What is staggered shipping?

Staggered shipping is offered as an option on all Shroom Supply mushroom grow kits. It simply means that your compost will be sent at a future date of your choice, while the rest of the items in your grow kit are sent to you at the time you place your order. This shipping option is recommended because it ensures that your compost will arrive at your doorstep fresh. Otherwise, your compost will have to sit around during the time it takes for your grain to fully colonize (approximately 30 days), increasing the chance of contamination.

Why would I want staggered shipping?

Shroom Supply offers staggered shipping because compost mixtures will have higher success rates if they arrive at your doorstep fresh. All compost and casing is "made to order" which means that we prepare the products AFTER you order them. We don't keep bags upon bags of compost stocked on our shelves because we want to make sure that our customers receive the freshest product of the best possible quality.

How does staggered shipping work?

If you choose to have your shipment staggered you will be sent all items in your grow kit except for the compost at the time of your order. That means you will be sent sterilized grain spawn, filter patch bags, bag clamps, vinyl tubing for bag clamps, sterile alcohol swabs, and powder-free vinyl exam gloves. The compost portion of your order will be shipped at a future date of your choice.

In addition to those items, you will also be sent a coupon code and a special URL that allows you to redeem the code. When you are ready to have the compost portion of your kit shipped, you simply redeem the code. Once you redeem your code, the compost portion of your grow kit will be processed for shipping.

Please remember that compost and casing orders can take up to two days to be shipped out, so please time your order accordingly.

How should I store my compost if I do not choose staggered shipping?

Shroom Supply mushroom compost and casing can be stored at room temperature for 14 days without any issues. If you do not plan on using you compost within that timeframe, we recommend storing the compost in the freezer until it is ready to be used. Make sure to dethaw your compost completely and to room temperature before using.
