Do not use Midwest mushroom supplies

Just a heads up on Midwest Mushroom supplies takes your paypal then says will send tracking # two weeks later no jars no NADA !

Got proof? But thanks for the heads up!

How can you prove you didn't receive something? Lol

That sucks!
I was going to give you shit for expecting mushroom companies to send you spores while living in a state that they are illegal in, but it looks like they don't even sell spores. You should try and get your money back since you have nothing to hide by ordering a few jars.

But really you should look into making your own from canning jars. Build your own setups don't just order a kit. This isn't a hobby to be lazy and cut corners with and everything you need is easily obtained given you have done the proper research.

I got my kit very quickly..

Hey. He's the weasel. And I believe that he is right in this matter. Believe me. I got the kit. Yeah it works. But I would've saved time and money going the DIY route. Just prepping your own jars and inoculating them, all while practicing your own sterilization methods is well worth it.

Kits are either a way to give you something innovative and proprietary or a way to get a collection of equipment and supplies you would have to assemble for yourself. Most mushroom kits are the latter. In the age of the Internet, you don't have to go anywhere in order to assemble equipment and supplies and in many cases you have only to visit Ebay for an hour or so and wait by your mailbox or front door. Anyone can grow half of all of the domesticated mushrooms out there with supplies from their bathroom, kitchen and garage - there is nothing special about a kit.

I've used them and they've been good. Maybe this was an isolated incident? Thanks for the heads up anyway.

Yeah. It seems like you may be right bwb. 1 out of 10 from the rate that people speak about this particular grow kit supplier.

Well there are always people who want me to prove that I did not get my jars but paypal has no problem with it in fact I may just post his email to me he's a real peice of work and not honest at all !! It's a wash all I want is my cash back I sent him on 4-12-12 as to not receiving it well my freinds NO FEDEX TRACKING # HAS BEEN SENT !! Tryed asking nice and got the okey doke will ship on monday well it's friday again and NOPE oh hey did I say it's friday again yep two more weeks oh well.

As far as paypal are concerned, if he can't prove you got your goods they will refund your money and take it from him.
With paypal the buyer always wins and the seller is screwed.

First immediately after ordering you demanded a phone number and I replied you can email me anytime you like with questions.
Then I sent you a message telling you it would be a few days before I could send a tracking number (we ship in order of how we receive them and your order had just came in)
After I thought we settled it , I tried to ship your order you placed and found out there was a hold on it through paypal. I told you your order has been ready to ship.
You then apologized for being impatient and said you had taken the hold off.




As you can see its still being held. It's now May 5th and we still have not heard from you and also the hold is still in effect .We have been continuously processing other customers orders throughout this whole period with no problems, complaints, or delays.I will be glad to work with you in anyway I can to sort this out, as I have told you before. This is an issue between you and paypal now which you created.
This has nothing to do with the performance of our company or any of our staff. Just to show there's no hard feelings if you still want your order and after you take this hold off we'll see about giving you some free samples of our new products were going to carry soon. If not you can always get a refund.

Thank you for finally removing the hold on your payment this morning Brad. Now hopefully you could admit your mistake and stop bashing our company with false statements.
this is a hobby that requires patience to master. Demanding your order immediately after ordering and leaving rude messages and threats with my staff was not necessary.
especially when the only reason you haven't received your order is because you put a hold on it.

Hey. Where's my free samples?

Wow! Now he's (Fishbud) threatening to say that the jars were broken and others came with lids off! It's not even possible we vacuum seal our jars in plastic and then use protective air packets to fill the rest of the box .That's the main reason we have so many repeat customers, cause they like the way we handle our products. Telling my staff your going to make up stories about our company until we give you more products is not going to get you anything. Stop sending us constant angry messages and threats. Case closed.

This company is actually one of the few good ones, I decided to try there grow kit and am very happy with the results, other companies are not nearly as professional as midwest is.. I know this is an old post but still.

I got my jars they were also filled with maggots that ruined every thing and costed me a lot of money. when I emailed them they responded with send picks so I did and haven't gotten a response back after the countless emails I have sent

I recently purchased an 18 jar Mega kit from Midwest. I did some research and I know that there was another company called midwestmushroomsupply.com. They recently went out of business. The kit I bought is from a different "Midwest" company. I actually bought jars from midwestmushroomsupply.com last year and my project didn't work out. So I think people are talking about 2 separate companies and not realizing it.
