas shipping soon.

9) Do you charge sales tax?
No. Because we are based in New Hampshire and there isn't a state sales tax, we do not add taxes to U.S. orders.

10) Are special precautions necessary when ordering live specimens?
Yes. If your order includes live specimens, please make sure that you will be ready to use them as soon as they arrive. This is especially important if delivery will be to a school or organization. Shipments containing live specimens must be opened immediately. We cannot be held responsible for live specimens that are not attended to promptly. Live specimens cannot be shipped outside the United States.
