I've noticed that I've been getting some bad press lately. I sincerely apologize about my email delays. Yes my server has sucked lately and half the time I can't even log in myself. Not to mention equipment failures, FedEx fuckups and the ever present cash-flow dilemmas. There was a shit load of rainy days about a month ago that REALLY fucked me up and put me behind in a big way. I work outdoors the majority of the time and do everything from collecting shit, processing shit, shipping shit, banking, bookwork, taxes all by myself. Not to mention trying to deal with my personal life. I don't have employees. I can't afford employees. I'm not getting rich doing this. I try to keep prices reasonable and my product consistent. I have ALWAYS given members of this community better deals than anyone else on the internet. In my opinion concentrating on getting orders out is more important than concentrating on "Where's my shit? Emails". I do answer emails. However it may take a few days, sometimes several, it just depends on how wore out I am at the end of the day. The bottom line is I'm doing the best I can and apologize about any inconvenience my correspondence skills may have caused. I'm loyal to this community and will continue to deliver the best product I can. 
BTW I have alot of product going out all week and I'll be caught up and can spend more time in front of a computer.

don't be afraid to hit the "pause" button if you have to, to catch up on orders. people will understand, you get to fair behind it will all fall apart and nobody wants that.
just some friendly advise.

Glad to hear everythings well. My only "advice" if that's what you want to call it. Coming from a fellow business mans POV is, communication is key when it comes to customer service.
I ended up placing an order with another company all the while wanting to just put in an order with you. I however will always need more shit and my next order WILL be with you for sure.

Maybe you should try using an auto-responder to your emails. If you simply explained your situation and auto-replied to all emails problems like this would be avoided. Well, that's my 2 cents.
That would give you time to respond at a later date.

I just received an order recently, it took two weeks which is what I was expecting, so I have no complaints. I'm just glad you exist!
Have you considered using volunteers? I'm sure there are some people around that would be happy to answer emails for you. You could keep in contact with that one guy, and they would keep in contact with everyone. for me customer service is a really big deal. When people respond quickly it makes me feel really good about the company. When they respond days later I feel unimportant and dismissed. I'm guessing this is never your intention but it will happen anyway. I think a volunteer could make a huge difference for you. That personal touch makes all the difference, even if it is some guy just saying, "sorry, we are having delays right now, blah , blah, blah". That blah blah blah can really provide confidence for your customers.

mike's product is top notch and is totally worth the wait. I always place orders for 40 lbs or more just to have extra around, people should look to do the same. when you have spare it makes life easier to order some while still having a bit left, then having to order some and sit doing nothing waiting for it.

I think the main reason for this is its the first attempt. Its not so much that their being pricks as their just excited and that makes them impatient.

not really, just because people may be a n00b to a message board doesn't mean they dont have a clue about service.
I think the issue has been beat to death and then dissolved by tennstuds explination.

Sorry about the odor--It happens sometimes but not often, especially in the summer. If you let the bag sit unopened for 2-3 days at room temperature the smell will go away completely. If you already opened the bag go ahead and inoculate and the smell will go away as it colonizes. So if this happens to anyone else just follow these instructions and everything will be fine.

There was a shit load of rainy days about a month ago that REALLY fucked me up and put me behind in a big way. I work outdoors the majority of the time and do everything from collecting shit, processing shit, shipping shit, banking, bookwork, taxes all by myself. Not to mention trying to deal with my personal life. I don't have employees. I can't afford employees. I'm not getting rich doing this. I try to keep prices reasonable and my product consistent. I have ALWAYS given members of this community better deals than anyone else on the internet.

BTW I have alot of product going out all week and I'll be caught up and can spend more time in front of a computer.
Not getting rich off of this?!?!
40 bucks for 20 lbs of poo
Is that tax deductable?
Its hard to believe that your not getting at least a couple of hundred dollars a day from shroomery alone...
Its a dirty job and somebody has to do it, the community is very greatful for you...
but when I smell BS, or HS in this case, I open my mouth
hire a couple of mexicans, or whatever you got in TN, they will work hard for 50 bucks a whole day

I appreciate your opinion, but unless you do what I do you really don't have a clue . I wish I made a couple of hundred dollars a day from any of my markets. My business is a little over one year old so perhaps one day I can start to expand a little, but the market isn't quite there yet. I appreciate your kind words, but in the same breath you accuse me of lying and that's a little uncalled for.

