Made a purchase with Casey last weekend and the transaction went extremely smooth. Received my package today and all of them were alive and healthy. I also wanted to mention her method of payment(Google Wallet) just in case people are hesitant to use it, don't worry over it she's trustworthy and I'll be looking forward to my next transaction with her.

Pros
  • Easy purchase, excellent packaging, Ts safe and well.
Cons
  • Nothing.
This was my first T purchase and it's safe to say that Casey is an amazing T dealer with good prices and flexible on everything. You will need to download google wallet and log in with a gmail account and add a credit card, but it's really easy. Would definetely buy from her again.

Yes
Pros
  • Amazing communication
Cons
  • Packaging was slightly awkward, as when the box was opened, there were som Avic feet sticking out
Great, dealer. Casey was very flexible with shipping dates and terms. Communication was spot on. Only thing, I'd recommend her do slightly differently is packing, as the A. diversipes was missing part of its pedipalp's tarsus, and when the package was opened, the A. avic's feet were sticking out. Other than that, great dealer and would definitely work with her again. :)

I got a fairly large order of tarantulas for me (12) from Casey today. Everything looked fantastic. Everything was packed properly and came in a nice warm box. There are no negatives to convey. It was perfect. Thank you Casey! I'll be back

Purchased an H. cafreriana on 11 Jan 2017. Had to wait due to it getting ready to molt. Casey stayed in contact the entire time. It was packaged well. A little different than I'm used to, but I liked it. I'll be keeping an eye out for her future sales.

Pros
  • Sent a heat pack to take some money off the total cost of buying an item from me. Due to cold weather, we will have to wait until it is warmer.
Cons
  • None
Casey sent me a 72 hour heat pack so I could ship a millipede to her. However, it got too cold and therefore we have to wait. Regardless, the communication was perfect, and everything was fast and painless. I would definitely do work with her again.

  • -animal arrived in very good health -very well packaged -great communication -Casey was kind and answered all my questions (no matter how silly they were!) -great prices -will buy from her many more times!
Cons
  • -Nothing! Just wish I had found her sooner!
I am new to the hobby and this is the first purchase I have made from a dealer (the other 2 T's I bought through a website). I was concerned about ordering from someone I really didn't know, but I'm so glad I did! Casey had a 3" B. Smithi female with a fantastic price so I contacted her. She answered quickly and addressed all my questions and concerns! She is super sweet and friendly and definitely cares about her T's and her customers! I will buy from her many more times and recommend her whole heartedly!!! Thank you so much Casey!!

  • Everything, prices were great, shipping was great, and communication was great!
I've been looking at Casey's listings for a while now cause of her selection of females and good prices. Finally decided to purchase a B. albopilosum "Nicaraguan" she had. Messaged her saturday, she sent pics with no hesitation, and the transaction was done by the end of the night. She also shipped exactly when she said she would. I'm sure I'll be purchasing from her again soon.

Purchased two very juvenile female Ts, they came well-packaged, fat, and sassy! She supplied the molt for the B. schroederi where I believe I've been able to identify spermatheca; the P. sazimai chewed her molt up but I have faith she's been honest on these girls. Thanks so much!

So it was late Sunday night when I decided to shoot Casey a message letting her know I wanted to order some T's. I did not expect a reply that fast, that late! From the very beginning, she was helpful and always replied to my messages quickly. She has a very great selection at great prices. My T's arrived perfectly packed, and in great condition. I was even a day late picking them up, but they arrived happy and healthy! I can't say enough how pleased I am with this transaction. She definitely has a passion for this hobby and it shows with the care and detail she puts into each transaction. I will definitely be ordering from her again!

Pros
  • Communication, selection, fairness
Cons
  • None
Casey and I made a trade, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Through no fault of her own, the spiders ended up getting severely delayed in transit. Luckily, all arrived safe and sound. Her communication is impeccable - I don't believe that I waited more than an hour for a response to any of my messages to her. That's even more impressive when you consider our time zone difference. She was on top of the issue with the shipper, even going as far as to call them and see what was happening. My only (minor) complaint was with packaging. Some styrofoam lining would have been appreciated, as the inside of the box was noticeably warm upon arrival. All species delivered were arid though, hence it being a minor complaint.

I will absolutely be doing business with Casey in the future!

I bought a 3" female B. vagans from Casey that arrived today. Everything about the transaction was positive. Casey communicated with me quickly regarding shipment options and times and made sure temps in my area would be good before shipping. She let me know that my T as on its way after dropping her off at the post office and sent me the tracking info.

The new T was exactly as advertised and looks healthy and well-fed. I will definitely be ordering from Casey again!

Pros
  • Exactly as discribed. She also threw in a freebie C. darlingi.
Cons
  • Packaging could improve.
I haven't been in the hobby for a while. Just recently got back in. I ordered a pair of H. maculata from Casey K. Everything regarding the order was perfect except the packaging. The communication, fast shipping, price. It was all great.

The packaging was a little different than I have experienced in the past. The H. maculata pair were both in the same vial. They were safely packed and separated. But unpacking two fast, OW Ts from one vial was different.

The reason for posting two stars on the packaging was for how the "freebie" was packed. I get that it was a freebie and if something were to have happened to it, I didn't pay for it. But, it was in the vial with only tissue under it. To much space to bounce around and possibly be injured or killed.

Other than the lack of regard for the freebie, everything else was perfect. I did advise her to be sure to package the slings better and she seemed to have been willing to take the advise.

I would do business with Casey K again. Based solely on her communication, prices, and politeness.

Thanks again for the beautiful H. mac pair!

The pros above say it all! Casey K is one of only a handful of breeders that I'm comfortable doing business with. Do not hesitate if you're considering purchasing from her. Her T's are packed extremely well and always arrive healthy and fat - not to mention some of the best prices out there! I'm also impressed that she is never too busy to help others with questions or problems in this hobby...she is a great asset to have in this hobby!

Perfect trade :) I'm super happy that everything worked out. For sure the best communication on the boards! Packing was top quality and my beautiful incei came out "happy" and quickly webbed everything up. Definitely someone to learn from in terms of packing the T in tight and comfortable. Thanks Casey!
