I guess it isn't beyond possibility, although my good friend Joe tried using one of the syringes I ordered to knock up his substrate with the same results.
Problem solved though, as I'm getting a print mailed tomorrow.
I know I'll have results when I make the syringe, and if I fail, then I'll have to reexamine my procedure, and where I went wrong.
At this point though, I'm not entirely convinced it's on me.

Yes, there is still the "or" factor, but you normally don't hear about heat killing spores, it's usually the winter that does it.
I have to say though, I was making "perfectly sterile" LC's and still managed to have them grow nothing, or in one case grow beautiful looking mycelium... that belonged to trich and not mushrooms.

Could you tell your LC had the trich by looking at it or did you need to knock up a jar to tell. May call myself out as a noob, but I'm still not totally clear on how to differentiate btwn good myc growing in an LC and a contaminated LC

Had to do up a jar.
The myc was white and perfect looking. Still to this day I would have though it was perfect.... and even today it would have given me trich. Hah.

generally this hobby draws people who are very dutiful and detail oriented, especially people like the sponsors who do it for a living.
It's entirely possible that the inside of the delivery truck heated up, or the package sat for a spell in direct sunlight. Most reports of failed syringes that I've seen are coming from hotter regions of the country. People will say, 'I've gotten em just fine when it's hot.' Well I'm sure it's true. Just likes its true that packages occasionally overheat and get ruined. It's a roll of the dice in July and August in hot climates.
It's pretty hard to believe that any of the sponsors would be intentionally ripping you off. Especially considering spores are essentially free. They wouldn't be doing themselves any favors in shorting you.

I would have to agree with this statement. I can guarantee you that no one is out to rip anyone off due to the fact that there's really nothing to rip you off on. The sellers no matter who they are ,are more than generous to make up for things that may have happened that they know that are not their fault. They understand that there are newbies out there that are screwing things up on their first and second run before they figure out how to do an L,C.etc. and they are more than sympathetic to that fact,no questions asked. All newbs must be patient and study hard before rendering accusations. Not to belittle anyone,its just the truth.

I agree that they could fuck up one. Not 8. I have successfully made over 40 syringes. None have been 'fucked up'.

Yes! Those spores can be subject to some pretty respectable heat and not go bad.
