Pros
  • Great selection and prices for what I was wanting.
Cons
  • None
Tom was quick to respond to my messages and made the transaction very fast and easy. When I opened the box, I noticed the great packing setup, and the A. chalcodes and H. arizonensis seemed to be pretty happy with it also. They crawled into their enclosures already looking well-fed and healthy. I also got a couple extra surprise freebies. I would definitely order from him again. Thanks again!

  • Communication was outstanding.
After I posted in was looking for a Nhandu tripepii he contacted me almost immediately that he had one for sale. I would 100% purchase another T from gin without hesitation.

Terrific Seller! I ended up purchasing 3 female Chalcodes and a pair of scorpions from AZ Tom. He was patient answering my questions and showed tremendous amount of care in the packaging. I was on business travel and he was able to hold my order until I returned.

I will absolutely purchase from AZ Tom again!

First time ordering and everything went great! Extra care was taken in the packaging to assure the health of the tarantula in case of delays with the delivery and she arrived in great condition. Well worth the 10 minutes it took to unbox everything!!

Always trust Tom!

I purchased a pair of moderatum from Tom. He responded quickly, and offered me a pair with a good price.
He explained possible situations of shipping issues (delay by Postal Office with current shipping demands).
However, he still offered LAG, even with the delay! Totally worry free!!!
I uploaded the unboxing video to show how secure his packing is.

Again, always trust Tom!

I will purchase from him again.

Tom has a pretty good selection of T's for sale and is very quick to message you back about your inquiry. She was delivered to me in just a couple of days in excellent shape! I highly recommend purchasing from Tom, I know i will again!

  • Lots of great communication and tailored collecting to my interests.
Cons

Steady, reliable communication. Willing to hold shipping while he visited other collecting spots to expand my order, rather than just clearing the transaction to get his cash as fast as possible. Healthy animals shipped in good packaging. Thanks very much!

Decided to finally pick myself up an A. chalcodes and after looking around I decided to pick one up from Tom since he also had some scorpions as well. Price was really good and Packaging was excellent. Tom also threw in freebie scorps as well...quite a few actually. Would definitely purchase from him again in the future. Thanks.

First of all, I've never seen packaging as detailed as Tom's. He packaged his Ts the best I've ever seen. I was a little taken back by it at 1st because it's literally the MOST well packaged I've ever gotten my Ts (and I've gotten Ts from quite a few awesome ppl).
All 3 or my Aphonopelma iodii (plural of iodius?), albo Nicaraguan, and my freebie scorpling were super cute and very healthy!

10/10, would recommend ^-^

Pros
  • Exactly what I wanted/ordered. Super price. Shipped quickly, packaged well. Arrived alive.
Cons
  • None.
Tom rocks. He was patient with his explanation of sizes/ages of the tarantula species I was interested in. When I finally made my choice, he sent her out quickly and very well packaged. She’s even more beautiful than I imagined, and worth every penny. I would absolutely buy from Tom again.

I purchased a C. vonwirthi from Tom, and I would buy from him in a heartbeat if he ever has something else I’m interested in. He responded to my messages in a timely manner, and he did a great job packing the T. The T arrived safe and sound, and is starting to settle in. Very pleased with my purchase.... Thanks again!
