Pros
  • Prices
  • Willingness to correct mistakes in order
  • Selection
Cons
  • Lack of communication
I ordered a C. Elegans female from the seven wonders tarantulas website using their 25% off promo code. On first ship (a week after I placed my order) they mixed up my order and sent me a H. formosus female and a freebie. Jonathan immediately agreed to correct their mistake, and sent an extra freebie alongside the correct C. elegans female they sent me. I definitely recommend purchasing from them! All of the slings were packaged well and they arrived very healthy and are thriving right now.
Excellent service. Above and beyond.

This review is in response to the recent sale by Eresus spider shop. I placed 2 orders and after reading some recent reviews for that company I was getting a bit nervous.

I'm not sure how much of this order was fulfilled by Eresus and how much was done by Seven wonders, I just know that my final dealing was with Jonathan from Seven Wonders.

Jonathan Silva from Seven Wonders came through with flying colors to complete the order. He provided great service and continued communication. He didn't ship 2 of the slings because he didn't think they would survive and promptly gave a refund for them.

I would recommend Jonathan and Seven Wonders wholeheartedly and would gladly order from him again.

  • Seven Wonder Tarantulas was very accommodating to my needs for shipping dates. I received a variety of T's, all of which arrived in strong and healthy condition. The slings were sized as described and the packaging was excellent. I would definitely buy from Seven Wonders Tarantulas again.

Pros
  • TONS of species available, some of the best prices, great freebie options
I'll leave a completely honest review. I grabbed a Theraphosa blondi, Poecilotheria hanumavilasumica, 2x Poecilotheria tigrinawesseli and got a freebie Poecilotheria fasciata. The seller gave me a GREAT deal, I originally only bought ONE tigrinawesseli, but was offered a much much larger one for a fraction of the cost of what they normally are, so I said "Let's do it" as an additional T. Anyway, the seller ships on Tuesdays. So don't expect a purchase and then immediately ship. They have many orders and they picked a shipping day for all of their orders to go out.

My experience with having a box of 5 tarantulas delivered was great. Always wanted a blondi and I finally got one, and I like collecting rare and ESA Poecilotheria and it was a great purchase. The seller is an employee working two jobs full time and I can see where someone could worry about communication, but the seller always got back to me and shipped the product yesterday and I opened the box today. All healthy tarantulas of different sizes, and at a major discount compared to other vendors. The shipping and packaging was wonderful, next day shipping (from shipping out Tuesday), healthy spiders and a HUGE inventory list of available species.

I'd recommend them for prices and species availability and great freebies any day, and because the vendor offered great additional deals to me and was very helpful.

I came by their booth at the Pomona Reptile show, and I picked up two slings I really wanted and I was giving a freebie with my purchase. Thanks again.

Late on this review, made two separate purchases. A total of four transactions to date.

November -
Jonathan made a special trip to meet up with me to drop off a 1.25” G. pulchra the night before an expo just north. I’ve meet Jonathan twice before for other pickups and each time I had messed up the meet spot and he was patient and chill about it. He talked with me a bit and even invited me to the expo but the timing didn’t work for me.

December -
Met up with Diego for the first time. Super chill and outgoing. This time I picked up a 2.5” G. pulchra and he also was able to hook me up with the last G. rosea (rcf) they had. It was looking like a no-go and he pulled through.

Not only did I get what I wanted, he threw in a N. chromatus and then offered me a choice between a P. metallica or regalis sling. I went with regalis since I’ve never had one and my last metallica didn’t quite work out. Was super cool to learn he was an ow guy.

My experience has been consistently positive and looking forward to the next transaction.

