Questions aboot sporebank.com(I know they're not a sponsor)

Ya so originally I was gonna order from sporeworks but their credit thing was down, and I was too lazy to call in. I found sporebank.com, ordered some spores Sat the 7th.
I recieved an email today around 1pm saying they were sent, when I check the USPS website with the tracking number it says it hasn't been sent. Not really worried about that, but my card was charged to freesatellitefta.com.
Why would that be?
Should I worry?
Also if spores are sent by the USPS, will they but the package in the mailbox if small enough, and is the package usually small enough?
thank you fellers for your time

They use a different name on the credit card info so it doesnt look suspicious. all sites that sell questionable items do it

yoiu can post non sponsor links on the shroomery.
sporebank has been known for a long time that they are not trusted.#
Always stick with a s hroomery sponsor.
Patience is the key, getting your spores a few days earlier isnt going to make much difference.
they stay in business because who is going to stop them????

Don't worry about the USPS tracking information. That you got a tracking number only means that they packed the order and purchased postage. The tracking on the USPS website will not update until the package enters or leaves a sorting facility. USPS tracking is not even really true tracking. It's just delivery confirmation. If functions like tracking because they will usually scan the package at sorting facilities along the way. So don't worry about it. Orders are usually sent in a bubble envelope or the smallest flat rate box and will fit into your mailbox.

But if their syringes are bunk who is going to buy from them again? I'd think that a business would want repeat customers. So supplying quality services would make your business more successful over one that took your money and provided a crappy service. It seems like it would quickly go out of business. So how do they stay in business?

You may want to ask Spores101 how they stay in business. This forum and probably a few others are chock full of pissed off Spores101 customers.
I guess the key for some shady operations is advertising in High Times or whatever. Some stoner thinks it'd be a great idea, orders from them once, and thinks he fails from his technique, gives up. I bet there are hundreds of thousands of people that do that, year after year. If I was an immoral, unethical asshole I might even consider doing what they do for a living. Nothing is even questionable if you're shipping spore syringes filled with crap.
Anyway...using a credit card to buy spores may not be the wisest move. There's a pinned thread somewhere around here on security, and it includes mailing cash or a money order for things like this. Cash = no paper trail, and believe it or not, the postmaster general isn't sitting around with a letter opener just waiting to land your $20 envelope so he can buy hookers and blow.

Before I found this site I ordered from microsporetech and nothing happened, not even contams. 3 weeks later they started to smell bad so I got rid of them.
Then since I had found this place I ordered from a sponsor and it works!

How can you tell if you get good stuff or shit, just grow it and good luck or have a microscope?
Cuz I got 2 12cc syringes and this is my first time. So that's gonna be a lot of work for no results. Maybe just try 5 cakes first and see if they work I guess.

Yep- shoot two with one syringe, two with the other, leave one blank as a control to test your sterile procedures vs syringe contams.

That would be your best bet, although from the sites reviews and other peoples experiences with them I would not expect to much.

This thread has been closed.
Reason: Off topic!
You chose to order from a known scammer. A quick search will reveal most people who order from them get nothing, but a few actually end up with bunk syringes.
Bottom line; we only allow discussion of authorized vendors who have been vetted so you can be sure you'll receive what you pay for. RR
