DO NOT order from Ralphsters Spores * 1
    #19338197 - 12/28/13 06:41 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Ralphsters Spores stole my money, plain and simple.

I domestically sent $50 EXPRESS to Ralphsters Store.
I paid extra money to have my order shipped back EXPRESS as well with a TRACKING NUMBER.

After a couple weeks of waiting, I sent them this message:

Oct. 10:
"You have taken too long to send me the package.  Please just cancel my order and keep the money.. I do not wish to continue business.  Thanks."


He sent me this back....


Oct 11th:
"We have never kept anyones payment without sending their order and do not intend to start now.

Our sincere apologies for the order delays and lack of response to any emails you may have sent.

Since our recent move 2 months ago we have had extreme problems with our internet, preventing us from updating our site, order statuses, retreiving orders to be filled and getting or replying to emails.
We seem to finally have the problems solved and will be completing all outstanding orders and email replies as soon as possible.

This has been a very big problem for us and we assure you that all orders will be filled.
Our only hope is you can forgive how these delays and problems we have had, made us look, and affected your order.

Thank You
Ralph_Canada"



Okay, fair enough.  I respected his reason for the delay and had no problem with it.  So I kept waiting.
I finally see it updated on the website as shipped.  But where's my tracking number? 


"I see you've shipped it, thanks.  can I get a tracking number? "



NO RESPONSE


So on October 31st, I send him another message

"It looks like my order has still not arrived.  I have given up checking my mail.. let me know if you decide to follow through with the shipment."

November 1st
He replies with this:
"Your order was shipped on Oct 17th,
It was sent to **********.

Thank You
Ralph_Canada"

November 2nd..

I'm starting to get fed up here...
so I ask him again for the tracking #:

"i still have not received it
if you shipped it express like what i payed for, you would be able to give me a tracking #"

November 10th, I'm starting to get pissed...

"Well you have caused me quite the headache over all this.. I still have not received my package, and if you actually sent it Express as I paid you to, you would have a tracking number so it's obvious you are lying about sending it out in the first place.  It has a significant amount of time and I have given you more than one chance.. so I will be writing a bad review of your business on Shroomery.org, BBB, and filing small claims against you. "

November 11...


Your order was shipped out Express Post and returned to us as undeliverable.
For us to reclaim this package we have to pay the return express post fee again.
If you want this reshipped, I will send it by regular post, if you provide a good mailing address.
I will also increase your order to 4 cube syringes of your choice to make up for the extra you sent in for Express Post, and the delays.

If this is acceptable to you.
Place an order for 4 cube syringes on the site and write Replacement in the comment box.
Then email me the new order number. I'll take care of the rest.

This is the best I can do, your choice, let me know.

Thank You
Ralph_Canada


i responded with this:
"How about finding out why it was "undeliverable"?  If I had a tracking number it would have probably showed the reason.  If you send the next one, it may be undeliverable too... if we can find out what went wrong, then maybe we can get somewhere."


It is now December 28th and still no response.


Let me make something clear though.  I am NOT complaining about not receiving an item from Ralphsters Store.  If it was actually undeliverable, that's fine.  What I AM complaining about is the fact that he could never provide me with a tracking number.  I paid extra money to have it shipped EXPRESS, which in Canada is always tracked.  Every time I requested the tracking number he ignored it. Even in my last message, he clearly lied about shipping it EXPRESS because in Canada they always attach the tracking number to it.  He has failed to provide this for me and I think he realized he was caught in a lie.

I have heard numerous bad reviews about them lately.  I will take them to small claims.  There was nothing I did that was illegal by ordering this, and I don't grow mushrooms.  So I will take him to court and I won't even get nervous about it.

to clarify, "always in Canada" should be "always with Canada Post", which is the company that was used..

Ralphsters has azure spores from Wisconsin..is this strain really from Wisconsin?  And are they wild? I'm from Wisconsin and have been hunting here for a few years now and have never crossed cyans or azures,or have I even heard of them being here besides cultivated by staments I think. If they're really here in Wisconsin I will be syked for sure! ...I didn't try to start a topic in this thread,but for some reason I couldn't start a new one.

a lot of times when strains are named after a state, its just becuase that sample was collected from the state. often times its more 'interesting' when a strain shows up in a state that its never been seen in before. and often times, when a strain is found where its not common, it will have genetic variances that separate it from its sister strains due to the genetic isolation of that population. so they may not be common in Wisconsin, they may even be really rare. but since someone found this strain in Wisconsin once, and named it after Wisconsin, it probably has slight variances from its sister strains; and its named as such so people will know that it is slightly different.

also from what i have seen from multiple vendors, sometimes names like the state it was found in are given to strains that cant be identified 100%. 'identifying' a strain is crazy hard, super microscope work on spores. so they take their best guess at what it looks like phenotypically, and name it that. the state name is sometimes an indicator of "we are *fairly* sure this is such-and-such strain".

Understood... My plan is to spead some azure and/or cyan myc onto some logs/deadwood /chips in the kettle moraine forest here in southeast wi. From all the info I've gathered It should be doable.

This thread has been closed.

Reason:
Sorry to hear that, but Ralphster is no longer a sponsor here because of these types of issues so you will have to deal with them directly.
