John2097

I originally ordered a P. sazimai female from John2097, she went into a "death curl" prior to shipping. John let me know this, and was kind enough to offer a sexed female B. klassi or my money back as an alternative. I opted for the B. klassi, and also chose to add to my order a h sp Columbia large 1''. Both arrived alive and are seemingly doing well. THANK YOU JOHN!

High marks, good dealer and communicator, would like to do more business in the future. Wish most breeders or dealers are as easy to communicate with. Thanks John!

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.

We traded Brachypelma for Chilobrachys. The package was well prepared, the spiders were accurately represented, the communication was excellent. Wouldn’t hesitate to purchase in the future.

John was very informative and helpful to make the whole process quick and painless. He shipped the next day, and my spider was delivered in perfect condition. The packing was very secure! I definitely recommend John, and I'm sure I'll be buying from them again soon!

John reached out to me a few times about my mature male Acanthoscurria geniculata, as he has a freshly molted mature female and was looking to breed her.

My A gen was probably one of my top 3 favorite spiders, so I was reluctant to send him through the mail, but John was very nice and patient with me through my waffling and made a very generous offer for the exchange after my local breeding plans fell through.

After some soul-searching, I agreed to send my boy off to John to do man-spider stuff with his lady spider. The transaction was very smooth: I watched some videos on packaging for cooler temps and was happy that my boy arrived safe and sound, while John sent me a generous number of slings for my collection in exchange. They all arrived today, were well-packed, and are all alive and feisty.

John's communication has been great through the whole transaction. I hope my boy can hold up his end of the deal over there and we all end up with a bunch of fresh A genics some time next year

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!

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!

Recently did a trade with John...Packages where both picked up due to hot temps in our locations. All went smooth as silk! He did an awesome job with straw packing each of them. The plugs came out by hand easily when removing the new slings! John also had great communication with me through out the transaction. Great guy to do business with, and I plan to do more biz with him in the future!!! A+++

I did a trade with John . I shipped him a mm p met. I had and few weeks later when his b. Cobacla slings we're ready he shipped his package and the it was packed great and communication was great.

Traded my MM for a few of John’s slings. It’s nice to see someone focused more on the hobby than making money. Definitely looking forward to buying from John again!

I'd give 6 stars for the packaging if I could. All around good dealer, would absolutely do business with him again.

John was fast, friendly, and communicative. Prices were also very reasonable, a tiny bit cheaper than elsewhere. My order was well packaged, all of the slings arrived in good shape, and they were easy to unpack. He included two freebies and was courteous enough to check if I wanted them before sending, which I appreciated. All in all great experience! I'd definitely order from him again.

Just received 6 Chilobrachys slings in a trade with John 2097. Communication was great, packing was secure, and everyone arrived on time and healthy. He was even kind enough to include extras. I'm excited to add these spiders to my collection!

John was easy to order from and do business with. This was my first purchase from the classifieds here on arachnoboards and john set the bar pretty high for other sellers. It was a pleasant experience doing business with him, and ill be sure to continue making purchases from him when he has new inventory.

Got a beautiful female A. chalchodes.
All questions were answered before and after purchase.
Shipping was exceedingly quick and the tarantula was packaged very well with moist paper towels.

Positive review for John. He inquired about a male Megaphobema robustum I had for sale on a Facebook arachnid classified page. We decided on a very fair trade of several tarantula slings for my juvenile male, each paying our own way for shipping, which was super easy since we are both in NJ. All tarantulas arrived on the scheduled date, alive and healthy. Would not hesitate to do business with again.

Traded my MM D. Diamantenesis for a juvenile K Brumnipes. John was easy to reach and responded quickly. Would work with again !

John is a top notch vendor and a stand up guy. His ts, his packaging, and the way he conducts business is definitely among the best of the best. If you ever see his adds, understand you are in good hands with this guy.
Id gladly do biz with him anytime and would recommend him to anybody.
Thanks for everything John. Its cool to see theres good people out there still. I look forward to future dealings with you

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.
