Any preferred spore suppliers?

Before I begin I don’t think this thread would belong under the ‘Vendor’ forum or the ‘Contam’ forum. If I am wrong I apologize up front. So here I go…
I’ve ordered and used spores (syringes and prints) from three of the vendors in the Shroomery vendor list in the past. I’ve had good luck with all of them but better luck with one certain batch from one of the vendors. I am not going to mention the vendor out of fairness to this question/thread. Before I ask my question here is the reason I ask. A little story.
I also ordered several syringes from a vendor not on the Shroomery preferred vendor list. To my chagrin the syringes were a complete bust. EVERY last jar ended up contaminated. I did several BRFs several Rye, several WBS and I even tried some LCs. I’ve never had more then one or two jars out of a bunch (12-24 at a time) get contaminated like this; all with Trich; usually my bad. But I bought more then 24 syringes from this vendor because they were running a BOGO free sale. The vendor was Sporebank. I will never buy from them again and will only stick with Shroomery vendors going forward. Don’t fall for their (Sporebank) crap! I knew the BOGO sale was too good to be true. But I thought I would take the chance to grow my collection with a few new strains. I guess I know why they were BOGO! Damn!
Literally two days after I PCd the last contaminated jar from that crappy vendors Trich spores I received several syringes and a couple prints from a Shroomery vendor and started them up. Within 1 day, 24 hours or so, I saw tiny clusters of bright white mycelium popping up all over my rye. I did not change my methods at all from the Sporebank spores. I even used the same jars and lids after I PCd the hell out of them. I did not ‘decontam’ my room. I simply cooked the dead jars and started the new vendors spores. That was three or four days ago.
Today the jars are already 50%. I shook them yesterday and today they are already recovering and really cooking along. This batch is all rye.
The moral of the story is - - - Stick with Shroomery vendors! Doh!
So now my question: Does anyone here care to mention their preference as to what Shroomery vendor they prefer for syringes and/or prints?
I am more curious then anything else. All of the Shroomery vendors are good but I know people have their preferences or favorites. And I would like to know and also know why.

Huge fan of SporeWorks, but this recent business with Ralphster (plus his new website) makes me want to try him. But I don't buy spores often...

Not the bad stuff, the good stuff that happened in response. Realistically, any business will have troubles. How those are handled tells you a lot about the business owner.

These, "troubles" happen often. FAR too often. IMO, id bet most people don't say anything notifying (Like a post) for us to know of the, "Majorities" of the troubles: in attempts to evade the fan-boy heat. You seen how a few people used my post as a gateway to finally say something about there unsatisfactory opinion. I guess most people are blindsided with free stuff and cheap products. I enjoy quality, consistency, and assurance.

I'm with Boris here...I had a problem with a Pan Cyan syringe from Ralphsters once...He replaced it immediately, but I guess repeated mistakes/problems should be factored into a vendor's reputation even if he DOES make good...
I think I'm sticking with Sporeworks...
Still...Probably turning into a Sponsor Forum thread...

I've had good luck with Hawk's Eye, I've always gotten good communication and very viable syringes. It often takes a while to get to you, though.

I order through both, although ralph has been getting my business lately. a couple years ago i got a bad syringe from him and emailed him about it, within a few days i had a nice little package with the strain i ordered in it, along with 3 i haven't tried, really appreciated that. sporeworks, i've never had an issue with, but i haven't ordered as much from them. either way is a sure bet though. good luck

I just used spores101. It took about three days to process my order and a additional 3-5 days to receive my order. There were no additional perks other then a discount code(I found on shroomery)for $5.00 off. Overall I would rate them a 7.5 on a scale of 1-10.

This thread has been closed.
Reason: I'm locking all four of these spores/vendor threads. They're off topic here, and we've been tolerant of one thread in particular, but now it's spawned many more.
All of the shroomery vendors will provide a quality product or you get your money back. If they fail to live up to that, they soon are no longer vendors here. That's the fact. In addition, spores are sold for microscopy identification use. Putting vendor threads in a cultivation forum is not appropriate. RR
