Procular’s COVID-19 Coronavirus Delivery Procedures
With the growing health concerns, we have implemented some new guidelines for our no contact deliveries. We are also closely coordinating with our couriers to ensure there will be no disruptions to our services. We want to assure you that our platforms are at full functionality, with the services and support you are used to receiving from us.
On Time and No Contact Delivery
DPD have taken steps to minimise the spread of the COVID-19 virus and will no longer obtain signatures at the time of delivery, instead:
The parcel will be delivered to your doorstep, or at reception. All parcels will no longer require a signature for delivery and/or collection. Contact will be minimised by either leaving the parcel at the door until the driver or postie has left the premises or left for you to pick up on the counter.
For deliveries with specific signature requirements, we will be working with our customers directly to ensure these continue to be met.
How much do I have to pay for shipping?
Zero. We offer our customers free shipping UK wide with no minimum spend! Your package will be delivered by the courier service DPD24. You will also be given an order number which you can use to track the status of your order here on our website.
I just placed an order online. When will I receive my merchandise?
Procular makes every effort to get your order to you as soon as possible. Orders for in-stock items placed on business days before 1:00 PM GMT are generally shipped out the same or the following day (subject to verification). Please note that weekend orders, placed on Fridays after 1:00 PM will be processed on the following Monday. If there is a problem with your order, you will receive an e-mail within two business days to advise you about the situation.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, Procular ships throughout the UK, EU, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and to over 200 countries worldwide. International delivery time is approximately 7 to 14 business days.
Do you have a pickup service?
We do not currently offer a pickup service. Nearly all of the products are shipped out from our Nottingham warehouse via DPD24. All deliveries are sent out as quickly as possible and free of charge to anywhere within the UK.

Bought this for my nine year olds for Christmas. Well packaged and boxed and delivered as requested. We’ve not used it much so far but its been pretty simple to set up and get going. We had great views of the moon shortly after unboxing. We’ve yet to master the Barlow lens which I’ve found tricky to focus with so far. The only negative observation I would make, as some other reviewers have, is the absence of a spotter scope makes alignment really tricky (even for the moon) which is a downside when trying to keep younger minds engaged. Otherwise very pleased so far.

Very good telescope for the money. Skies have clouded since the two days I had to test it. In those I could clearly see the moons of Jupiter. It is difficult to pin point such objects though, so I’ve only rated it four. I would have paid extra for some sighting assistance.

The optics are good but without a sight it is extremely difficult to locate onto a specific object such as a planet. A small and inexpensive addition that would make a big difference to its use. Very frustrating and disappointing given the association with National Geographic.

Very easy to use, well made and quite complete. The software which comes with it is very useful and instructive. It isn’t Mount Palomar but one wouldn’t expect that from a 3″ mirror. It’s highly portable and enjoyable to use.

High Summer not the best time to view the heavens and have, so far, had no real chance to use the telescope.
The only comment I can make, negative unfortunately, is that the Stellarium disc is 32 bit whilst my MacOS High Sierra requires a 64 bit set up so not much use to me.

Nice starter telescope. After reading another reviewer state that he could see the rings of Saturn with this inexpensive scope, I immediately bought one for my son. He is really starting to get an interest in space, and growing up with an amateur astronomer father, I am overjoyed. It’s a nice starter telescope and has been really easy for him to use. I like that it doesn’t take up a lot of room and you can’t beat the price.

Nice telescope for the price. The accessory kit with it and the lenses are great. Able to see nice detail on the moon. Very Very nice for a first telescope.

I got mine elsewhere and honestly it can’t be better for this price. The eyepieces weren’t as bad as I expected, build is also very good. Some minor issues with optic quality are present but I won’t complain at this price. Btw it is extremely easy to use and is very small. Moon looked good on first light. I like it better than my old bran name goto scope as it is so small. May look at the bigger one from nat geo if it ever comes on special again…

BEST TELESCOPE FOR BEGINNERS! Just to see my Daughter ‘s face , there is not enough stars to rate this telescope. It is a really nice tool for beginners.

Great Telescope for the price. This telescope is very powerful considering its size and my 8 year old soon loves it. I think a tripod mounted telescope would be easier on an adult to maneuver, but my son seems to find it easy to use.
