You can add http://www.sporestore.com to that list as well.
I guess, logically, any site you see a University Scientific related link or MycoGarden ad is bogus.
I sent an order at sporestore and the "check order status" has not changed nor have I received any feedback from them after leaving a comment (or two) from there sites "contact" link.
There should be an easy to find list of bogus vendors here just a suggestion.

We really can't do that for legal reasons....
one of the "so called" bogus non Shroomery Vendors might sue us.
but please notice that this thread is still open for discussing members problems with non shroomery Vendors.
and you can always do a search in this forum to get past experiences on other non Shroomery Vendors...there should be a few.

Yeah I was kinda kidding on that
I learned my lesson.. I'm sending ralphster my order tomorrow. The box is IL and I'm in.. um, a bordering state. So what like 2-3 days for the order to get there, one day for processing, then another 2-3 to get back to me? I'm sure he'll send a confirmation E-mail when he gets it, right? I wish I would have discovered him before my haste lead me down the wrong path. It was kinda weird tho I actually came across a Ralphsters44 Free Spore Ring website, but when I sent an E-mail it was returned so I guess it was one he abandoned or an ISP he gave up on or something.
Hopefully when I get some money I can order his RoadKills Special
Can't wait to start.. I need a hobby while I don't have a license.

I must say I was fucked over by the university scientific/spore store scam. I wish I would have been smart enough to just get on the shroomery first and look up info on making my own grow kit instead of looking for an easy way. Now I say ralphsters all the way. Great service and great selection.

no problem bro!~
I didn't scold you too bad!~
I figgured that you didn't know that you can't post emails and private messages.
and...
lmfao @ those e-mails I posted WERE doctored!~
see that is exactly why we don't allow them!~
You can talk in a general way on how a conversation went though...
for example...
The Keeper from the Spore Trading Post... emailed me and told me to fuck off and that he wasn't going to refund my money to me. and he has terrible people skills(he swore at me) and shouldn't run a business!~
See how to do it?
lolzz
take care!~

Which Visa charges the merchant an extra $25 to $50 each time they do a charge back, ensuring the sloppy merchant gets spanked. RR
I've also read that if a Visa merchant has > 5% chargebacks then Visa will terminate their account. What University Scientific probably does is deliver the cheap items like grain jars (and subcontract those out to another vendor) while it scams on much larger items, like the humidity and temp gauges I ordered at almost $300.
