Anyone heard from Sporechicks in the last week? Sent them 2 emails about a problem with my order this week and no response(s).

I am not short on patience...in fact I was the one in earlier posts advising others to be patient with their orders with Sporechicks. Yes I know their reputable and I'm not a child...it would take alot for me to claim someone "ripped me off". I'm just wondering if their email service is down again or what. Their replys have usually been same day when emailing them in the recent past and it has now been several days and 2 emails on my part.

On May 21st I sent my order
On June 4th I emailed them
On June 5th they responded saying they got my order and should arive by weeks end
On June 11th I emailed them again and still no response
I ordered from them because their web page said they had same day delivery (I well understand this doesnt mean I'll get it the same day). I also ordered from them because this site says they are "highly recommended". I think I should have my B and Thai strains by now according to the info I've been given. This is my first time doing this, so I'm getting pretty sceptical about this whole deal.
And its not the fact that I'm not counting on seeing my spores, Its the worry of participating in something this illegal and it didn't go thru (i'm well aware that spores are legal, but think about it). I mean, for all I know this board and all the sponsors are some big elaborate plan to infiltrate and bust on mind expanding chemical users like myself (i'm not a criminal dammit). I gave my address and everything. They should be busting my door down any day now.
I'm a little worried too. :|

I wouldn't worry about things like that...most everyone here is legit...though you should have no doubt that some cops(PIGS)/DEA guys hang around here. It is VERY doubtfull any of them are spore vendors however. Still I would never ever post real names,addys, etc. on this or any other boards like it. Spores are LEGAL in all states except California but who knows the oinkers may decide to "watch" someone based upon the experimental materials ordered from a vendor...they will screw you if at all possible in my experience so never post real info in public. I would not worry about giving your mailing addy to a vendor for an order though. The legal system of the United States NEEDS A G/D ENEMA!
I myself am just wondering where my order is as it has been several weeks(since late May like yourself) and I was told it was (re)sent middle of last week supposedly. I've already sent another order this time to Hawk's Eye...I should hope I get my Sporechicks order long before I get theirs.
I expect since you have gotten no reply either as yet that they are having yet more troubles with their email service...who knows. Anybody?

Spore chicks are very dependable. They have moved and are very back logged on e-mails and cannot respond back to everyone. During this time it took them almost 3 wks to get me my spores which i got. The spores were very good which is typical of them.
!!!!! One thing to remember most spore vendors have real jobs and do spore trading on the side. If you are that desperate for your spores then you should take prints of every crop you harvest for rainy days. If you don't then your problem. I feel sporechicks rule and are very legit...

I never questioned their rep. and am well aware of their move. I am also aware some vendors do this as a side job....I am not ignorant of these things. There is no need to "defend" them from my post. I was asking if anyone has been in recent contact with them. I had thought they were back up to speed as they stated and I am a bit worried about the time which is now going on 4 weeks without any sign of my order. As soon as I get my order they have my thanks. As for making my own...I am aware of that procedure as well . Do not assume however that everyone can do this effectively or that everyone has had a prior crop of illegal mushrooms to do so with. If everyone made their own syringes and prints there would be no need for vendors in the first place. Many find it easier to just order syringes that are guaranteed to be viable. :)>

Sorry for the strong post. Damn 4 wks is quite long I hope you did not order too much if they may have screwed up the order. I like the quality of spore chicks products and support that but they should have made it clear to everyone that orders will be slow. I hope they can make all their orders and if they can't they will become unreliable. Well Good Luck. They never returned my e-mails. Just wait and see. If you need spores try another vendor for now. :)

I also sent out an order about 2.5 weeks ago..... emailed twice with no response... On there web site it says orders are shipped out the day they are received.... but I don't think this is the case.
Hope they come soon, but as a back up measure I ordered from Ryche also last week...... for some strang reason I feel like I am going to get ryches first, but I will let you know.

