One of the smoothest transactions I've had. John was friendly and kept me updated on the status of my T's the whole time. Great prices to boot! Will definitely be ordering from him again.
I got two Balfouri from John2097 and he sent me a free Acanthoscurria Geniculata which was totally awesome. They got here safe and were packed really well.
John doesn't keep a huge assortment, but the things he has are always good.
I have purchased from John on three occasions and all of them have arrived alive and in perfect condition. I purchased some B. albiceps and a L. violaceopes and john threw in two freebies. He gave me a good deal on the slings. In the past, I purchased a communal of 10 N. incei and they all arrived alive as well. He communicates through FB messenger very effectively and has also consulted with me about questions related to the hobby that are not related to purchases which i think makes him a better choice than some others. His prices are always decent and better than most of the competition. John is someone I will always feel confident purchasing from and recommend to others.
John was easy to communicate with and is honest to his word. Packaging was flawless and had no complaints. I will be saving his number and be doing business again in the NEAR future.
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.
Great communication, fair trade, easy to work with, decent packaging
Cons

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!

Ordered a 2.5" G. pulchra and cannot be more happy. John is extremely helpful and answered my questions promptly. Extremely well packed and also threw in a freebie as well. Will definitely be back again as the collection expands!
Bought a nice b aurotum. He threw in a freebie also. I will be doing business again very soon with him. If your looking at his tarantulas don’t hesitate to purchase from him.
Healthy animals, great pricing, and good communication.

Purchased 0.1 M.balfouri and 0.1 B.boehmei. Animals came in perfectly fine and at a great price! Great communication before and after purchase will 100% purchase from again!
I made this second purchase nearly immediately after my first with them (a new ad was posted) - so glad I did! They worked with me on shipping around my schedule, extra info on a species I needed, and all around they just have fantastic customer service. I'll definitely continue checking for their listings first whenever I need a new t fix. Definitely looking forward to it!
Fast Shipping, Excellent Communication, Nice and Friendly

John2097 was very quick to ship out my order i received it within a day of paying for it. He was very kind and easy to communicate with!
I would highly recommend him, I purchased a Pokie and it was packed super conveniently! I didn't have to deal with a sweaty and action packed rehouse, smooth experience all around
Responds in a timely fashion and is knowledgeable and helpful all around.
Cons
No cons.
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.
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.
Great reception and very, very, very active orders.
Cons
None
Bought a MM for a breeding project and man does this MM don't disappoint. It's healthy active and very receptive to the female. I'm not disappointed in the slightest.

Cons
When you deal with such amazing people you just end up spending to much money...
