Purchased 7 slings on a monday, shipped the next day, and arrived by thursday!

All of them were in good condition and alive upon arrival. Arrived in an insulated temperature controlled box. Each vial was securely cushioned inside the package using newspapers and damp paper towels to wrap the spiders. Tracking # was also provided.

Prices were excellent, and great deals on purchasing multiples. Even included a freebie!

Seller was able to respond fast through text, and very polite :)

I would definitely purchase from him again in the future. He communicated with me throughout the whole process, and even afterwards. He answered any, and all the questions I asked. My Purple pinktoe was perfectly wrapped and in great condition. I’m definitely pleased with my purchase.

Awesome seller this was my first time buying online and it couldn't have gone better. Shay was very helpful and patient with my questions, the shipping job was awesome no moving around in there. The slings were shipped with cold packs and great insulation and arrived healthy and moving around in the straws. I would not hesitate to buy from again thank you again Shay for the positive experience!

Positive review for Shay. Absolutely Great communication. He's on the board daily to get back to your questions and I can tell you how important that is. Awesome attitude. Been looking for P. Sazimai adult female for a while now. Shay happened to have one in his list. I message him and we both agreed on fair trade. He shipped the day he would ship the spider. The Ts arrived and the packaging was top notch as well. I can tell that he really care about the ts wellbeing when they’re in transit, The way he packed it was absolutely perfect. Great experience all around. More than happy with my trade. Nice and easy guy to deal with. Highly recommended. Wouldn’t hesitate to do more business in the near future. Know you’re in good hand when dealing with Shay. Thank you :)

  • Great communication, packaged well, great doing business!

I had to get the shipping done on a certain day, so I paid ahead of time and kept in communication throughout the process. Communication was great and everything turned out great for getting my daughter her first T delivered on her birthday.
Look forward to future business!

Spoke to Gunnie last Thursday about shipping me some slings. Temps here were getting cold overnight so he agreed to ship a week later. Shipment was packed incredibly well with heat pack "still warm when it arrived yesterday". 3 C. Versi's and 2 P Irminia. Shay was kind enough to throw in a free N. Incei. as well after i refused an Old World freebie as I still havent made that plunge lol. I would not hesitate to do business with Shay again "and will be doing so" he has great prices, excellent communication, and his packing is top notch. This was my first online purchase and he made it an incredibly easy/hassle free experience. Thanks so much Shay !!!!!!

I purchased one p.metellica and one versicolor, he was kind enough to give me 3 freebies in top of that, but the important part was the price of each T, the price were unbeatable to any dealer I've seen, communication was great and perfect and still till this day, as I would ask him questions about the T's. He sent the T's Monday, unfortunately the postal office delayed the packages from 1-day shipping to 3-days with holidays, on top of that there was a delay on the package as well! This was in late November so temps here are in the low colds, despite everything the slings came and all 5 slings were perfectly healthy! The packaging was cased with styrofoam and a heat pack! Thanks to the dealers care and caution all the T's are alive and well despite being delayed for 4 days! Overall i would always recommend buying from this dealer and I wouldn't hesitate to make a purchase again! Thanks a lot.

  • Good price. Great packing.
The spiders arrived in good shape. The package was well done as it needed to be. I can't get anything delivered next day. After two days in transit they were great.

Ordered two versicolor slings, and the communication was fantastic! I wasn't able to originally send a message due to a full inbox, so he contacted me instead. Was very helpful when I had requested the package to be held at the local post office, and the shipping was fast! Now I have two beautiful versi slings and a freebie incei to add to the collection :)

Pros
  • Routine breeder of taste, Knows how to shake out a stuck box, Best communication
Cons
  • None
After an unpromising + extended search for MMs, was very fortunate running into Shay here. Turned out to serve more as an intro for us. This was likely my first purchase in over a year, yet plenty still needed from Shay (who was patient throughout our trade and its ongoing modifications.) I'm often indecisive. On the other hand, can't say there's any point they might have shown up any less than perfect (+a few extra). Thanks again!!

Pros
  • Great price, great packing, healthy tarantulas, willing to negotiate, easy to talk to, very thoughtful, and kind.
Cons
  • None, none, none.
Purchased:
1” Caribena versicolor x 1
3/4” Dolichothele diamantinensis x 1

Freebie:
3/4” Neoholothele Incei x2

I’ve talked to @GunniesSpiders via text message (provided on arachnoboards/classifieds). He was very kind enough to go through with me all the optional lists of tarantulas he has, and offered me great choices, and prices for tarantulas I wanted.

He has constantly talked to me via text message from the beginning to the end, to provide me info about the tarantulas I was about to get, and as well as shipped package status info.

Great buying experience over all!

I bought some C. versicolor and B. dubia from Shay. Everything looks healthy and of course the versis are beautiful. They got here safely and on time. Would definitely purchase from this seller again!

Pros
  • Communication, cool freebie, left a card for me to remember him by, polite and prompt
Cons
  • He needs more stock so I can buy more often!
Shay communicated beautifully. He made the transaction completely painless and he even threw a freebie in with my order. He shipped promptly and the package arrived the next day. Everything was packed superbly and the spiders arrived in good health. He even was willing to give advice on breeding the species that I purchased when I asked! He obviously cares for his animals and the hobby as a whole. I hope to do business with him in the future!!! 5+ ⭐

  • Dedicated hobbyist and very knowledgeable Quality packaging Healthy specimens
Cons
  • Noneeee!
It's my first buying Ts from this forum and all I can say is that Shay is a top notch seller! Got a very nice package from him for a great (affordable) price and he even throw in some freebies :) He also spend some time responding to my queries which is very helpful for newbies like me...

I started from 2 Ts I bought from a reptile show and now I have 7 more, for a total of 9 now! Will definitely be a repeat customer to expand my T species collection and when I have more enclosures made lol

Pros
  • Sold me my first T! Was very friendly, answered my questions, and quick to respond. Packaging was tight and secure and well cushioned to insure a safe trip for the little male Green Bottle Blue.
Cons
  • I have no complaints!
When I first laid eyes on the juvenile GBB, I had a sense of amazement and awe. This tiny little guy was nothing like I pictured and didn't look like the pictures I saw, but that's because I had no idea the juveniles were so different from adults. Gunnies Spiders had very open and friendly communication and made my first purchase experience very pleasant. Would recommend to anyone wanting to buy a T and should I decide to delve further into the hobby, I will definitely buy from them again!
