Prompt communication and waited to ship until the weather was good.
Cons
Withheld two stars on packaging. There weren't very thick paper towels used to cushion the tarantula and she ended up outside of the paper towels. I understand sometimes tarantulas can get on the outside no matter how tightly you wrap them, but in this case I think the lack of good paper towel wrapping contributed to this.
Overall great transaction. The tarantula is beautiful and as described. She ate the day after shipping and is very healthy. Would purchase from this seller again.
Practically unbeatable prices, decent shipping rates, great packaging.
Cons
Some people may not like that he packs the tarantulas in little straws, but I don't mind myself.
I've ordered from Inland Sea twice now. Once in November and once a couple days ago. I ordered 5 tarantulas the first time, and 7 the second time. All spiders arrived in good condition, no issues with shipping. Most of the species I've bought from him are ones that I was shopping around for to find decent pricing for some time. Often his prices were significantly lower than other dealers I looked at.
Really friendly and quick! Slings came using usps 2-day and were very healthy
Cons
NONE!
Ordered two slings for the first time on this site. So happy i came across someone very reputable.
A+ to this seller!
Anyone who is sceptical like me should use this guy!!!!
Thanks again!
Quick and informative communication, flexible shipping based on my schedule, great packaging
I ordered an LP sling from Michael. He was prompt in his communications and made a clear effort to make the experience positive for both me and the sling. After I mentioned that I hadn't received an invoice (which was almost certainly a product of my terrible internet connection), he immediately resent. Michael also communicated with me about delaying shipping to fit in with my schedule and also contacted me about having the sling held for pickup, as temps were high in my area. The sling was well packaged and arrived healthy.
I would recommend Michael with no reservations and will definitely buy from him again! Thanks, Michael!
Very good about responding to questions, easy to work with!
Cons
None I can think of
Purchased two slings! Everything went smoothly and they were prompt in answering questions. Fair prices, the slings arrived alive and well and warm which was good especially since the weather has been cold in most places.
I can't be happier with the T's I got, they are all still happy and eating well! The ones that unfortunately didn't make the trip were refunded immediately after picture was sent. Will definitely buy from him again!
Good variety, excellent communication, easy negotiation/transaction.
Cons
None
My first sling purchase in years! My family and I went in on over 30 slings together. Communication was very quick, emails and questions were answered soon after they were sent. I did 3 day shipping, despite colder temps they box was warm inside when they arrived! Extra attention to detail was given to his packing and shipping. Nice little labels were provided that matched color coded straws. Super easy to tell which sling were which. Most of the slings settled in and ate immediately. Some of the slings were bigger than expected. Prices were awesome, I am very happy with my purchase and would order from him again.
Whether I’m selling or buying, I will definitely come back to Inland Sea. Had quite a bit of H. villosella slings I was looking to part with and Michael made it quick and easy. Thanks again!
Micheal was a pleasure to deal with. He paid quickly with PayPal and even credited money when I messed up on the shipping quote. Smooth transaction and a huge benefit to the hobby. Thank you for all you do.
Excellent customer service, healthy spiders, great prices

I ordered 6 slings from Michael on September 1st 2020. He responded to all my emails very quickly and thoroughly, and helped me to select a date with optimal weather for shipping -- something that a bigger business we originally were looking at ordering from refused to do. The slings were packed well with a cool pack, since temps are near 90, and were well-protect. They all emerged healthy and vigorous.
I was really pleased with the selection and the prices and wanted even more species than what I got. I will definitely be a return customer.
Attached are a couple of photos of the Hapalopus sp & B. smithi I received.
I purchased 9 slings and was given about a 15 % discount. Shipping was delayed 4 days and thanks to the wonderful packaging they were able to survive not only the heat but the 6 trips between my city and the capital. Seller included a free cool pack for no extra charge. Messaged back extremely quickly. All around amazing experience, would absolutely buy again!
Another great buying experience. Spiders were tiny tiny slings. Very active and healthy. This guy has been great and I will continue to do business with him. Do yourself a favor and pick one of these spiders up, you won’t find better prices or healthier T’s.
Packaged well, communicated with me from purchase to arrival, GREAT prices, knowledgeable.
Cons
None*
I started communicating with Michael a couple days before I made my purchase, he was quick to respond and answer all of my questions. He shipped fast and packaged the T VERY WELL, *there was a "hiccup" with shipping that no one could have foreseen, so the package was delayed from Thursday to the following Tuesday. I'm not sure my T would have survived if it wasn't for the excellent packing job. I would definitely recommend. Thanks again, Michael!
fast replies and easy of ordering, good prices on tons of species
Cons
none
I have ordered 5 ts from Inland Sea and it was very easy and quick to order with his fast replies and items arrived as described accurately. i think his prices are good and i ordered over the weekend and i got mine on tuesday fedex overnight service
I purchased three slings; all arrived wonderfully packaged and safe. He was very kind to hold my shipments until the weather cooperated and even reached out before I did with an available time! Great experience; I would purchase again.