I made a smaller order from Hawk's Eye as well a few days ago. I would really very much like my large order from Sporechicks though. WHERE ARE YOU SPORECHICKS? Jesus Bananas is your email service down again?? I'd switch ISP's if I were you all if so. Such things aren't good for buisness...

I ordered from them a while back when they had the problems with moving and all... I got my order back exactly 3 weeks after ordering it. Not the quickest service, but everyone falls behind. The chicks have been behind for a little while now though... hopefully they can sort there problems out because I think they've got a nice business aside from the fact they've been behind for a little while.

*sighs* I just hope they don't decide to leave the buisness with my order. T'would be my luck...first order to ANY vendor and they decide to go out of buisness. No response to emails from apparently several individuals including me now for over a week. It isn't looking good.

This has been an off and on issue now with them for a couple months. Bottom line is if you run a buisness, the customer doesnt wait on you, you wait on the customer. I dont agree with the buisness on the side crap. If thats what it is, then say so on the site. If you build a rep of fast reliable service and post on your website "same day" shipping, then isnt that whats expected? Im waiting myself to see if they pull out of this and I hope they do. My last order from PF a month ago took 1 week exactly.

Hmmm... when I first started cultivating, 2 yrs. ago, I searched around for a spore source and went with SporeChicks. They were very new at the time from my understanding. But I had a great print back within the week. My guess is they are just like any great small business; being overwhellmed and need to hire some help ;-)

As of today I too have waited 4 weeks. I'm with you GC, I'm pretty sure if they don't arrive by the end of this week we're pretty much screwed. Boy its nice to get screwed the first time around. I guess its a sign that I should just not bother with this stuff.
The irony is that I was gonna order from Hawkseye but changed at the last minute because Sporechicks site said same day delivery.

I wouldn't stop wanting to grow mushrooms just cause I screwed up and picked a spore vendor that wasn't on top of there stuff.... any newbies not wanting to pay a lot of money to find out wether they want to start growing shrooms or not should run over to the FSR and pick up one of the $1 prints.... not a big risk, ralphster is usually on top of things also. You should check up with vendors (send an email double checking that the inventory is correct on there spores page and to make sure they're running smooth) and check msg boards and stuff. The chicks have (had?) a good reputation for there spores... they've just fallen behind, hopefully they'll get back on top of things. Until they do... check out the other vendors.

No one just screwed up and chose a vendor that wasn't on top. SporeChicks came highly recommended at the time of my order at least and I expected a quick delivery as stated on their website. About FSR prints...aye they are $1 a print...cheap, but you have to make your own syringes ...something which a "newbie" may have trouble doing effectively. Plus the fact they then have to locate empty syringes on a vendor page or at a feed store( if there is one in the area) and buy them. It just makes another possible step for failure if your a "newbie". Aye you can try try again if you screw up... I'm sure after some experience making syringes and such becomes a cakewalk, but it may not be a cakewalk for a "newbie". It just seems to be an extra pain in the ass to me that increases risks for a new cultivator. I've seen experienced growers on these boards ordering syringes...what keeps them from making their own ? :)>

