What People Say About GovSci

"When I initially began my working with GSS, I lacked the knowledge on how to request a quote or initiate an order with a GSS supplier. It was reassuring to discover that I could rely on the assistance of any GSS customer service representative I encountered."

"It has been a pleasure working with Government Scientific Source. Your support on the projects have been great, you have kept track of the requisitions, PO’s and submittal returns on the specifications to ensure everything was done correctly and on time."

"I wanted to let you know that you have some of the finest and most dedicated customer service reps I have ever worked with. I’m in my retirement years and it takes a lot longer for me to learn a process, and your staff respond so patiently! In fact, they make me look good"
