I purchased a C. vonwirthi from Tom, and I would buy from him in a heartbeat if he ever has something else I’m interested in. He responded to my messages in a timely manner, and he did a great job packing the T. The T arrived safe and sound, and is starting to settle in. Very pleased with my purchase.... Thanks again!

  • Quick response
  • High-quality T's
  • Top-quality packing
  • Good price
Cons

Always trust Tom!

I purchased a pair of moderatum from Tom. He responded quickly, and offered me a pair with a good price.
He explained possible situations of shipping issues (delay by Postal Office with current shipping demands).
However, he still offered LAG, even with the delay! Totally worry free!!!
I uploaded the unboxing video to show how secure his packing is.

Again, always trust Tom!

I will purchase from him again.

First time ordering and everything went great! Extra care was taken in the packaging to assure the health of the tarantula in case of delays with the delivery and she arrived in great condition. Well worth the 10 minutes it took to unbox everything!!

Pros
  • The packaging for the tarantula was awesome. The T did come not moving (until I flipped it over and it was fine) but it was not his fault. Fast communication and good lag deals.
Cons
  • None that he could of avoided.
Got a mature female chalcodes and I got her in a weird condition due to mail being.... mail. She quickly recovered so no blame there.
I said all I could about this transaction. He definitely is not a scammer and is very fair.

Pros
  • - Extremely helpful in explaining any questions! - Extremely effective at communicating! - Extremely cheap prices! - Scorpions came in alive and feisty! - Send me freebie juvenile scorpion! - Packaging was amazing, BEST I've ever seen! - Super fast and cheap delivery!
Cons
  • ABSOLUTELY NONE!
I purchased a female Dune Scorpion from Tom for $5 plus $20 shipping. Tom was extremely helpful in making sure that I received the smallest female sub-adult that he had, a special request that I made! Checkout was easy and Tom notified me as soon as he had shipped the packages. Tom also let me know that he would also be shipping a freebie juvenile female scorpion for free in the package (Thanks Tom that was so kind)! When the scorpions arrived, they were well wrapped with air mailers, newspaper, and a styro-foam box to protect them from the cold. Each scorpion came in a small sauce cup (like you would find in a restaurant) with extra paper towel padding the sides for them. Both were alive and looked extremely healthy! 100% please purchase from Tom, he is a remarkable seller and cares about the customer and the animals that he sells!

Pros
  • Exactly what I wanted/ordered. Super price. Shipped quickly, packaged well. Arrived alive.
Cons
  • None.
Tom rocks. He was patient with his explanation of sizes/ages of the tarantula species I was interested in. When I finally made my choice, he sent her out quickly and very well packaged. She’s even more beautiful than I imagined, and worth every penny. I would absolutely buy from Tom again.

  • Lots of great communication and tailored collecting to my interests.

Steady, reliable communication. Willing to hold shipping while he visited other collecting spots to expand my order, rather than just clearing the transaction to get his cash as fast as possible. Healthy animals shipped in good packaging. Thanks very much!

Tom did an absolutely amazing packing job. Honestly, it may be the best I’ve ever seen. All of the scorps I ordered from showed up in great condition and he even threw in a free sculpteratus!

I will definitely be ordering from him again!

Pros
  • Communication, shipping, great looking healthy T's, and legit prices.
Cons
  • Please read headline
This was my 1st purchase via arachnoboards and it was superb.1st off Tom cares about T's. Due to the weather in my area, he held off on shipping, which was absolutely the correct thing to do. Once i did receive the T's, they were packaged up perfectly. Not only that, he also sent me a freebie which i truly appreciate. Oops...I'm ahead of myself...Tom was very patient with me and all my questions. Which for a newbie like myself, if he would have been rude. it could very well have discourage me from this hobby. Instead he did the opposite and i thank him for that.

I messaged Tom about buying an A. chalcodes on Sunday and arrived at my door before the end of the week. Very fast to respond and very good prices. Packaging was great (styrofoam, heat pack, bubble wrap, etc)

Would definitely recommend
