  • Great communication, awesome prices, healthy inverts (100% live arrival) and I received freebies!!!

I reached out to Dave about a few species of hissers my daughter and I were interested in and after talking with Dave I decided to buy them. I received everything I ordered (G. oblongonata, G. portentosa, and E. javanica) happy and healthy no casualties + extras of what I had ordered + an entirely extra species (E. chopardi) with several individuals!!! I am VERY happy with my transaction with Dave and I really look forward to ordering from him again in the future.

  • Healthy tarantulas with great packaging.
Cons
  • None.
I purchased three Brachypelma schroederi, and asked for Monday shipping to avoid possible weekend delay.

Today, I recieved all three right on time, in very healthy condition, along with one freebie Brachypelma vagans.

I have been looking for these slings for quite sometime, and I am just glad that I came across with this great dealer. Can’t be happier.

No-fuss purchase of a P. sazimai sling. The packaging was excellent and he threw in a B. vagans freebie! Both arrived in good health and I'd order from him again in a heartbeat.

Pros
  • Communication, Price, Shipping, Packaging, Specimen Quality, Unexpected Freebie, Seller’s Honesty
Cons
  • Absolutely None
I inquired about a certain specimen Dave had for sale a while back desiring a female. Dave was immediately up front and advised he believed all of his specimens were probably male. Honesty like that is generally unexpected in sales, especially when it would have been absolutely honest for him to say, “Hey, it’s a sling. I don’t know”. This situation impressed me so much, I kept an eye on The Invert Shop until I was in the market to buy.

When I wanted to snag my first Phormictopus specimen, a P. auratus, I saw Dave had some. The price was outstanding, so I ordered. I received tracking information that the sling was shipped the evening I ordered it. The sling arrived healthy, active, and larger than advertised. Additionally, I discovered a freebie B. vagans in the box. This was totally unexpected as I had not made a significant purchase as far as cost.

This guy is tremendous! Buy stuff from him, I will again.

Pros
  • Slings were larger than expected-included freebie Dubia Roaches and an extra sling-Great prices-outstanding packaging (triple boxed and 72 hr heat pack)
Cons
  • Absolutely nothing
Sent Dave an email with questions and received a response within 10 minutes. Dave shipped my order the very next day. Dave went out of his way to supply me with a variety of Dubia Roach sizes as my freebie. To my surprise he also included a 1 1/2” B. vegans sling as well. A species I did not own and considered ordering. I was concerned about the tarantulas because the temperatures were only in the 20’s the past few days. When they arrived they were triple boxed, insulated, had a 72 hr heat pack, and every tarantula and Dubia Roach was alive and well. I will definitely be purchasing from Dave and theinvertshop again.

I purchased some B. dubia from Dave during his sale this past weekend and I couldn't be happier!

Talk about going above and beyond, what was suppose to be 300 dubia, turned into over 500 with that generously hefty over-count. All I can say is WOW and thank you!

Every aspect of the purchase and delivery process was excellent. Not a single DOA. Top notch quality all around.

Thank you SO much Dave!

This was my first transaction with Dave and I couldn't be happier! I ordered 3 slings and they arrived promptly and in great condition. He offered to include some free Dubias which I declined, and he sent 2 freebie slings with my order. I definitely recommend buying from him, you won't go wrong!

Pros
  • Everything was great.
Minor delay due to his site having issues (not his fault) contacted me right when he discovered the issue, he more then made up for it by far! Having read reviews I wasn't worried in the least about the delay (we all have lives) and will be a repeat customer. My 6 year old son who got us into this squealed when we opened up the box, to be honest I did too!
