Frequently asked questions:
How quickly will my order be processed and packed?
Most orders are fulfilled the same day unless otherwise noted on the product page (including pre-order items and select cultures). You will receive an email confirmation with tracking information when your order has been packed.
Please note that the tracking number included in your confirmation email will update once the carrier picks up your package. This may take a couple of days, so we appreciate your patience as your order is processed.
Does North Spore ship on weekends?
Yes, our team packs items 7 days a week!
However, please note that our carriers only pick up packages on the weekdays. This means that while we prepare your items on the weekend, they will be shipped out on the next scheduled pickup day.
Which shipping carriers does North Spore use?
We ship our products through USPS and FedEx. You can see shipping prices and select your preferred carrier at checkout.
How frequently do carriers pick up orders from North Spore?
Carriers pick up packages every day, Monday through Friday. USPS picks up around noon and FedEx picks up around 3 pm.
How can I ensure my spawn won't get stuck in the mail over the weekend?
Our best recommendation is to choose a shipping method that delivers your package before the weekend. If you want to be sure, leave a note on your order that says "please only ship on a Monday."
What does North Spore use for insulated shipping?
Each box liner features plant-based Climacell insulation which is 100% curbside recyclable. (This means it can go right your recycling bin, alongside the cardboard box it came in.)
Does North Spore have a retail storefront, or just local pickup?
At this time, we do not have a retail store at our production facility. We do offer local pickup for orders placed online. (Note that local pickup is NOT same day.)
How does the BoomRoom kit ship?
Your BoomRoom complete kit will arrive in 2 separate shipments -- tent and rack in one box, and fan, humifier, ducting, filters, and spore floor in another box. If you ordered any other items (like fruiting blocks), they will arrive separately from your BoomRoom kit shipments.
What does it mean if an item is on pre-order?
If a product is on pre-order, it is available to purchased. However, there will be a longer lead time before it ships. Estimated shipping times for pre-order items are noted on the product pages, below the add to cart button.
