Purchased 4 M Balfouri on May 28th for great pricing and had great contact with John while waiting for a good shipping date. During this time I was able to add on a C. Lividium to the order with no issues as well as a P. Rufus after I inquired about other species he may have had. The pricing was great on those two as well and all tarantulas arrived safely and have been housed and taking meals ever since. 10/10 would purchase from John again!

My P. sazimai hooked out and I decided to try to find him a girlfriend. John was very helpful in setting up the breeding trade and offered a generous number of slings in exchange. Great communication and everything went smoothly.

I am wishing him and my boy luck!

Just received a group of P pulcher slings and an AF E murinus from John. He was very generous when I inquired about a bulk package, giving me an amazing price and more freebies than I would have ever expected. A+ on all fronts - communication clarity and speed, shipping speed, secure packing, healthy spiders, friendly attitude. Would definitely purchase from John again. Thanks!

Pros
  • The two slings I expected to get came in perfect health as did all the extra ones he put in the box. :)
Cons
  • None
We worked out a trade (some roaches from me and a couple slings from him) and everything was very clear and prompt. He always replied very quickly to any messages I sent. Ship dates were given in advance, the tarantulas came in good health, and he throw in some freebies which was awesome. Short of providing the next winning lotto numbers I don't think there's any thing he could do to offer a higer level of service.

Ordered two B. klaasi slings over the weekend, they were shipped out first thing the following Monday. Transit available to my location was three days and both slings (as well as some generously included freebies) arrived alive, well, and as described. Exceedingly pleased with the transaction, would happily work with again, and fully recommend!
