John2097

Contacted John about some ts, adding more brachypelma to my collection and ended working a great deal. Ordered about 10 ts all were packed nicely. And didnt have any problems.

I put out an add for a female neoholothele incei and within a few hours he had messaged med staring he had a female at a price i couldnt pass up on and she was paired and possibly gravid. She arrived healthy and bolty. Would definitely purchase from him again.

First off it was a pleasure doing business with John2097.
Facts:
1) Great correspondence/communication from the get go.
2) Tarantula was shipped and arrived as discussed (e.g.: prompt shipping), seller offered modes/options.
3) Superb packing of the tarantula itself and the innards of the box and the included heat pack.
4) And the kicker.........
A freebie C.kaeng krachan was included, ironically a species of tarantula that I've been looking to purchase since getting heavy into Chilobrachys of late. Huge shout out to John, Thanks!
A definite recommend!

As per our ad on in the classifieds we were looking to add a good number of breeding females into our stock. John sent us a message with a list of females he had available. We purchased nearly all of them. The packaging was solid, very firm, didn't allow the spiders to possibly wiggle their way out. He included a heat pack. Also insulated the box. The best part about the transaction is how quick he was to respond once the conversation began, which is something that we appreciate when moving large amounts of money. Would purchase from John again.

Did an amazing job packing and communicating. Put up with me which is a plus as im crazy with this shipping fears. He was upfront about when he could send and watched the tracking as I did. I would buy from again and appreciate all the help before and after!

John has always given me the best possible service, his prices are always pleasantly surprising, his communication is great, and he does business just the way I like. He ships very quickly after you've ordered and ships well, the packaging is always tight and temperature controlled great, I.e. heat pack. This was not my first order and will not be my last.

I made my purchase while Ohio was insanely cold and he was nice enough to hold the t's for me until the weather got better. Easy transaction all around, good prices and variety, John is knowledgeable about the species he deals with and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him.

I purchased several B. albiceps slings from John along with two freebies! They all arrived real plump and healthy today.
Everything was just excellent. It was so thoughtful that he asked if I was OK with a certain species as a freebie. I was surprised he was selling B. albiceps slings at such a low price, considering they are perfectly started and how uncommon and beautiful this species is.
Aside from a local meet up purchase, John is the first person that I’ve purchased tarantulas from Arachnoboards. His packaging is superb! I was surprised that there wasn’t a heat pack in the box, but rest assured the way tarantulas were packed made up for it. Definitely will purchase from John again.

T's were of really nice size and price was great!
Perfect packing job! USPS decided to give the package an extra couple days tour of the country and the packing saved them.
Extras! Ordered 3 P. ornate and got 4 and all arrived safely despite the USPS.
Great Communication from John.
Will not hesitate to buy from John2097 again. I'll just make sure I pay the extra for overnight shipping! I trust John, but not the USPS.

Purchased a group of slings from John. Great prices and selection. Fast shipping and excellent packing. Threw in a couple of freebies as well. Would purchase from again.

Purchased a few slings from John, everything went well. I'm very happy with the purchase. I'll buy from him again.

I ordered a MM M.balfouri from John. he was great with communication and answered all my questions I had. the packaged shipped the day he said it would and arrived on time. packing was good and not only did I get what i ordered, but he also gave me 3 free N. incei. was surprised to see them in there as well and much appreciated!

Great seller, excellent communication. T's were packed very well and arrived happy and healthy. Thanks John!

Seller was fantastic from start to finish. He gave me great prices on his Ts and even threw in one for free without me asking for it. Ts were packed professionally and arrived quickly.

Would recommend for sure. Will use again!

Bought 7 T slings way under market value even with shipping included! Would of been thrilled with it as is, but it didn't stop. 15 freebies were included! No kidding, 15 free little slings of 3 different species!

Shipping and packaging was perfect! Everything was well protected.

Communication was really good too! Every time I messaged him. He messaged back in probably less then an hour. Even when I got off work at 2AM and sent a message. He still messaged back pretty quick. Sorry if I woke you.

When the time comes. I will be buying from this seller with ZERO hesitation!

John gave me a complimentary T for just a $50 purchase! On top of that, both my T's were well packaged and were alive and healthy on arrival.

I bought a bulk set of 17 tarantulas from John, and I couldn't be happier. They were priced at nearly wholesale - a selection of five of them would have been worth more than what I paid for the lot. I've got no complaints about this seller, and I'd certainly do business with him again in the future.

My review is in the Pros box. As I stated (in the wrong section) John is without a doubt the best packer that exists. I will continue to purchase tarantulas from him.

All slings arrived happy and healthy. John was very helpful and communicated with me every step of the way. Would buy from again in the future.

Traded a hapalopus sp Columbia mm for three slings. All three came alive and healthy. Nice guy, would do business with again.
