Just placed my 5th order from Mid West. I always receive my orders promptly and the quality and prices are excellent. Example: I had 2 unused spawn bags sitting around for 9 months (room temp). They suggest much less time. The bags still performed great, no mildew or mold-no problem!
Midwest Grow kits sent everything quickly and they had everything I paid for. They have simple steps to walk you through the process and it made it fairly easy. Their online store is excellent for additional products that come quickly and discretely. Yes, some pros on internet forums will say you don't need these kits, but they help starters tremendously. Tubs are not hard to make, but cutting them can be a pain without proper tools and substrate isn't easy for us city folk. Midwest gets it all done for you so you can get simply to growing your edible or medicinal mushrooms.
Great company, quick shipping, all questions answered.
This is a super solid company. I have placed several orders with them over the last couple of months, and customer service has been excellent. Put it this way, I usually don't write reviews, but I've been so happy with MGK that I feel like I needed to.
My buying experience has been excellent with Midwest. They have been quick to ship, excellent with timely advice when I had questions, and one time when jars had contamination they immediately replaced. In the mush hobby, contaminants are just part of what happens and everyone should expect that once in a while. But it's how quickly Midwest responded and cured the problem that proved to me they are a great company. For the record - I don't know them and am a bona fide customer. They get 5 stars from me.
My experience with Midwest is great. They sent everything I have ordered with great speed and now I have a successful crop. I bought the Ultimate grow kit and everything worked as stated. I should mention that the aquarium heater they sent me was defective so I had to purchase a different one on Amazon. I emailed them and told them about this and they sent me a $15 coupon to use on my next purchase since I had already bought a new heater. I would highly recommend Midwest if you are looking to buy a kit. I know I am definitely going through them for my next order.
I have seen best ever service providers of Mushroom kits. I have ordered for kits they give me quick response. Along with growing experts advisory. Thank you so much.
These guys are hands down the best company for first timers and inexperienced growers Midwest has an amazing costumer service they’ll answer all your questions and walk you through your first grow and if anything is wrong on their end they’ll gladly right their wrongs compared to other companies newer ones especially out there right now that are charging any where from two hundred to three hundred for a fully automated mono tub these guy give you what you pay for every time they are not out to make a bunch of money an leave a bad taste in peoples mouth like gorillakits.com are known for....do your research and you’ll see these cats have been doing this a really long time and there’s a very solid reason why and that’s because they take care of their customers through and through love you guys Midwest 4 life!!!!!
I recently wrote a 1-star review about Midwest Grow Kits. As soon as the negative review was posted, Midwest made it right. That review was the first they knew about my dissatisfaction. They quickly got me what I needed, rectified the entire situation and I regret being overly hasty in my review. They are tops in my book. Thank you to Jeff and company for making sure I was one happy customer. Terrill
Had the pleasure of ordering from Midwest a handful of times. Always have fast shipping, great products and most important, impeccable customer service. Cannot say anything negative about these folks, am blown away after every order. If you're looking for a jump start into the wild world of mushrooms then you've come to the right place.
Had problems with 5 grain bag's in January, packages were arriving really late it was really cold out I think it had something to do with destroying the bags older they were contaminated but they sent me fresh new ones for free so they have great customer service and if you have a problem they will take care of you, new bags arrived a few days ago inoculated one it's already showing signs of colonation
Grow kit came in fast. I do wish the heat pad had a digital thermostat and it'd be nice if the mega kit came with another timer. Can't wait to get to work
Speedy shipping, great quality of equipment, and clear directions...Period. Perfect for a beginner mycology enthusiast such as myself.
