I am sorry to hear that. My recent experiences with them have been o.k., but they have never delivered it when it was stamped "delivered". They always say they deliver it at 8:30am at the old place, and I would get it at 4pm if I was lucky. But at least I got mine. I don't have any advice, but good luck!

Wow! I hope they find that package in time.
Hopefully he won't have the luck I had. UPS never found mine. Been over a month now. Constantly call and threaten to protest etc. Just bother them. They have it somewhere. Ken(thebugguy) had to call them to put a tracer on it. The total package cost(contents etc) was refunded though. Heres the thread. Good luck!

Being an adult and the temperature being decent this time of year (here anyway) there is still a good chance that she's okay. I really hope she's fine.

USPS sucks so bad. It's worth paying the extra dough for fedex or usps, in my opinion. I just lost a birthday girl recently though usps. Weak.

Fedex missed their AM delivery time today by 6 hours resulting in two boxes of dead crickets. Last month UPS routed my box incorrectly and it ended up in Tx instead of OR. It's going to happen with every service every now and then. Just sucks it had to happen with this one!
I hope they find it soon and I hope it makes it ok!

Happened to me as well. The frustrating part was the fact that UPS was soo close to the destination, and then, for some odd reason, just decided to take it a number of miles away, and out of the state. They were about 4 hours late.At least my critter arrived in good condition. Guess it was the good packing job that saved him. I guess the only way of 100% guaranteeing safety is purchasing the goods in person at Expos.

Crazy. Perhaps it just got onto the wrong truck. I hope this gets resolved and you can have a new addition to your collection, as planned.

I'm sorry this is happening with your gooty. I had a similar thing happen to me with a p. irmina, L. violaceopes and H. maculata i had shipped to me about a year and a half ago. They were all spiderlings "finding out later that my lampropelma and psalmopoeus were female" were lost in the mail for 6 days before they found them and this was in the fall when the weather was getting pretty chilly. At the end of day 6 i get a call from usps saying it had been in their central shipping facility that was like 2 miles from my house the whole time because someone forgot to scan the package in. I got the babies and due to some strange act of god they were still living. I hope you will be able to get back on here in the next few days and repost saying they found your package.

Sorry to hear that. Usually if they lose a package it'll take them a day or two to reroute it. But 5 days that's a very long time and without even the rerouting info. But like others said since it's an adult it's got a good chance to survive if the box is intact and the weather being so nice.

Just curious will USPS or any of the shipping companies refund the value of the package if it was lost? I think it's a gray area with USPS and shipping arachnids. I see many stores list UPS as a legal way to ship Ts but it's clearly stated on their web site that it's prohibited.

I once lost a $99 dollar pine tree in the USPS. They thought someone stole it, and I still havent got it 1 year 8 months later. Shudder
