Alright, so I've ordered from three sponsors (T.H.E., Lil Shop 'O Spores & Sporeworks).
I ordered once from T.H.E & once from Everything Mushrooms. Both of those orders went perfectly fine, no complaints at all.
However, Sporeworks just really blew me away. I've now placed a total of three orders with Sporeworks. My first order was just a simple "grab bag" syringe special where they chose the syringe for me, and it only cost me something like $17 total cost after shipping.
I told them I was coming from the Shroomery, and I got two syringes in the mail (that's like $8.50 a syringe).
I received my package on the third day after placing my order (ordered on a Thursday, package was in my mailbox on Monday).
I was so happy, that I went and ordered a "four pack special" (four syringes of my choosing) and once again, I got an extra free syringe. That order, I ordered on a Monday and had it in my mailbox on Friday (I ordered very late on Monday).
The last time I ordered, I ordered just one syringe of my choosing, and told them how thrilled I was with their customer service, quality of product & that I won't ever be going anywhere else for spores (which I won't).
Well, that last order I placed on a Wednesday, and I had my spores on my porch on Friday MORNING! They upgraded my shipping to UPS instead of just regular USPS AND there was still an extra syringe in the box!
I didn't ask for it & I only paid for one syringe and paid for regular shipping.
Sporeworks is seriously a real class act, and I felt the need to share my experience with others. There won't be another vendor to ever get my business.
Oh, and I should mention, all the syringes were so packed with spores, I had no problem getting a ton of them out onto the free slide they also put in every order.
Every syringe has had spores show up beautifully, without even so much as a single contamination spore...when looking at them with a microscope.
Now while the same could also be said about the syringes from the other two vendors I ordered from, sporeworks has a more "modern" approach to things. I am able to track my order from start to finish (from the very second I order, to when their packing it all the way to when it's shipped...along with a tracking number so I can see where my package is at all times).
The communications from their site are fully automated, so I'm not left wondering if they've shipped out my order yet.
I also didn't get a free syringe from either of the other two sponsors (not that I expect to get anything for free, but it was certainly a nice surprise to get it from sporeworks). Then on that last order to be upgraded to two day shipping via UPS and still get the free syringe...well, that kind of a gesture speaks for itself.
Anyway, I'll stop rambling, but I just wanted to show some love for sporeworks more publicly and appropriately than just saying "thanks" on their order form notes section.
