I ordered on Wednesday, I guess he was caught up and had to ship it the next day (which he told me about and I had no issues with, and he also 100% over compensated for it, thank you Brandon!) And he also said the culture would ship in a separate parcel. He shipped that out on Saturday, which again, is fine by me. He's a very, very honest, and great to work with vendor. He has a loott of knowledge towards this kind of industry it seems. As well as others. This, this is the kind of vendor we need. He's not here to rip us off, he barely seems like he's here for the money! He really seems like he's trying to patch this place back together, for the better of research. Im sure we all know how much work and sweat this team puts into their operation, and im sure I speak as a collective when I say this, but we all thank you WesternResearchSupplies. For everything that you guys do to keep this place as clean as possible, seriously. I know we all say " so & so vendor is an example to all vendors" But literally, this team has a lot of love for this community, as im sure we do for them. For the research itself, the Etzilam-1 preformed better than expected in the field, truth be told. As for the cultures, I havent really got the time to see the transformation just yet, which im sure will yield quite a nice result. Can see spores just floating around. Thank you so much WRS!!
