Disappointed with Sporeworks

Just received an order from sporeworks, and while it got here in a timely fashion (just ordered last thursday), I'm pretty disappointed. Ordered the 4 pack their pick special, mentioned I came from shroomery. Got all excited opening the package and seeing that there were in fact 5 syringes in there. I was literally giddy with joy. Then I took them out to see which strains I got. I didn't get strains. I got one strain for all 5 syringes, including the freebie. I mean, I appreciate the good deal and the freebie, but if I had wanted just one strain, I would have paid a lot less to get just one syringe. I suppose I can't be incredibly angry, they did get me exactly what I ordered...4 syringes of their choice, but it doesn't make any sense at all to only give me one strain, and I feel like I kinda got ripped off a little. Why would I pay for 5 syringes of one strain when one syringe would give me all the spores I could possibly need to study that one type of mushroom? All in all, thanks for the quick delivery, sporeworks, but I still think that the single strain is pretty much BS.

Of course their choice. But why would I order 5 different syringes of the same spores? That doesn't make sense, and I kinda wish I could return them and get my money back, as 2+ syringes of one type of mushroom is no more useful than 1 syringe.

Yeah, because the cost of 4 syringes of differing strains is $34. The cost of 4 syringes of the same strain is $34. If I only needed/wanted one strain, one syringe would do, which would cost $10. So we're looking at a waste of $24.

Ok, Brainiac, I'm already tired of you. This post isn't here to argue with you, it's to post a review and complaint. Whether you agree or not is not the point. So if you don't have something useful to say, I don't see a reason for you to even post here. Either take the information to heart or ignore it, that's how a review works.

Its a valid complaint. I'm looking into it right now. I personally wouldn't be too happy with 5 syringes of the same strain either.

I posted here because I didn't think of it as right to call or contact the company, because they technically did what they were required to do to fulfill their end of the bargain, just not in a way that I see as satisfying.

I don't have enough posts yet to get to the market, I think. However, I wanted to post an update. Workingman helped me out, sporeworks contacted me, and sent me out 2! new syringes absolutely free. I wasn't expecting anything to actually come of this thread, but since it has I have to say that I'm incredibly impressed with the service and professionalism exhibited by sporeworks and workingman. Many kudos, and I know for sure where I'll be getting all the mycology supplies I need from now on. Thanks sporeworks, and once again thank you very much Workingman. You are a gentleman and a scholar

yeah, sporeworks wont let you down. with so many happy customers, you can see they get alot of business. its easy to lose track of things or make a slight mistake, see it from their shoes.
they have always been quick to correct things though, and are more than generous.

Glad to see the situation rectified. It was a very valid complaint and I am very impressed by workman and sporeworks' handling of the situation. I can't think of another vendor...of anything that wouldn't come in right of the back with some douchebaggy (?) comment about how it was their choice, after all.
Oh. And Braniac, you're a fucking dick. Every thread I've ever seen you post in where you didn't want something you've been a dick. Why don't you try not being so much of a dick? Dick.
