Tom was looking to get rid of a couple males he had and I asked for one. He was all ready to ship and I was heading out of town and I asked if he could delay shipping he had no issues with it and was ready to ship when I was. Would definitely deal with again awesome seller.

Tom is probably my favorite western US bug dealer. He always seems to have the best stock for the best price. You won’t regret giving him your business!

  • packaged great!, freebies, healthy animals, replies to messages quickly, ships fast, overall great to purchase from
Cons

I purchased several scorpions from him. Everything was shipped very well. There was zero chance of anything getting out of its shipping container. All the scorpions came in looking great and they started feeding as soon as I put them in their new habitats. The freebies were awesome too! This was a great transaction and I will not hesitate to recommend to others and to purchase from again!

  • Packaging Communication Healthy animals
Cons

First of all, I've never seen packaging as detailed as Tom's. He packaged his Ts the best I've ever seen. I was a little taken back by it at 1st because it's literally the MOST well packaged I've ever gotten my Ts (and I've gotten Ts from quite a few awesome ppl).
All 3 or my Aphonopelma iodii (plural of iodius?), albo Nicaraguan, and my freebie scorpling were super cute and very healthy!

10/10, would recommend ^-^

Terrific Seller! I ended up purchasing 3 female Chalcodes and a pair of scorpions from AZ Tom. He was patient answering my questions and showed tremendous amount of care in the packaging. I was on business travel and he was able to hold my order until I returned.

I will absolutely purchase from AZ Tom again!

Pros
  • Awesome deal, packaged extremely well, fast shipping, and most importantly very high quality scorpions!
Cons
  • I found out about him too late in the year and now I have to wait till spring to order more But that just means he cares about what he is doing.
I would definitely recommend, will definitely purchase again from this dealer. Packaging was way better than every big online dealer I've bought from. So thankful that someone recommend him and this board to me! 1st class!

Pros
  • PACKAGING!!! I thought I was receiving fancy steaks or something, I couldn't believe the attention to properly packing. This wasn't just a lot of tape, my critters came paper towel wrapped in their own containers and then bubble wrapped and sealed inside a Styrofoam box and sealed in cardboard. Communication was always fast and on point, very friendly person to deal with!
Cons
  • Absolutely none.
All in all a very smooth purchase with easy communication and payment. Everything was as advertised, prices were very good, and the freebies were a big plus!

Pros
  • Great Prices Great Service and Great Animals
My transaction with Tom was nothing but top notch! To start, his pricing is some of the best I've seen around the boards and his communication is consistent and very reliable. Tom himself is very knowledgeable and you can tell he really cares about the animals he's giving you. Packing was very secure and kept my Tarantula and Scorpion warm and they came from Arizona all the way to Michigan right now in the fall with no heat pack! They arrived beautifully and healthy and ready to go!!! Definitely don't hesitate to do business with Tom! A+ 100% Perfection!
Oh yea, he's so generous the scorpion was a freebie! What a guy :)

Decided to finally pick myself up an A. chalcodes and after looking around I decided to pick one up from Tom since he also had some scorpions as well. Price was really good and Packaging was excellent. Tom also threw in freebie scorps as well...quite a few actually. Would definitely purchase from him again in the future. Thanks.

Tom was quick to respond to my messages and made the transaction very fast and easy. When I opened the box, I noticed the great packing setup, and the A. chalcodes and H. arizonensis seemed to be pretty happy with it also. They crawled into their enclosures already looking well-fed and healthy. I also got a couple extra surprise freebies. I would definitely order from him again. Thanks again!

  • Reasonable price and shipping Puts animal's well-being first
It was a pleasure to do business with Tom and "Luke Fuzzybottom," the MM Aphonopelma chalcodes I purchased from him is an absolute joy! :happy: (My AF A. chalcodes also gives 5 stars! :kiss:;))

Shipping was very reasonable and packaging was excellent. The tarantula arrived in excellent health and didn't even seem to have been stressed by his journey.

Thank you again!!!
