They impose minimum order for each order. Therefore, we usually order in bunch once a month. Exact delivery date is not fixed because the deliveries are arranged according to the release date of their new items. We would recommend you should not back order any of the items from those small company items if you want the order soon.

there ARE no such entirely Natural competitors - even worldwide. If one searches carefully the data of such producers, you will find that they all DO include synthetic materials. There is, in our opinion, nothing wrong with this, as long as this fact is stated openly, but that to hide this fact in the "small print" is simply misleading to the customer.

If you have an interest in donating an artifact to the Museum you should contact our curator. The Museum mission statement to preserve the "history, natural history, and prehistory of Horry County" limits our scope of interest in outside artifacts. Storage and funding issues also contribute to the limitations of our collection. We are primarily interested in artifacts from Horry County and in many cases have to turn down objects from outside of the area.

If you would like to see any objects from the Museum's collections not already on public display, please email us to make an appointment. While it will not always be possible to view items requested, the Museum will always try to accommodate such requests.
