Default tarantula-shop?

my sis and i are interested in buying slings from the tarantula shop, but it doesnt say on the site how much postage is, or where they are situated.

When you choose your spider and go to the pay screen it gives you postage options there....

so do you recommend them overall? they always arrive safely and healthly? Do they usually update their site reguarly?

They said there may be delays through jan and feb due to cold weather but they are taking orders again from monday.

They do goliath slings there for 15quid, but they are out of stock.

Hi,

You will have NO problems dealing with Lee at Spider shop and you'll find that he is a recommeded dealer on all the main tarantula forums.

But please bear in mind that he WONT risk sending livestock when temperatures are too low. Which is common sense but some customers get concerned or aggrieved when their delivery is delayed. This is for the Spiders sake.

Good Luck with whatever you buy.

Regards

Izan

thanks. well, neither shop have any goliath slings for sale anyway, except tarantula shop has a salmon pink sling that my sis might order.
really want a goliath
found ths other adult for 60quid with viv. but its too far for the owner to deliver and i cant pick up, plus i havnt got thew money at mo.
she could be posted but not with the viv.
The further away a T has to come in the post the longer it'll take wont it even though its SD.

Why the big rush, wait for people to get some Blondi or Apophysis slings in, plus the BTS is just round the corner, there were Blondi slings for like £3 - £4 there last time round, Apophysis juvs for £15.