Your right I do not have a clue
But you do insist that you are always so busy, So I am assuming your are SO BUSY cause you got so much WORK to do, cause you have a lot of people sending you $$$$ 
I have sent you a couple of hundred dollars myself in one day... (maybe you are a liar) few hundred a week when I was peaking... I wish I would have knew the deal you gave to shroomery customers, buy 2 get 1 free, at the rate I was buying you should have gave me that deal

Given the price of GAS, a truck you put that gas in, the depreciation on the truck. The time, tools, labor, space, equipment, containers, cardboard box's, shredder, scales & filter patch bags involved.
Plus the hassle of finding multiple sources of high quality weather aged h/poo & shredding it.
Then, bagging, hydrating (the pre-pasteurized stuff), weighing, packaging & mailing.
Plus the hassle of dealing with all the "where is my order, I sent the money 2 days ago" idiot questions.
Not to mention, sponsor advertising costs & website fee's.
Mike is not getting RICH, by NO MEANS.
He profits. But that is what BUSINESS IS ALL ABOUT.
Fortunately, I have my own local h/poo source. But, I certainly realized the hassles involved. Just gathering, drying, shredding & storing, a few P/U truck loads.
Keep on KEEPING ON....MIKE. You do the community a GREAT SERVICE. Which, some appreciate FAR MORE THAN OTHERS.

hey I never said I did not appreciate it
If you read up you could see I wrote "Its a dirty job and somebody has to do it, the community is very greatful for you..."
40 bucks for 20lbs of poo is a killing any way you split it if you ask me
I am a little PO that I did not get that deal after I bought so much crap off of him + I had a couple of contam issues where the bags of poo arrived allready open in the box which I mentioned and I thought he should have replaced it but did not...

I appreciate your business. If you feel I owe you something PM me and we can discuss the matter. As far as discounts and specials go I post them here and the Shroomery community get the best deals. I have lesser discounts for regular internet traffic. The only way to differentiate the customers is for the customers to follow the guidelines of the special. That's why I went with a standard % discount instead of making people mention the Shroomery when they ordered. If someone fails to notice a special until after the fact I don't think I need to refund money and such. BTW just because I get a $200 order one day doesn't mean I'll get that much the next day. Plus that $200 shrinks down dramatically after expenses. But I really don't want this to turn into an argument--Just voicing my opinion.

Plus the hassle of finding multiple sources of high quality weather aged h/poo & shredding it.
Then, bagging, hydrating (the pre-pasteurized stuff), weighing, packaging & mailing.
Plus the hassle of dealing with all the "where is my order, I sent the money 2 days ago" idiot questions.
Not to mention, sponsor advertising costs & website fee's.
Mike is not getting RICH, by NO MEANS.
He profits. But that is what BUSINESS IS ALL ABOUT.
Fortunately, I have my own local h/poo source. But, I certainly realized the hassles involved. Just gathering, drying, shredding & storing, a few P/U truck loads.
Keep on KEEPING ON....MIKE. You do the community a GREAT SERVICE. Which, some appreciate FAR MORE THAN OTHERS.
 My "stash".......giggle
hey I never said I did not appreciate it
If you read up you could see I wrote "Its a dirty job and somebody has to do it, the community is very greatful for you..."
40 bucks for 20lbs of poo is a killing any way you split it if you ask me
I am a little PO that I did not get that deal after I bought so much crap off of him + I had a couple of contam issues where the bags of poo arrived allready open in the box which I mentioned and I thought he should have replaced it but did not...
just voicing my opinion
I make about 80 bucks a day, and I am struggling to stay even and get anywhere, and your talking about someone getting rich from a few orders here and there? Its a job, you spend 40 hours a week doing it, a few hundred bucks on gas, electricity, bags, boxes, tools everyweek and your just surviving. And he can do it dealing with patient people. I know its tough to wait, I order from mike myself, and can get a little email crazy but you gotta know its gonna come and its a good deal for what you get. If you dont like it, there are probably horses around your area somewhere..personally I stick with TNstud..

I've noticed that I've been getting some bad press lately. I sincerely apologize about my email delays. Yes my server has sucked lately and half the time I can't even log in myself. Not to mention equipment failures, FedEx fuckups and the ever present cash-flow dilemmas. There was a shit load of rainy days about a month ago that REALLY fucked me up and put me behind in a big way. I work outdoors the majority of the time and do everything from collecting shit, processing shit, shipping shit, banking, bookwork, taxes all by myself. Not to mention trying to deal with my personal life. I don't have employees. I can't afford employees. I'm not getting rich doing this. I try to keep prices reasonable and my product consistent. I have ALWAYS given members of this community better deals than anyone else on the internet. In my opinion concentrating on getting orders out is more important than concentrating on "Where's my shit? Emails". I do answer emails. However it may take a few days, sometimes several, it just depends on how wore out I am at the end of the day. The bottom line is I'm doing the best I can and apologize about any inconvenience my correspondence skills may have caused. I'm loyal to this community and will continue to deliver the best product I can.
Thanks.. for your explanation and continuing great service.. I am closing this thread as the subject has been addressed.
