Maybe they were taken by your customs?
You could call your credit card company and stop payment.
I have no idea what your laws are like, but here you can just go to the hardware stores and get needles and syringes for cattle. You can also go to the pharmacy in a pinch.

Now that you mention this... One day on the way home from work I took a wrong turn and drove past a few places selling massive bags of horse shit and a feed store or 2. Now I just gotta remember WHICH wrong turn I took...
Reckon "Uncle ____ told me to come get some 16/18g needles and 10ml syringes for the pigs" will cover it as far as questions go? (If I'm asked at all). Alternatives include "none ya business, man" and "for mycology, my good sir! *insert some student/university blah blah here* I wish to inject spore solution into a jar of sterile mushroom substrate but I lack the required equipment!". The last one is my fav, the first is my best bet... the second one would be a great option except I think they are within their rights to refuse me service...

Excellent! If I get my $$$ back I'm sure they'll pay attention to me 
And I know, right? I have bugger all money but more so I'm pissed off they're wasting my time and screwing me around. If I do get my money back and keep those 2 big syringes, I'd call that square.
I just tell them i make oyster mushrooms and sell them at the farmers market. Then ask them to come out next month. It always works.

If payment has already cleared will calling my credit card company accomplish anything?
Hardware stores certainly do not have them. Pharmacies only have 1ml syringes and 28g needles for diabetics. I went asking around once before, but they said "we don't DO that sort of thing here, sir... please leave" - I had legit and believable excuses, too but they were thoroughly unimpressed.
Tell them you are looking for 18/16G needles, If they think your injecting drugs with that say "Honestly Would you stab yourself with an 18G, if you COULD use a 26g?" Then bring up mycology.. Dont lie.. Say you grow mushrooms... Go on about the PF tek, and everything you know about mycology, BESIDES THE MAGIC PART You grow "Blue Oysters" and "Portobello" Trust me it works.
But for real If they thinnk you want the needles for drugs just look at them and be like are you stupid?....LOL I get mine from a local TSC store as cattle needles. 16/18g. "Veterinary Use Only"
Worst case PM me, And ill send you a few new ones that you can re-use for free.

I would try calling the company. If they don't answer the phone, then the company doesn't exist. All companies have a phone.

Yea that would piss me off... But like I said, I can hook ya up with a few as long as shipping wont cost me an arm and a leg  
I personally use 5ml syringes for most stuff.. Thats because anything big is always G2G my 30ml syringe is only used for injecting water into my subs when they are getting a soaking.

Didn't know people still did that. Puncturing a living entity with any size needle seems unfavorable, if your grow is drying out, id look twoards means of rehydration, spray bottle, tap, spicket, spitting, if your sub could talk it would say the same.

I have called the company and got the answer-phone. I left a message and will try again tomorrow. I called the bank - a payment cannot be taken back, and there's basically nothing they can do for me.
Here in the US, if you call your credit card company and tell them you ordered something but the company never sent it to you, then they will refund your money. It is part of the credit rights we have here. I do not know what laws NZ has, but it seems if you tell them you bought something but the company never sent it to you, there sould be some way to argue the point.

Infinitys Minute said: Called the company again. They got my message from the other day (I spoke calmly, but emphasised how pissed off I was at their lack of customer service) and was transferred to someone straight away that knew who I was and was waiting for my call. He apologised profusely and told me it should arrive as soon as tomorrow. He claims the courier company came and I was not home, so they took the package back. Seems fishy to me... the other package was left on my doorstep. Why wouldn't they be sent together?
At any rate, tomorrow I will have syringes!!! Hopefully... Today I'll probably give my siliconed 60ml a try and do my 4 large bags at least... Probably should do the PF cakes while I'm at it *sigh*

