Hey all
I've heard Ralphster is the O.G. hands down best place to get spores from...
However I went to his site and signed up but then had to send money via the mail...
I was like...uhhh no...I live in a plastic card, 1 click, next day air type of world...
SO to anyone, or Raphster... How are payments best paid? Is there something easier than sending money in an unmarked plain envelope? Do you accept paypal? What about fresh fruits or uncirculated silver bullion?
jk- I know people are going to say : "you fuckin noob, newbie, noobster...if you cant figure this out stop posting on here" but all i can find from research on here is 8 year old posts where Ralphster was part of 'FSR' and was giving out prints for donations?! WTF happened to the world!?!
I can't believe I missed out on the golden years...

Pretty sure Ralph does that because credit cards are a major expense.
The other vendors take credit cards. I use SporeWorks, personally.

thanks for the redirect. I guess Paypal is off limits as well then? Damn the government for forcing us into this position.

Yeah.. I agree with the money order. Got mine at a grocery store. And from my experience, it was quick. 6 days from mailing it out to when I got my spores from Ralph. It's a little inconvenient, sure. But I have no complaints about it!

well.. I just got my PF classic from sporeworks.
I tried the spore store originally and that shit was fucked up.
In comparison to sporeworks, the spores I got from sporestore were very....different. both in clumped appearance and shaken up... and the only thing i grew out of 12 jars was trich. Over and over and over again. I'm pretty sure the solution wasn't sterile.
I just spotted my first sign of bright white myc in my sporeworks jars... I've been peeking cuz im a noob and need to inspect to understand growth patterns still...
Anyway I'll try ralphs out eventually....

Ralph has always done great by me, I never have had any duds, I wouldn't put cash in an envelope either, just get yourself a money order at your bank or at a walmart someplace, its gonna cost a couple dollars for the money order, Hey CVS drugstore does Money orders for 99 cents!!and its gonna be a better thing for you in the long run,, a credit card can trace things to you and your supplier, if you aver have big problems in the future, think about it its a permanent record to be used against you.

place cash in a greeting card or wrapped in any opaque, non-transclusent, material.
noone will know there is money in the envelope.
sending cash via post isnt as risky as you might think. tampering with mail is a federal offence. i would like to think that most postal workers observe this rule. srictly.

I'll concede that point (MJ). I should have simply said that I have never had a problem and my point was more to the trustworthiness of Ralph's than a renegade postman.
