Ordering Spore Syringes to my address..

To whom ever is willing to give advice,
Seeing as these half pint jars are virtually impossible to find in my neighborhood's local stores.. (Half pint, Glass, tapered, with a 2 piece lid is a bit specific.. no?), I'm thinking of ordering off of ebay.. but they also come pre-sterilized with some other things in them, "Myco Grow" ('Bee Pollen', and some other shit). Not that it matters to me spending amounts less than 30 bucks on items that are otherwise impossible for me to find.. even though it does definitely seem like a good profit on their part.
And I think it may just take away the first-timers hassle with the PF-Tek method, they have 100% feedback and people seem to be usually satisfied.. Not to mention I'll have jars for later if it works out... And don't forget I'm in a tight position as far as getting one of them pressure cookers go.
But is ordering this specific item risky?
Is ordering spore syringes to my household from a place like Ralphsers actually a risk?
I do not have any alternate area's to do my research, and I wouldn't be able to go through the work of getting back and forth from the post office checking a PO box..
And would people actually go out of there way to check me out for making these two purchases go to my house?
I know a lot of you people are definitely strict about your security and safety, so if it's not totally necessary to order to a different address, please let me know. I know of a few people who must of just ordered right to their house and done the research without any issues, but is it really one?
I'm getting mixed idea's from what I read online.

Do not use ebay. You can use ebay to find the place and then order from them directly. Ebay is really public.
People don't typically experience heat from ordering spores but common sense dictates that you don't send them to yourself.

Are you in US?
Just find an Ace Hardware or Do It Right. You can order Wide Mouth Tapered Pints through them. Check the web for canning jars at their respective sites to get the order number. If you have the number your time won’t be wasted by someone at the service desk that can’t find the item on computer or paper catalog.

You don't have a Walmart near by? What kind of stores are you looking in? I know a lot of stores carry caning jars but not the right ones for PF tek. Try a large grocery or hardware store. If you can't find jars you may want to consider ordering some pre sterilized bags from one of the shroomery sponsors. Check this out http://www.mushbox.com/mushroom-bag.html The nice thing about the bags is you can fruit directly in the bag, eliminating the need for a fruiting chamber.

I don't think so. I've been ordering from places that advertise here for years with no problems. I've never ordered from Ralphsetrs but they seem reputable and I haven't heard any complaints.

I've always had shit sent directly to my place with no problems. Your not ordering anything illegal unless you live in a state where spores are illegal. Don't go around telling people your growing mushrooms and you should be fine.

> you may want to consider ordering some pre sterilized bags
Bags are trouble. They tend to fail a LOT more than jars. Definitely not recommended for beginners.
> The nice thing about the bags is you can fruit directly in the bag, eliminating the need for a fruiting chamber.
??? That's not going to work. You can wait for jars to pin in-vitro if you don't mind shit yields and wasting most of what you'd get. You aren't going to have much luck trying to fruit a whole bag in the tiny airspace at the top.

True - you would be better off spawning to some straw or horse poo or something like that. If you want to fruit invitro then try these bags: http://mushbox.com/compost-bags.html
