I do customer service for a company that does alot of shipping via usps. Our 'lost shipment' policy for anything delivered usps is 30 days cause they have a tendancy to find these packages within the 30 day time frame.

Probably Robc. Hopefully your T will show up O.K. CC. We'll all keep our fingers crossed for ya bud. Keep us informed on any developements.

Just curious will USPS or any of the shipping companies refund the value of the package if it was lost? I think it's a gray area with USPS and shipping arachnids. I see many stores list UPS as a legal way to ship Ts but it's clearly stated on their web site that it's prohibited.

That would depend on if insurance was placed on the package. Then you'd have to provide proof of value, like an invoice. However, if they knew what was in the package you definately won't get a refund, and will probably be in big trouble for shipping prohibited items. It's not a gray area with USPS either.

I had the usps destroy a box a cpl of versi slings were in they were packed in a clear vial with straws inside the vial you could see the spiders by looking in the vial. They repackaged the vial in a padded envelope along with an apology letter. So I don't know how if this is a commonly known policy or I just got lucky.

I had 2 S. heros Cast. centipedes and a 3 1/2 " G. aureostriata lost in the mail for 15 days and the arrived alive keep your hopes up.

Glad to hear that she made it home ALIVE! :clap:

Now that she's molted, you should treat her (and yourself) by finding her a mate!

lol i have 5 girls ready for a male but my male is not mature yet im looking for one

I have officially gained 3 grey hairs.
(my official rant)
All the while the package was sitting at the destination PO but because someone didn't "scan" it when it left my PO, the package sat at the destination PO on a shelf. Forget the fact that there is a "to" and "from" address on the box from which someone could have sent out notification or god forbid even deliver it. But because it wasn't scanned it just sits...no one noticing it's a Express mail package. What did USPS do before scanners? Don't people there just read things anymore?

This is my first major problem after using USPS for a long time so I'm going to chalk it up to human incompetence.
:wall:

Looking at the picture you posted your 5 females don't have to wait...

 

[violentblossom]

Hey, this is great! I'm happy she's alive and well, I was quite worried that she wouldn't be.

 

[Jmugleston]

Looking at the picture you posted your 5 females don't have to wait...

I agree with the quoted post. That female looks a lot like a mature male from the pic you provided. Maybe it's a trick with the angle, but those pedipalps appear to have emboli at the distal ends.

I have to agree. I didn't notice at first because it wasn't really the main topic, but after seeing these posts, then going back for a second look, they sure do look like emboli.

 

[J.huff23]

I just saw it after you guys pointed it out! It definitly looks like a mature male to me too.

And is he missing a leg?

 

[seanbond]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
start breeding them now!
