Quick answers about us, orders, delivery and our Brighton-made spores.

To keep things simple and uncomplicated (the way I like it), bank transfer is preferred. As we grow, we may add other payment methods but for now, bank transfer is the preferred method. When you submit your order, you’ll receive a follow up email with instructions. If you have any questions, just let me know (steven@brightonspores.com).

Spores provide a great opportunity for learning, and the internet provides a lot of information that’s just a quick search away. We are also working on a blog (Corner Squawk) that will hopefully be up soon where you can read and learn more about syringes, swabs, prints and who knows what else!
