Literally my top, go-to place,to get spores. All of them were perfectly viable. Been buying from this vendor for years now and it seems like people only hate sporeworks because they have zero knowledge about mycology. Thank you sporeworks!!

Bad product not viable at all. The customer service girl that sounds like an annoying squeaky dog toy is rude AF! No worries. Plenty of OTHER places to spend my money. I will definitely share my experience with everyone I know!

The order process was nice and whomever the girl is that does customer service seemed pleasant. I ordered from them a month ago . What i ordered was a spore syringe and what i received was a liquid culture syringe which ofcourse was contaminated. When i called to inquire if they actually had a spore syringe for the species in question i found the the seemingly nice girl over the phone didn't know the difference. I cant recommend this vendor because of this.

Great Customer Service, Quick Delivery. I would not say I am a regular but I have used this site in 2013, 2018, and later this year. It is nice to see them still operating, even through the pandemic as I would not go to any other competitor.

I have to say that I am surprised at any bad reviews for sporeworks.com. I have ordered from them before and the only time I have ever had a problem was if I waited too long to use a syringe. People say alot of things about how long they "think" a syringe "might" last but I've found that --no matter where you get a syringe-- you need to try to use it in the 1st month. Maybe 2nd. But why push your luck? I just recently ordered a 4 pack and my efforts were quite fruitful. In fact I will be satisfied for a long time with all this. If they have had some quality control issues I hope they work it out. I, for one, will keep supporting sporeworks as a great resource. But I understand things can happen in this unforgiving hobby. You just have to accept it and try again.

Don't use!!!!! The company sold an unusable product that wasn't viable. Called to see how this can be resolved and they said they're not responsible and nothing can be done. Bad company, bad product, not viable, and customer service is BS!

I ordered Penis Evny spores syringes. I waited alittle over 2 weeks to even get them, then waiting another 2-3 weeks to find out they were no good to begin with. I got a VERY small clump of spores in each syringe figured it’d be ok.. the spores were no good. Waste of time and money. I’d suggest using another source. When I tried to reach out to customer service they were rude. She didn’t even look up my order she just said she couldn’t help me and ended our call.

Up until I had to call in and pay, the experience was great. Unfortunately, the lady on the phone that answered when I called was so rude! I could not believe it. I have many friends that use this site and raves about the quality (and I will give it a shot when they come in)... But customer service was an extremely unpleasant experience. Enough for me to look at other companies in the future. Hope the product works well. If so, I’ll be happy to update this review.