I purchased some spiderlings from this seller who graciously agreed to delay shipping until after an event I needed to attend. Shipped on time, good packing job, excellent communication, cool freebie too! Diego is a good guy and I would not hesitate to purchase from him again. 10/10

I’ve purchased from seven wonders several times. Every time it’s been a pleasure. They have a great selection, their prices are fair, they offer great freebies. Most recently I bought a couple seladonia slings and was able to pick them up in person from Diego. The transaction was smooth, communication was easy and the slings were robust. One of my absolute favorite vendors to deal with and purchase from!
Wide Selection, Good Prices!

Pros
  • Wide Variety of Species
  • Great Prices for Many Species
  • Easy to Talk To
  • Great Deals
I've bought tarantulas from this place 3-4 times and all were pleasant! They offer a very large selection of species and have certain deals and specials they offer and rotate monthly. All my Ts arrived in healthy condition every time (except one which died on the way back from an expo, but that was most likely due to stress) and I obtained a balfouri communal from them at a very low price!

They're present at some of the expos here in California and the owners are extremely easy to talk to and will work with you to make the purchase a great experience. They're based in Fresno which is a bit far for me, but Diego didn't hesitate to meet me nearer my house multiple times to give me my Ts so that I did not have to pay shipping. Definitely a plus and great service!

They're also open to trades, etc. I believe, as I traded one of my MM p. cambridgei with them and am hoping the mating is successful! I believe they are most present on FB, so definitely check them out there.
Great communication and service

Very accomodating for last minute changes, great communication the whole way through. When one species I had payed for turned out to be out of stock, they told me I could substitute it with a species of a higher value at no added cost to me, and added a couple of extra surprises (I think for the inconvenience, which really wasn't an inconvenience). All the slings arrived promptly and safely, larger than I expected, and packaging was on point. A very generous and attentive seller!

  • Healthy Ts, great prices, good communication
Cons

It took a while to organize a ship date because of weather and my own schedule problems, but we made it work and the ts are doing great. Only bit of feed back is the vials with the ts were reused, and one had a label on it for a t I hadn't ordered, which lead to some confusion, but the order was correct and they immediately answered me when I voiced my concern.

Purchased 2 Y. Diversipes and they were shipped out the following week. Seller also included a free pokie with the order. Order was picked up without issue and everything was packaged properly. The entire order process was quick and easy. Definitely got my money's worth. Highly recommend them and will definitely do business with them again.

Had a slight issue with the two smallest ones I ordered, but I had specifically asked for the smallest. They also sent me replacements the next day. Very helpful answering all my questions, and everyone else I ordered looks great 👍

Jonathan and I had a mix up from my previous order so he shipped the parts of the previous order that he missed free of charge and even threw in a free P. pulcher!! Can't say enough good things about him. He is reliable, consistent, and trustworthy. I definitely recommend him to everybody!!!

Jonathan’s communication throughout this transaction was second to none. Ordered 9 T’s - some of which weren’t even in his sale list, but he still gave an awesome discount. On top of that, he even added a freebie.
Packaging was A+. Heat pack was still warm when I picked up the T’s.
Will definitely do more business in the future.

Can't say enough about them, Placed an order, order arrived on time, my freebie sling didn't survive, not only did they replace, but sent me a couple extra. They absolutely went above and beyond in customer service, I would buy from then anytime and feel great about it Only have two thumbs, so I can only give them two thumbs up

Jonathan is an amazing guy. I ordered a large batch of T's from him and though the plan was initially to have them shipped, he went out of his way to deliver the T's in person. He had a mask on (A+ for social distancing) and was knowledgeable, kind, and prompt. He forgot to bring a couple T's but he quickly fixed that issue. We are all bound to make mistakes, what matters and what makes Jonathan exceptional is how he quickly and fairly rectified the issue. He is my go to guy now for T's and would not hesitate to purchase anything from thing. Thanks!

Once again Jonathan came through. Went out of his way and hand delivered my a. bicoloratum at 8:30 at night. Having met him in person he is an awesome guy with a lot of patience, and knows his T’s.

Anyone thinking of purchasing from Jonathan will be in good hands, and I would highly recommend him.
