Unlike other products, POD is not a Do-It-Yourself Project. POD is ready to assemble right out of the box. With just a few basic hand tools, you can have a fully functioning observatory up and operating within a couple of hours of POD arriving at your front door. With other domes there's so much work and time needed to build them that some owners never get around to it after owning them for years. Lately there's been a glut of "used" DIY obs for sale that were never built because of the time and hassle involved.

Don't let this happen to you! POD assembles quickly. POD owners often have them assembled and are using them the same day they are delivered. Your ob is of no use to you if it's sitting unassembled in your garage. Not to mention a waste of money.

*If you plan on adding a few POD Bays later, consider doing so at the time of your initial purchase instead. This way you will not only save money on individual Bay purchases, but especially on Bay shipping costs. If added at time of purchase Bays only cost an extra $50.00 each to ship. Purchased later the shipping cost will be at least twice as much.

POD Bays can be shipped 3 in a box, therefore you save a pile on shipping 3 Bays at once compared to shipping one at a time. Shipping one Bay later will cost almost as much as shipping three later. The same applies for extra wall panels.

*POD Shipping costs are extra. See U.S. Shipping Prices Below *Prices are subject to change.

New Incredible Shipping Rates!
This is the biggest news since POD first made history back in '07!

After years of working with a major U.S. carrier to deliver many PODs throughout the U.S., we've been able to negotiate incredible new shipping rates. Now you get the same great door-to-door, personalized, courteous service, for up to 35% off our former shipping prices!

How great are these new shipping prices? How about only $280 to home deliver a POD anywhere in OH? For a dome only it's only $195! That's no typo, it's $195 to OH. How about a POD to anywhere in New York or New Jersey for only $400. Only $218 for dome only. Finally all of California is an affordable $585 for a Std. POD. Every shipping price on every model has been dramatically reduced.

You won't have to wait months and months until a truck is "in your neighborhood" to get these super rates. Your POD, tailored to your options, ships from our factory to your door. It's delivered in a lift gate truck by a professional driver, 4-8 weeks after order. Sometimes less. Depending on the time of year. Do you have special delivery instructions? Maybe you live up a mountain. Or you're going to be away certain dates. No problem. We've done it all.

This is huge news for the many astronomers who've told us they'd love to own a POD, but the shipping costs were too high for their budget. Now it's easier than ever to own a POD. For all those were "so close", now is the time to act. Prices may never be this low again.
