    Overview of BBB Rating

    Overview

    The International Star Registry originated the concept of naming stars in 1979. It allows customers to christen a star in the sky with the name of someone special, be it a spouse, child, family member, or friend, and records the new name with the star's telescopic coordinates in the book "Your Place in the Cosmos" which is recorded in the United States copyright office. Each unique star is only named once. The gift package can be ordered either framed or unframed, with the new star name, the dedication date, and the telescopic coordinates of that unique star. The book, "Your Place in the Cosmos," is the only published catalog of star names in the world. It is copyrighted so that others can look up the star name along with its location. This listing is not, nor is it intended to be, recognized by the scientific community, but it is protected by copyright law.

    Products & Services

    This company offers personalized parchment certificates which contain a star's name - chosen by the consumer - along with the star's coordinates and a map of where the star can be found in the sky. The star-naming certificates are novelty gifts, however, and are not real certificates which are recognized by the scientific community or used by it. The star names are recorded in a book which belongs to the company and is copyrighted by it, and consumers should keep in mind that the copyright protects the rights of the company; it does not imply that the U.S. government endorses or vouches for the book's contents. The star name certificates are for entertainment purposes only, and International Star Registry is not a recognized authority to name and designate stars. The company does provide this disclaimer and explains these issues on its website.

    Status:
    Resolved
    I shipped my imaginary star name back to the address listed on their website under the return policy link. It was shipped and made to be verified for pickup by signature and today (a week later) it has still not been picked up. I called the post office, they asked for the package address and then stated “that’s our address and there’s no PO Box here that has 4 digit numbers” their website states P.O. Box 6012 I no longer have the email with confirmation number for order but they can find the order based on my name. I want a refund because they cannot legally name stars so this is a scam. I can’t get in touch with anyone over phone and when I was reading online that only nasa has the authority to name stars I was upset because I literally just gave $160 to a company for a piece of paper for a fake item. The tracking #********************** I also need the refund credited back to a different card because I have a new card. I’d like a call at my number. Other proof in attachments
