Pros
  • Communication, cool freebie, left a card for me to remember him by, polite and prompt
Cons
  • He needs more stock so I can buy more often!
Shay communicated beautifully. He made the transaction completely painless and he even threw a freebie in with my order. He shipped promptly and the package arrived the next day. Everything was packed superbly and the spiders arrived in good health. He even was willing to give advice on breeding the species that I purchased when I asked! He obviously cares for his animals and the hobby as a whole. I hope to do business with him in the future!!! 5+ ⭐

  • Great communication! Integrity as a seller! Perfect packing! Great prices & selection!
Cons
  • None
I have now recieved my second order of Ts from Shay. I have been extremely satisfied with the communication and attention to details in packing. Through the entire process the communication was continuous and curteous. The prices offered are very appropriate and their is never any question or unsatisfaction when they arrive, you get exactly what you ordered. From beginning to end I was impressed with the amount of care given to the Ts as well as me the buyer. When my express shipment did not arrive by its guarenteed time of arrival, Shay took the initiative to get me a refund for the shipping cost, beyond impressed! Even with the Ts lost is shipping for an extra day, they arrived perfecly fine due to her outstanding packing job. I will deffinately continue to buy form Shay, and you should too!

Shay is a great guy all around, and was more than willing to answer all of my questions. He was very understanding of my situation, and was more than willing to accommodate for it. I would very highly recommend him, and will definitely do business with him again in the future. If I could give him a 6/5 stars, I would do it in a second.

This was my first transaction on Arachnoboards in years, and I couldn't be happier. The packaging was beautiful, and the T's arrived safely and secure. Communication with this seller was stellar, no matter the time of day, whenever I shot a text they replied immediately. A++ will buy from again.

Pros
  • Great price, great packing, healthy tarantulas, willing to negotiate, easy to talk to, very thoughtful, and kind.
Cons
  • None, none, none.
Purchased:
1” Caribena versicolor x 1
3/4” Dolichothele diamantinensis x 1

Freebie:
3/4” Neoholothele Incei x2

I’ve talked to @GunniesSpiders via text message (provided on arachnoboards/classifieds). He was very kind enough to go through with me all the optional lists of tarantulas he has, and offered me great choices, and prices for tarantulas I wanted.

He has constantly talked to me via text message from the beginning to the end, to provide me info about the tarantulas I was about to get, and as well as shipped package status info.

Great buying experience over all!

Ordered two versicolor slings, and the communication was fantastic! I wasn't able to originally send a message due to a full inbox, so he contacted me instead. Was very helpful when I had requested the package to be held at the local post office, and the shipping was fast! Now I have two beautiful versi slings and a freebie incei to add to the collection :)

I purchased one p.metellica and one versicolor, he was kind enough to give me 3 freebies in top of that, but the important part was the price of each T, the price were unbeatable to any dealer I've seen, communication was great and perfect and still till this day, as I would ask him questions about the T's. He sent the T's Monday, unfortunately the postal office delayed the packages from 1-day shipping to 3-days with holidays, on top of that there was a delay on the package as well! This was in late November so temps here are in the low colds, despite everything the slings came and all 5 slings were perfectly healthy! The packaging was cased with styrofoam and a heat pack! Thanks to the dealers care and caution all the T's are alive and well despite being delayed for 4 days! Overall i would always recommend buying from this dealer and I wouldn't hesitate to make a purchase again! Thanks a lot.

Spoke to Gunnie last Thursday about shipping me some slings. Temps here were getting cold overnight so he agreed to ship a week later. Shipment was packed incredibly well with heat pack "still warm when it arrived yesterday". 3 C. Versi's and 2 P Irminia. Shay was kind enough to throw in a free N. Incei. as well after i refused an Old World freebie as I still havent made that plunge lol. I would not hesitate to do business with Shay again "and will be doing so" he has great prices, excellent communication, and his packing is top notch. This was my first online purchase and he made it an incredibly easy/hassle free experience. Thanks so much Shay !!!!!!

Purchased some Caribena versicolor spiderlings and needed them to arrive on a day I'd be available to receive them. Shay was able to get them to me on time despite the unexpected difficulties of dealing with Fedex.

  • Fat/plump slings, fast shipping, friendly/professional customer service, nice price, great packaging. :)
Purchased a baby Poeki metallica from Shay. Refused a freebie at first because Im limited to species that dont kick urticating hairs but he insisted on a freebie A. versicolor (Type II hair) The slings were fat and healthy. Customer service and packaging were top notched.This is awesome!

It's my first buying Ts from this forum and all I can say is that Shay is a top notch seller! Got a very nice package from him for a great (affordable) price and he even throw in some freebies :) He also spend some time responding to my queries which is very helpful for newbies like me...

I started from 2 Ts I bought from a reptile show and now I have 7 more, for a total of 9 now! Will definitely be a repeat customer to expand my T species collection and when I have more enclosures made lol

  • Routine breeder of taste, Knows how to shake out a stuck box, Best communication
Cons
  • None
After an unpromising + extended search for MMs, was very fortunate running into Shay here. Turned out to serve more as an intro for us. This was likely my first purchase in over a year, yet plenty still needed from Shay (who was patient throughout our trade and its ongoing modifications.) I'm often indecisive. On the other hand, can't say there's any point they might have shown up any less than perfect (+a few extra). Thanks again!!
