Holding Your Place in Line:

Would you like Teeter's Telescopes to hold one of these openings for you? Simply submit a non-refundable $100.00 "good faith deposit", per payment submittal instructions below, and we'll put your name and desired project into our queue. Openings are filled on a first-come first-served basis. Your deposit will be applied to the balance due on the project. The remaining balance of the 50% deposit of the total project price will be due on the start date of your Teeter's Telescopes production run.

Placing Your Order:

No order can be initiated and officially logged without a completed, signed and dated Order Specification Form. This Form should be submitted as early in the order process as possible and will help us provide you with an accurate price quote. In addition, this Form will act as a contract allowing our staff to be in agreement with you on all aspects of your scope and to eliminate any miscommunications. This Form also acts as a guide for us during the design and build processes, therefore we ask that you be as explicit as possible on the Form with any special requests or considerations that need to be addressed.

This Form, however, is not written in stone as components may be modified, changed, added and/or deleted during the build process (we understand that circumstances change, new/better products are released or you may simply have a change of heart). We ask that any modifications with your build be communicated with us in writing (via Email to rob@teeterstelescopes.com) to ensure we have a "tangible" record of such changes.

Payment Methods:

All orders require a 50% non-refundable deposit of the total price (not including shipping) of your Ultra-Limited-Edition Truss-Dobsonian, due on the first day of your scope's Production Run Start Date. Once your deposit clears our bank, no refunds can be given under any circumstances. Please be 100% sure you want to proceed with an order when you send in your deposit!

Payment can be remitted via personal checks or money orders (bank or Postal). Please make them payable to "Teeter's Telescopes, LLC." and include a note on the product in which you are interested, and mail to:
