Received a gorgeous P. sazimai and B. albopilosum sling from Phil today. Can't praise him enough really. His spiders always arrive well packaged, in robust, great health and he is on point with communication and aftercare is amazing. In fact, he has become a 'spider friend' and my go to when I want a new tarantula. I know there are other great sellers on this forum but I can only speak for Phil and I can't recommend him enough. Definitely 5 gold stars from me (again!!)
Thanks Jess. Happy to be your 'spider friend' too.

Thank you @Konstantin for your feedback. It was really nice to see you again following our initial talk about Ts for couple of hours. :)

Being local always helps as both people get a feel for the right kind of T for their needs and help each other with care needs etc and to prefer to grow a group of spider friends.

Thanks again for your comments, I really do appreciate it.

My homework tonight is to do an Epic Review of Phil at the Spider House, so here it is people:

The T's
Received 5 beautiful t's from him (B boehmi, E campestratus, N chromatus, G pulchra, B hamorri). Some of which I've wanted for a long time. Probably some of the best looking T's I've received. They were actually a fair bit bigger than expected too. Overjoyed and well aware that if I'd purchased these from one of the big online dealers, I'd have paid quite a bit more.

Packing
5*
So well packed, not only did they survive a South Wales valley wintry night, but could probably have lived through a nuclear bomb or even coped with the vacuum of space. They were all extremely lively coming out of the shipping containers, which shows they did not get cold, thanks to the packing which included a heat pack and insulated lining.

Communication
5* can't fault Phil on that! He'll get straight back to you if you have questions. If you're crap with remembering dates then rest assured Phil won't let you forget you have tarantulas coming! He'll give you plenty of warning prior and on the day he sends the package. Plus tracking info. I was more aware of my T's location than I was for some of my nearest and dearest lol

Banter
5*
Phil is very easy to get along with and has a great sense of humour so its always fun and a pleasure to deal with him.

Really, really happy with my purchases and looking forward to the next time I can order from Phil. It's always exciting to see what he has for sale.
