I posted from their info sheet that you’ll receive a 5% discount on every purchase you make. Now their website says you’ll get 10% back on ink, toner & paper and 1% back on nearly everything else. Print services are still 15% off. Obviously, I’m headed to Office Depot this week.

Their microscopes are already discounted 25% or more from retail, so the total value to homeschoolers is very high.

As a microscope dealer for twelve years and a homeschooler for twenty years, John Lind can tell you there really is no one-size-fits-all microscope for homeschoolers. At GreatScopes they have a microscope to meet the needs of just about any homeschooler.

How do you get the discount? Homeschoolers are invited to use the customer code “HS10″ at checkout, and the discount will immediately be taken off your microscope order of $149 or more.

Quality equipment, great prices. Call toll-free 877-454-6364
Many thanks to John Lind for providing this information.

Be sure to check out their Resources. There’s experiments & labs, a Lab Journal you can print, a microscope parts & glossary (which we’ll be using to make GeoSafari cards!) and a guide on how to buy the right microscope.

I am quite pleased they now offer the discount to homeschoolers. Thanks to reader Heather for letting me know. I had emailed them back in 2003 because their website stated the discount was for Certified Teachers Only. I only wish they had locations in Michigan.