I'm just trying to help people out... I made my own syringe the first time I grew (when I was a "newbie" ; ) and I got my syringes from a veteranary supply store online... you can get a box of 100 syringes for about $25 and then 100 needles for about $15... they sell syringes in boxes of 10 and stuff also (what I did), they're pretty cheap and its not a waste of money if it turns out you like shrooms and want to continue growing... if you have a friend that works in the hospital you can also get ahold of syringes pretty easy, its the 18 and 16 gauge needles that aren't as easy to get ahold of. And by screw up I'm just saying that you got the shortest straw, I didn't mean for it to sound like I was calling people screw ups... should have said "just cause you got screwed". Anyway though, just trying to help you all out. Making a syringe isn't hard and off one spore print you'll have enough to make more syringes should something go wrong with your cultivation. $1 for a print, $6 for a syringe from sporeworks (shipping included)... Cheap. To make a spore syringe use some bottled water and suck 10cc or so into the syringe, squirt the water back out into a clean shot glass. Use a clean razor, exacto knife, or the needle on the syringe (after flaming it) to scrape some of the spores into the shot glass of water. Mix it up a little with the needle and then suck it back into the syringe. Whipe the needle off with some alcohol, put the needle cover over it and you've got a nice, sterile spore syringe. Psilocyber's tek. New syringes are sterile out of the package so you don't have to worry about sterilizing a new syringe. After using a syringe I soak it in chlorox for a little while, rinse it with some hot water, soak it in sanitizer, rinse with hot water, and place in a clean plastic bag... the good syringes are autoclavable too, I just use the little method I just said cause its worked fine for me. Just do whatever you want though, if you're not sure about yourself.. spending the extra dough on a spore syringe would be best... just don't use all the spores at once, make sure you get at least one cake to grow out so that you can get some prints. Either way you're gonna have to learn how to make a spore syringe unless you keep on buying premade ones. It sucks that the sporechicks are behind like they are : /
One reason experienced growers will order syringes is because they're cheaper and they've got experience and are less likely to screw up, unlike a "newbie". Why pay $25 for a print when you can get a syringe of the same strain for $15, grow it out and make your own prints. (Spore vendors aren't anywhere near as cheap as the fsr but they have a larger selection and usually have the newer strains before the fsr gets ahold of them... the fsr is gonna have some Puerto Rican cubie prints for $1 shortly though : ))

It is kind of shitty but what can you say if you get ripped of by a spore vendor. This is not the most legal profession but if you still have not gotten your spores by now then you can x them off your list of vendors. I know it sucks but part of the hobby.

Aye I'm aware of all the different spore syringe teks. I've done loads of research into cultivation. I was planning on trying to make my own syringes in fact... from my OWN prints though which would be totally free if I somehow screw things up. I may order from FSR who knows. I wished to avoid attempting to make syringes until the first successfull cultivation had been achieved if possible.
I do have a small order from Hawk's Eye however... that should be here later this week or early next week.
Syringe making is not the point though...the point is WHERE IS MY G/D SPORECHICKS' ORDER? :)> It is VERY annoying to get ripped first time out...expecially when you've been ripped by a supposedly "highly recommended" vendor for alot more than a $1 print. The SporeChicks when they responded to me in the past seemed nice enough and willing to please. I truly hope they are just having some problems that can be straightened out(and EXPLAINED). It is looking worse and worse every day that goes by with no response(s) however. Right now I hold very little hope of getting my order. I fear I have wasted my money and I am not a rich man. Partly my fault I suppose...perhaps I should have made a couple of small orders from several vendors to better judge the service I'd be recieving even if they were "highly recommended". We learn from our mistakes ...at least I do. :)>

Indeed ...what can you do? ..but spread the word...destroy reputations..etc. Like I said I hope SporeChicks shows back up with a good excuse and mine and the other's orders. If they don't...oh well..just more wasted money and one less vendor. If they do I should hope they get those orders out ASAP and offer some legitimate reason besides moving(which they stated was done) for this LONG delay and lack of response to any emails(or posts).

No news yet folks, this is not good, since they always get back to me quickly, but I have not given up hope yet. Maybe something bad happened, used to get my package within like 2 days of them receiving my $$. They are nice people and I cannot see them intentionally screwing people, something had to have happened...

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the shroom cultivating business too. Like the Great Cthulhu I also feel ripped off by the sporechicks. I'm not a well off guy so every penny I spend I expect them to be well spent and I spent $90 on a *!#damn spore kit! I am really trying to keep the faith but I'm losing it the more the days go by without a response. I'm with you GC by feeling cheated.

Hello, I've ordered from Sporechicks several times in the past(none since late last year) and have always received good service and excellent spores. Something bad must have happened to them, I just can't see them deciding to start ripping people off. They answered an email of mine late last month but I have'nt tried to contact them since.... Give them some more time to resolve whatever problem they're having before badmouthing them. Hopefully everything will be resolved soon without further damage to their good reputation.

