I purchased 2 Grammastola Pulchripes (Chaco Golden Knee) slings from Eli. He went above and beyond to deliver them to me. I received the slings in great condition and packaging. He also answered every question I asked. He has a big inventory of T's and I'm looking forward to purchase more from him again to build my T collection. Check him out, you won't regret it!!! Thanks again Eli!

Pros
  • Super prompt reply to my inquiry Unbeatable prices Has stuff not often seen available Excellent quality animals
Cons
  • None whatsoever
Contacted Eli824 yesterday to inquire about making a purchase and within a couple hours everything was finalized, paid for, and preparing for shipment. All four spiders went out that night via FedEx from the West coast and arrived in my office at 09:00 EDT this morning. There was an unfortunate problem with both S. kovariki slings, but Eli824 rectified the situation immediately. Good, classy guy.
Excellent packing, styrofoam insulation, a small heat pack (with foam between it and the animals though it wasn't really needed), and wonderfully padded vials stuffed with damp paper towel.
Even with the small mishap, I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience and how Eli824 handled everything.
Thank you, Eli824!!

  • Always answered my emails within the same day. Pretty good prices. Really stand up guy.
Cons

I ordered a few T's and he through in two freebies which was very nice. Everyone arrived healthy except a b.vagans that molted during shipping but that is no one's fault. Eli is going to credit me for next purchase so he took care of me. I would recommend him to anybody! :cool:

Since I work so close to Eli824, we met up in a parking lot instead of dealing with FedEx/USPS. The transaction went smoothly. He provided me the plastic enclosure the T was in so no immediate rehouse was necessary. He even offered to show me how he sexes the T's which tells me I am dealing with a great seller who places customer service on top of his list. I will be keeping an eye on his inventory and will definitely be dealing with him again in the future.

Best dealer I have ever dealt with. Answers messages quickly and is a very nice guy. We had an issue with USPS and he went above and beyond to fix it. He even refunded some of the shipping even though it wasn't his fault. Highly recommend him. Just awesome

Pros
  • Integrity Concern for both buyer and animals Goes above and beyond Great Communication Straight Forward, No Hidden Tricks Easy to deal with Dealer with principles
Cons
  • None yet...
I got a variety of Ts from Eli over a few orders and he has time and time again proven himself as one of the best dealers out there. Not only are his descriptions of his Ts accurate, but he also includes full disclosure of what to expect. I received good quality Ts from him and he even goes as far as search for Ts you may be intersted in that he does not have on hand at the moment. His Ts come very well packed you can be sure your Ts are safe. He stands by his Ts and guarantees the Ts he sexed. He is willing to go over and beyond to satisfy his customers. He is very patient and quick to respond to questions and provides pictures of the actual Ts if you request it. He is truly a pleasure to deal with and a great asset to the hobby. I will definitely buy from again. So if you see his posts for available Ts, jump on it. You won't regret.

I actually started my transaction with Elias a couple months back. My money situation wasn't in the best of places and he worked with me threw it all to make sure I got what I wanted. If anybody is looking for and honest, reputable and reliable supplier, Elias is your man. The two most important things to myself in transaction are communication and packaging,,, and Elias hits the nail on the head every time. Some of the best packaging I've seen. All in all will definitely be a return customer, and I will be sending all of my friends in his direction.

Pros
  • Sweet personality, quick to answer questions, great packing, prompt shipping, professionalism, integrity, quality
Cons
  • None!
One of the most wonderful people you could ever meet in the hobby! I received my package today from Elias. All of my tarantulas were very well packed and shipping was very prompt. Eli answered any and all questions I had and even took the time to sex some of the slings he sent me via microscope! He is very sweet and defines integrity to the fullest. I would highly recommend him to anyone in this hobby. He shows professionalism in every way possible and strives to reach the customers satisfaction. He stands by his word and guarantees sexes on specimens that he sells as "sexed". If you see something you like and Eli has it, jump on his list!!!! You won't find a better experience anywhere else and his prices are VERY competitive!!! Thank you, Eli.....Of course you know I'm gonna continue to hit you up....Lol. :)

He sold me great and high end Tarantula's , His packing is Unbelievable packing and safety for my high end Tarantula's. I wanted to buy more Tarantula's from him and he didn't recommend it for me and my life style. show's how he cares about the spider it self. I can't wait to buy more from him. Great guy to talk to and learn a lot from. Will never go to a pet shop again to buy anything. His prices are great and very affordable. He will return all calls as needed. Great business man for the hobby that i LOVE..I wish i can have him run my Business!

  • I'm in love with my new little spiders! Great prices, fantastic communication and a flawless transaction.
Cons
  • None
I picked up two juvenile spiders - C. elegans and N. chromatus. Both spiders are beautiful and appear to be in excellent health. Eli824 was a pleasure to deal with. He held the spiders for me until I could make it down there to pick them up - and I was able to give the kids an afternoon at the beach while we were in the area! I would definitely buy from him again.

Pros
  • 1) Great communication! 2) Good prices! 3) Local pick up as suggested by seller in an effort to save me money on shipping. 4) Discount on Ts purchased. 5) Smooth Transaction.
Cons
  • None!
The transaction was smooth from the word go! I actually failed to meet up on the agreed upon day on the heels of just bad time management, but Eli824 was more than accommodating/flexible the very next day agreed to meet the very next day, in the rain no less. The Ts were on point and as advertised. I look forward to future transactions and would definitely recommend!

Pros
  • Communication Packaging Flexibility
Cons
  • Not a thing
I bought 4 slings from Eli(L. parahybana, A. geniculata, E. cyanognathus and P. sazimai) and the whole process was delightful. First off you don't have to worry about communication with this guy because he was easy to talk to and answered any questions very fast. His selection was very good and he will definitely work with you for Ts you have interest in.
After getting them selected the money was easy to send over Paypal. He was very accommodating with my time constraints as well and threw in a guaranteed arrive by time for no extra cost to me. When the they arrived(well within the time limit), the package was over the top great. A air cell wrapped large plastic cube with heat pack and styrofoam lining, foil, packing peanuts and air cell cushioning very well protected the 4 vials. The vials themselves were well packed with rolled moist towels that kept the tarantulas as snug as a...well...you know. Needless to say they were all alive and well.
All in all great transaction and I would recommend him to anyone.

This guy...
I ordered 2 P. ultramarinus from this guy, and he had it all! He is patient, and is always willing to make sure everything goes well. He even offered to give a discount just to do pickup instead of shipping. And when I couldn't do that, he was chill, did his magic, and I had 2 very healthy ultra slings and a freebie G. pulchripes. Definitely will buy from this guy again! Everything was chill, and he even did weatherproof to ensure the safety of the sling, even if a preposterous mishap were to happen. Thanks Eli!

I contacted Eli824 after seeing one of his post so I messaged him and within a few minutes he contacted me back. I was the sent a link to a page www.arachnofreak.com, selected the Ts that I wanted payed and he shipped them the next morning and they arrived the next day! Throughout the whole transaction he stays in contact with you until your T's arrive to your doorstep.Its simple really
-Select T
-Pay and exchange info
-Ships next day with tracking #
-Packaged well
-Healthy T's
This is definitely someone I recommend and would purchase from again.
