John2097

I received 3 slings from John. All are super lively and healthy! Packaging was great and he was super good about communicating, answering questions, and making sure I recieved what I wanted. Definitely knowledgeable and takes great care of his tarantulas! Very happy and will 100% order from him again. Highly recommend!

I purchased 3 T's from John. He responded very quickly to my messages. His prices were great. He shipped my package out quickly and it was well packed. Unfortunately one of the T's died in transit. I do not know why, as they were well packed and it was a mature T. One of those things I guess. John made it right promptly refunded the cost of the DOA.
I don't blame him at all and he stood by his LAG. I can't ask for anything more.
I absolutely would buy from him again and would be happy to do it!
Thanks John!!

Everything went very well. After a few days of discussion I ordered 5x balfouri and John sent me 2 K. brunnipes slings for free.
Well packaged and John kept me updated even through AB going down.
10/10

Well packaged
Throughly answered all questions. Spider is settling in well

I like the little gift wrapping John had done. Its always nice opening things that are wrapped in wrapping paper!

I contacted John last Saturday about a few slings and we quickly had a deal in place. I was even able to add to my purchase the day before shipping. He was very curdious and very quick with his responses. Upon recieveing the slings, everything was maticulously packed and very lively. I was even surprised to find an additional freebie that came with the order( Not your regular freebies either). I give this review a A++ and would not hesitate to make another order with John. I recorded my unboxing and review on YouTube here.

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!

Great seller, it was my first time buying on this site and it was a great experience. 11/10 and will fs buy from John next time All spiders arrived in great health and John sent me details and helped me with every question. Thank you John.

I bought 3 P. gigas from John. He shipped the next day. The only issues I had weren’t his fault it was fed-ex as it got held up in Memphis. This guy is a great seller and the way he packed them was inventive and superb. There was no way they wouldn’t arrive safely.

Purchased P Pulcher slings and Vietnam blue slings, great prices and feedback will purchase more slings in the future

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.

Really nice, one of the sling died from a bad molt during shipping and John happily replaced it at no cost.

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.

Contacted John about a few Haplocosmia himalayana slings and within a few days they were boxed and shipped. They were well packaged and came in lively. He even tossed in a fourth for me. I highly recommend him. I know I’ll be doing future business with him, you should to haha

johns a great guy with a lot of great tarantulas all very healthy he is willing to work with you and help you out in any way he can. he extremely selfless and I couldn't be happier with all my new ts THANKS AGAIN!!!!!

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 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.
