Not again!

I have had several mushroom growing kits before .. all successful, however this turned out to be a lot more hassle!
First ,it isn't clear that you have to get spawn separately.Second when I got it I then had to fiddle about with jugs of boiling water and hand mixing spawn into substrate. Also a lot of warnings re temp etc when the grey oysters I had ordered were in fact also fruiting in the wild.I live in a coolish house and never had problems with temp.All a bit OTT.for a 'hobby' kit

Hi Nerys,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback – we're sorry to hear this kit felt like more hassle than expected, especially after your previous success with other mushroom kits.

We also apologise if the voucher system used in our gift kits wasn’t as clear as it could have been. The reasoning behind sending spawn separately is explained in the 'Why we send your spawn separately' section of the grow guide booklet, and also on our website ('kit types explained' on the product listings). This approach helps ensure the spawn is as fresh and viable as possible when you're ready to start growing – especially important with kits that are intended as presents and might sit unused for a while. For those that are looking to get started right away, we do have kits with the bag of spawn included available for purchase on our website as well.

Regarding the growing process – although it might seem like there are a lot of specific instructions, they're designed to mimic the natural conditions mushrooms need to fruit. In the wild, species like grey oysters only produce mushrooms when their environment is just right. They're part of a much larger mycelial network that waits for perfect triggers like temperature, humidity, and airflow before producing mushrooms. Our kits try to recreate that environment indoors, which is why those factors are highlighted, even if your home already feels suitable.

The hot water and mixing steps are there to create a clean and nutrient-rich substrate, which helps reduce the risk of contamination and boost your chances of a strong yield. We understand this might feel like quite a bit for a hobby kit, especially compared to simpler 'ready-to-fruit' kits, and it’s certainly not for everyone. But it does appeal to growers who enjoy learning more about the process and getting hands-on with their cultivation.

Thanks again for your honest feedback – it helps us improve the experience for future growers.

Kind regards,
Alice

Great customer service

My kit arrived with a split in the bag so couldn’t be used. I emailed Urban Farm-It and received a new bag of substrate the very next day. That is brilliant customer service, thank you Urban Farm-It!

Sent wrong item

Sent wrong item, wouldn't refund or send item I had originally ordered as I had accidentally set up incorrect item before I realised. Not good customer service considering their mistake.

Excellent service. Plugs received within two days and the quality looks really good. What was nice, I forgot to use my discount code and emailed the company. Haidee responded that day and reimbursed the discount. So impressed.

Delayed customer service

Since writing this review on the 19th Dec I have been emailed by the company with an apology, issued a full refund and received today the item which hadn’t arrived since my order date of the 5th December. So although it has felt frustrating the company has since seeing my review done all that they can and more to rectify the situation, so I may take this review down in order to not cause unnecessary bad will.

I am confused by all the positive reviews for this company. On the 5th December. I ordered Blue-Grey Oyster Mushroom Growing kits x 2 ( incl postage cost £35.74 ) they still haven’t arrived, I emailed asking where my order was and received this response.

Thank you for shopping with us at Urban Farm-It! We are excited to inform you that your order has been shipped via our carrier Royal Mail and is on its way to you with the tracking number YQ366356816GB.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach back out. We are happy to help!

Kind regards,

However, when I put the tracking number onto Royal Mail site it says on the 5th December.

The sender has advised they have despatched your item to Royal Mail.
More information will be available once we have received your item and scanned it into our network.

I have sent further emails and left voicemail messages to no avail. ( they have no-one to speak to, just a pre recorded message) No-one in this supposedly trustworthy company is taking responsibility for this, I can only assume that I have been scammed.
I just received this response, so hopefully they’ll come good in the end:

Hi Kelda,

Thank you for your messages and for sharing your feedback. I would like to sincerely apologise for the experience you’ve had with Urban Farm-It so far. This is not reflective of the standard of service we aim to provide. Unfortunately, we’ve been managing the impact of two staff absences over the past fortnight, combined with the busy Christmas period, which has left our team stretched to capacity. Additionally, each follow-up email inadvertently pushed your message to the top of our inbox, which delayed our response.

As we are unable to get replacement items to arrive in time for tomorrow, I have issued you with a full refund for your order, please allow up to 5 business days for this to process.

Apologies again for the experience you have had, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and if there is anything else I can do for you please do not hesitate to get back in touch or email me personally.

Kind regards,
Alice

Fantastic customer service

I recently ordered a lions mane mushroom growing kit as a birthday gift for my daughter. I was given an arrival date but unfortunately it didn’t arrive. I emailed and explained and got a reply back about an hour later.
They couldn’t have been more helpful. After looking into why they immediately put it right by send a kit with DPD next day delivery. It arrived and still in time for me. The speed of answering apologising about the mix up and making sure I had them was brilliant.
I really couldn’t praise them enough and will certainly use them again as I am sure my daughter will. In my mind they definitely deserve 5⭐️

Off to a rough start!.

Had a bit of a rough start with the fruiting of my Lions Maine, purely because of my own mistakes.
However the team at Urban-farm It, are going to send me a replacement which I look forward to.
Very kind of them to give me a second chance.
Hopefully this time I will be able to pull it off.
Many Thanks .

I ordered 5kg wholesale spawn grain blocks and made outdoor beds with it. Now we have more gourmet mushrooms than we know what to do with. And absolutely delicious. Great company, and fast reliable service. Excellent content also for people new to growing mushrooms.