No one is bad mouthing them....yet. They were good to you in the past ...fine that's you. The present is what concerns me though. Stop trying to defend something that does not need nor deserve defence currently. They have numerous people's orders and have not responded in over a week and 1/2 now. Several including myself have waited a ridiculous amount of time now for their orders(if their email service is down they should still have sent out orders)...over 4 weeks. No one here has straight up said they are ripped off yet it is just appearing that way more and more every day. As I said the SporeChicks were quite nice and willing to please in the past and I hope they return with a legitimate reason for this absence(hopefully no legal or health troubles..) As for their reputation it is currently no longer "good" and will not be "good" again until they get back here and explain what's happened as well as send out everyone's orders.

Ya, I'd be disappointed if I got ripped like that too : / Something I forgot about for anyone that hasn't ordered anything yet is that The Hawk's Eye has that $3 ($4?) replacement thing if you screw up. Thats nice just for a little insurance... also, the spore chick's grow kits are pretty expensive and you can make one almost identical for about #30. You can get those plastic containers for $4ea at wal-mart, perlite is about $2.50 a bag, verm is the same price, peat moss is also pretty cheap. You can find other containers and stuff to use as your casing container or whatever you'd call it.... I use those containers and just cut a hole in the top of them and covered it with plastic wrap and taped it off... they work nice... for under $90 you can get everything you need to grow mushrooms (except like a pressure cooker)... just buy the stuff yourself : )

I understand your anger, I'd be mad too if I paid for something I didn't get. They're in a buisness, I'm sure they understand how things work. If they don't get in touch with you & everyone else soon they won't have a buisness to come back too because even satisfied customers like myself will not order from them again if we see that they're not taking care of their end of the agreement. If they don't make things right with you -"rip 'em to shreds" for all I care.

I feel your pain dimitri, I am also a first timer, and wouldn't you know... all the spore vendors out there, I picked the one that would take going on 4 weeks now and still waiting...also money order was cashed.
Maybe they are saving up for a trip....lol Out of Country....
Well, I also ordered from Ryche a week ago, and have a print with sporeworks on order....
Someday I will get to use all my ingriedients I have collected instead of looking at them...
Peace all

Thanks to a few of you loyal Shroomeryites for alerting me to this thread. For anyone who has a delayed order, of which there are 20-30 total, or if it has been a month or more and the mail is floating around out there, you have every right to wonder what the hell is going on with it. But, IN NO WAY are the Sporechicks a scam, nor is anyone ''screwed.'' If you don't receive what you've ordered, we re-send it, no matter whose fault it is.
I am not downplaying your concern or angst, but c'mon. We would never risk our reputation for money. This is a case of a move, a delay while we created and tested 2 ''clean rooms'' and a major e-mail snafu created by the move. Some people have been affected by the delay while others haven't received orders due to the occasional screw-up by the post office and this combination makes it look bad. But, rest assured we are completely above-board.
Every year a spore vendor is viciously attacked for ''lousy service.'' Other individuals fuel the fire. First PF, then Hawk, now us. Check the previous threads. All I can say is this: We are not better than you; we are you. We're all striving for the same things and occasionally our patience is tested. Or we stumble. Or both. We're not here to hack each other with words or screw somebody.

It wasn't my intent when I started this thread to "attack" you all. I was merely concerned because of your lack of response via email from apparently anyone including me... plus the fact your last email said my order was on it's way ...about 2 weeks ago. I hope you can understand my concern and other's concerns. I am glad to see nothing serious has happened to you though and glad your back online.

I stand corrected, my order problem has been taken care of by the girls and it should be here shortly.
I am glad they are o.k. and will still be providing there service to this hobby.
Thank you for getting to the bottom of my order and fixing what may have been broken.