I don't think your myc wants you to spit on it, just quietly... 
The problem as I understand it, is that to properly hydrate a dense brick of mycelium is not easy. You sort of have to force that water in there... That's why people fully submerge cakes for 24hrs. I've herd of people doing side-by-side tests on the weight increase through dunking and injection and (from memory) they were equally good at hydrating the sub... but injecting took far less time. I haven't heard of people dunking AND injecting before... But that makes complete sense. Should speed things up a whole lot hydrating from inside and out.
You're the man, PureHash -     for being awesome.
............. in the future I see possible nutrient spikes or something crazy you just insert into your bulk prior to colonization to encourage fruitting, or help prevent xxx. But your myc blocks are living being, if they had mouths and could speak Canadian, they would politely ask pure hash. To quit stabbing them, and pre plan ahead and just soak longer.
Also I doubt scientifically they are actually properly soaking up the water when you marinate them. Think of yourself. If I had to rehydrate you, I could give you water and time, or I could RAM a needle in your neck, force 60ccs of water in your neck and make it a tek......

Infinitys Minute said: I think it's awesome you have your own beliefs on this matter... It's good to see someone think for themselves instead of just accepting the norm.
However not everyone believe their mycelium is sentient... and they (we I should say) are entitles to our opinion on the matter as much as you are. You find it cruel he stabs his myc with needles... I find it cruel that people slit the throats of healthy animals and hang them by the ankles until they bleed dry. The world is a cruel place and it takes all kinds if you want the full picture.
Not being a dick here, but yes I would get more water into my circulation from a needle in the neck with 60cc water than from sitting in 60cc of water??? Also humans and mushrooms are far from the same. If they were, the mycelium would not be the equivalent of the human neck... that's just a strange comparison to make 
How can a 'nutrient spike' encourage fruiting? More importantly why are you trying to encourage an UNCOLONISED sub to fruit???
If you think the mycelial network is sentient, what of the fruits? Is it an ethical issue in your opinion to pick them? if not, why? (Genuine curiosity). I would assume that prematurely ripping a shroom off the sub would be more harmful than a tiiiiiny hole, no? Also I don't think the myc would enjoy drying out if it were sentient. I think it would be like "AAAAHHH FUCK I'M DYING, AAAAAHHHH!!!" and thank you for the H2O booster 
What I'm doing a bad job of saying is, believe what you want, talk about it if you want, but don't tell anyone their beliefs are wrong... That's just ignorant.
There is a huge difference between buthering an animal to feed my specifies, and a bad mycology practice. We don't twist and pull our fruits when harvesting, because of the crater it leaves. It's the equivalent to an open wound on our own skin. Go to your pf cake rip a chunk out , watch it die and get contamed, than Youll realizes its alive, and does not enjoy the puncture wound.
Correct captain crunch, but if you drank the water like your functionally designed to you'd be 10x better off than me jacking you in the neck....... both sides, use both sides of brain
The nutrient spike would be something that the myc leeches from an alien object, installed prior to colonization, this all made up in my head currently,although is already in use elsewear............. moving on
Oh wait there you posted it.... your behind on your harvesting, read up on a knife
In the real world adults tell each other their beliefs are wrong all the time, when children mature they learn to recognize they're not right all the time, and use that knowledge to advance.

If myc was sentient I would day it would not enjoy being spat on at all either.
If they do not like being prodded at with a needle I can't imagine they enjoy having their fruits harvested, whether by ripping or by knife. Does lettuce also have feelings? Is it unethical to rip a leaf off that lettuce and eat it? Should I only eat animals then, seeing as they apparently do not have feelings?
"In the real world adults tell each other their beliefs are wrong all the time, when children mature they learn to recognize they're not right all the time, and use that knowledge to advance." I loved it when you said that. When you mature, realise you are wrong and use that knowledge to advance, let me know  You are the one claiming to know better than the experts what is and is not bad mycology practice.
Do you per chance bury spent cakes/substrate? I can't imagine someone who feels the way you do about myc forcing it to fruit until it dies and throwing it in the bin...
