Ralphsters holloween special...need a quick answer
#22457389 - 10/31/15 11:39 AM (8 years, 2 months ago) |

Ralphsters is having a Halloween special. Do I need to place the order by the end of today to get the special or does ralphsters need to receive the paper order in the mail by today? Basically, if I make the order today, obviously, they won't get it for at least a few days in the mail. Thanks. And will I still be able to get the free strain of the month if I place this order?

Ummm....I didn't think Ralphsters was a vendor here anymore. From what I have read, you would be lucky to even get your order. Maybe someone else has better info?

Ok well according to this list, ralphsters is still on the list of vendors. vendor list.
Also, I'm ordering a penis envy syringe from sporeworks. Do they have any special perks for shroomery members like a free syringe or whatever? Thanks.

I guess I must've been mistaken. Hopefully somebody else will chime in with something about Ralphsters. As far as Sporeworks goes, make sure that you include in the note "shroomery member", upon your check out, and you won't be disappointed.

He is no longer a shroomery sponsor. That vendor list is not the sponsor list. Stick with the sponsors. Why is that vendor list even a thing?
A quick search for ralphster44 shows his final rant.

The Canadian side of Ralphsters is taking orders and not shipping anything claiming health issues.

Ralphster is a scammer. IF you get anything it's all bunk. But most of the time nothing shows up. Don't trust that asshat.

Well I guess if it's not viable or bunk, at least I only spent half my budget with the halloween special. I will order from a sponsor. Didn't realize there was a difference between "vendor" and "sponsor" ugh.

I have purchased from him in the past before. I've ordered several syringes from Ralphsters. They were very good in my microscopy studies. Should I just buy the same strains from another vendor and experiment with them? At least with the halloween special I didn't spend my budget.

Its a fair mistake to be honest why on earth do we have a vendor list when non sponsors aint allowed anyway?

Yah man why the hell is there a "vender" link on the top of the damn website?? Community>Links>Venders>Mycology...and then ralphstersspores is right there in plain site. That just isn't right. Shroomery website developers need to remove that link right now in my opinion.
Well fuck it, I emailed ralphstersspores and told them to cancel the order and to send back my cash. I'm not going to risk having bunk syringes.

Glad I did a little research and came across this thread. I ordered from Ralphsters for YEARS and then I stopped the hobby. I was about to order from him but decided to search the forums for anything about him, if he is even still in business and etc. Surprised to hear all this.

This. Ralph is certainly an asshat, and a thief. There's also a couple reviews up on the BBB, Better Business Bureau of Canada claiming that he also doesn't send anything after receiving money.
Fuck him.
He ripped me off for 100$ earlier this year.

Ralphster is currently in business.
We all throw a hissy fit once in a while.
I've had several excellent exchanges with him over the years.
I've always been pleased with his products and service.

How are things working out?
BTW, Ralphster endorses Midwest Grow Kits
(you get 5% off your order if you use the code RALPH)

I've had good luck with their substrate jars and grain (see below)
Fast service, well packed, and great products.

Anyone w bad reviews, has a poor practice. Ensure ur products, no bad reviews. PERIOD.
Rip people off and send them contaminated shit, get bashed HARD. And expect ZERO business in the long run
Go w a sponsor who doesn't have bad reviews, period. No ifs ,and,or buts
Genetics are everything

There's not a business on the planet without bad reviews.
People criticize Apple. People criticize Microsoft. Whatever . . .
Heck, even the Grand Master himself, PF, likely had customers who dissed him.
I look at the ratio. If someone has 5 positive reviews for every negative one, there's good chance I'l have a good experience.
People will eat one meal at a restaurant that doesn't live up to their high expectations and will go online and post scathing reviews.
Oftentimes, for every negative review, there are many satisfied customers who are quiet.

Buy weak product if u want.
I do not see ur points being very valid in a mycologist situation.
Its more than a blow up were talking about here. Running contamed shit is a hassle. Have fun w that vendor...
I'd suggest trying to obtain wild fruits to clone optimally or wild prints to start w. That's where it's at imo
Choose your spore source wisely my friends.
Last time I checked, the vendor I went through ,DIDN'T HAVE A BUNCH OF BAD REVIEWS FROM TRUSTED PEOPLE ON THIS SITE!!! lol
I got decent stuff from raulph once upon a time, multiple times back when he was a sponser. I'm wise enough now to know better now .
In reality, regardless of what you or I have said on this thread raulphsters was already burnt on here thanks to this thread and many others. His rep will prob always be burnt here it would seem. I'm just here to make sure that their reputation they deserve continues. Trusted cultivators do not lie on here...
Hopefully u get some decent stuff from raulph sry for the bad new bro

I received 7 syringes from Ralph recently and they all did fine.
One showed bacteria on a plate (could have been operator error), but grew fine on a PF cake and I was able to make clones.
I have not experienced your observations of "weak" and "contaminated" products.
Unsure of your implication of inferior genetics. After all, a cube is a cube.
BTW, I think the simplest easiest way to clone is to snag clean in-vitro pins and then plate and test them.

Ya a cube is a cube lmao ok that soooo old. Look at some pictures, APE suuure look diff than OI or PE or KS ("cloud" like mushrooms I was gettin.. w ks) or KSSS or GT ect....
It seems u have much to learn like we all do my friend
It's nothing personal, trusted cultivators got aspergillus infected cultures from him do some searches on here..

In years past I had no problems with Ralphsters, but I sent in a payment 4 months ago, says it has arrived. Nothing from him, after checking on here to see what is going on it all makes sense.
Time to order from somewhere else since Ralphsters is not shipping what is paid for.
