Tim Doyle complained that he never received a pop-up greenhouse after ordering it. The company in California that drop ships this item for Educational Science led us to believe that the item was in stock when it was actually back ordered. As soon as we received notice that the item was back ordered and did not drop ship, Tim Doyle was credited back in full and offered a FREE Flowerhouse pop-up greenhouse. We have no record of phone calls or emails from Mr. Tim Doyle. Educational Science has had over three years of documented problems with the MSN server--both in receiving and sending emails and Q-system phone messages delivered via email ( MSN-800-494-2962 Case # 1135555813) and did not receive any BBB or customer complaints via email, fax or mail which resulted in an arbitrary BBB F rating. According to the BBB, any company that does not respond to a customer complaint will receive a F rating. As a matter of fact, our original email edusci@msn stopped working and we had to change our email to educationalscience@msn.com (documented), which further disrupted communication with our customers. MSN is aware of the server issue and has assured us they are working to resolve the issue.

Again, the BBB will arbitrarily give a company a F rating if just one BBB complaint is not answered. Mr. Tim Doyal was credited back and offered a free pop-up greenhouse. Since responding to the one unanswered complaint our rating with the BBB is now A. (see below or contact the BBB)

We have grown exponentially and are in the process of hiring more customer service reps to handle the high volume of calls and emails. We are also working with MSN to help resolve the server email syncronization problem which led to the arbitrary company rating by the BBB. The rating of our company by the BBB is now A.

If you have a retail store or online business we offer our products at wholesale prices. Some our distributors, like NASCO offers our items --Butterfly kits,large pop-up cages, and nets, monarch butterflies at below MSRP.

We also offer year round milkweed plants and monarch larvae.
