Traded a MM for a handful of slings from John, very pleased with what I got, and he also offered to send me some of the slings if the breeding is successful. No ice pack, the paper towels were pretty warm when I unpacked the spiders but they are all in great condition, no harm no foul!

I wouldn't hesitate to do business with John again!

Good communication, great prices, and he always has something fun. His shipping methods get the job done and is one of the few people to offer two day shipping with lag if you meet his requirements. Will deffinitly be dealing with him in the future.

Pros
  • Great communication and a willingness to work together. Included freebies simply because he is an awesome human.
Cons
  • ZERO
I offered John2097 a trade which he was open to.

Negotiation was simple and mutually benificial. John was even willing to give up one of his holdback slings just to help me out.

When he was unable to ship out his portion of the trade on the day he planned he added in freebies to the box even though I was in no rush to receive and did not mind the delay.

Communication was spot on throughout the entire process.

The packaging was also the most professional and effective packaging I have ever seen in over 10 years of being in the hobby.

I highly recommend doing business with John2097 again and again.

Funny thing I had contacted him earlier about buying a few
Chilobrachys Vietnam blue's he had up for grabs. He didn't have any at that time. Well he contacted me at a later date and went ahead and bought a few for me and my wife to enjoy. Would buy from again.
