John is a very kind and generous person. This has to be my best transaction with anyone so far. He has the best deals around and is willing to work with you. He would be the first person I would recommend to anyone in the hobby.
I purchased a female from him only expecting her but nope he threw in a couple of slings that I was originally going to purchase from the start. His packaging of the T's made it really easy to rehouse them.
I ordered a C. Elegans and H. Sanguiniceps from John. He was quick to respond to my questions and a quote on shipping. After sending payment John shipped the spiders promptly on the next business day. They arrived well packed in a box, with each spider in a clearly labeled straw. He also included an extra H. Incei which was a really nice surprise. I would recommend this seller and look forward to buying from him again in the future.
I am very happy with John's professionalism and with the care he took getting me these small spiderlings. It was all done quickly, no problems at all. I had some special shipping instructions he was happy to accommodate.
I made my first online purchase. A bit nervous at first but went perfect. communications were in a timely manner and packing was perfect. Slings I have bought were healthy. I would purchase again for sure.
Price, selection, communication, health of the T's - in other words, everything!
Cons

We recently purchased a variety of tarantulas from John to add to our website. The T's all arrived straw-packed, which is something we see very, very often. However, I must say that this was the best straw-packing we've ever seen. Everyone was very, very healthy, sized as advertised (or larger), and we're happy as can be.
John's communication was awesome - something that is occasionally lacking in the exotic pet industry, so when we get great customer service, we notice.
The box they arrived in was also appropriately sized. FedEx charges more for larger boxes, so this was great to see!
Excellent communication & packaging, Smooth transaction, Big feisty Ts
John and I swapped bloodlines with some of our excess balfouri males. He was thorough and upfront with his stock. Despite service delays pushing through undesirable weather, he’d confidently assured me the box would hold up. This guy fought his way out the vial. I have no doubt he’ll get the job done. I’ll be checking in with John, for future projects.
Healthy spiders
Great packing
Larger than advertised
Freebies! (Not LP's!!!! Lol)
Held them for me while I was on vacation
I purchased 4 spiders from John and I'm very happy with the transaction! Great communication and he was very accommodating when it came to shipping, as I made the purchase before I left for vacation and then had several weeks of sweltering hot weather when I returned. The spiders arrived in great shape even after USPS decided to delay the package for a day for seemingly no reason, they were packed very well.
Great communication, helpful, awesome shipping price and T prices
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!
This is my first pet tarantula and i was extremely happy. I had a hard time trying to find a GBB this time of year, and he had a sling for only 60 bucks! Super affordable!
Excellent communication! Stayed in touch with me the entire time, even though I'm sure i bothered him quite a bit.
Great packaging! Box lined with styrofoam, packed with packing peanuts, tarantula vile wrapped in brown paper with some breathing holes in the vile, T wrapped inside. T was 100% safe
Cons
I do not have any cons with this seller. Everything went far better than my expectations!
Amazing seller, as stated in my pros/cons. I ordered a C. Cyaneopubescens as a 1.5 sling. It was in excellent condition, extremely gorgeous, was easy to get into its enclosure, and it immediately began exploring for where to web. It was extremely quick and was packaged excellently. I would (and most likely will) purchase from this seller in future months. I can share a photo of the little friend I got too! Its name is Nimhe
Great communication through the whole transaction.
Really good prices
Not so common freebie
Cons
No cons to list
I ordered
2) Chilobrachys Sp. Vietnam Blue
1) Cyriopagopus Sp. Hati Hati
I received the order with excellent communication through the whole process. Also received a K. Brunnipes sling as a freebie.
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.
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.
Picked up a MM P metallica from John, arrived lively and healthy looking and should be ready to do his job soon John responded quickly to my messages and the transaction was smooth.
FANTASTIC PACKER!! Shipment was delayed 7 days. 10 total days in transit. I expecting the worst but to my surprise all spiders came in alive and kicking! Best packer ever. John also threw in two freebies. Did I mention the free roach colony? Will most definitely get more spiders from John. Beautiful specimens also.
Cons
NOT A THING
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.
