Tarantula on ebay uk

[Wayne harper]

Just wondering if anyone from the UK has ordered a chilli rosea from an eBay seller by the name repti post shop? I've just seen a sling for £5.50 delivered I cannot believe he is able to post them for that price. If I order one am I going to be expecting a squashed ex spiderling

I am not sure what shipping prices are in the UK, but here in the US it is about $40 to over night a tarantula. Act least thats the price I have seen on most sites. I would not order it with shipping that low, could be a scam.

@Wayne harper Kaz has one - see her thread http://www.tarantulaforum.com/threads/kazs-collection.6470/#post-55926 post 7 and I have one on order.

Cheers for that @Enn49 he has 100% good feed back which is normally good. I'm just worried it's going to get sent first class and spend days bouncing around our postal service.
I still have to persuade my wife another t is a good idea she thinks 5 is enough

@Wayne harper Kaz had a word with him about the packing so I'm hoping he'll have improved that. I've had Ts take 9 days to arrive from Poland and they've been fine.
Tell your wife you can never have enough Ts, this one will be my 43rd

Fingers crossed it comes ok. I tried that she says £150 since August is too much money on T's me and my boys strongly disagree My wanted list is probably ove 40 now.

More reason to get the rosea off EBay, you can't get much cheaper than that lol.

@Enn49 can I ask you a quick question as you live close to me. What do you do to keep all your tarantulas warm enough now winters coming?

@Enn49 can I ask you a quick question as you live close to me. What do you do to keep all your tarantulas warm enough now winters coming?

I keep all of my Ts in vivariums to protect them from my cats. I have 5 ExoTerras that share one heat mat, 4 of them have a T in each and the 5th contains all the sling containers. The others are in 2 wooden vivariums that have a heatmat on the back. All heat mats have a thermostat on them so they can't overheat.

Thank you @Enn49 I have a heat mat shared by my mm curly hair and sub adult b smithi then my now 3 slings have another mat. Both running off thermostats

I ordered one last Saturday. it was sent out on the Monday and received It Wednesday. Was abit poorly packaged. Came in a tub with abit of fibre on the bottom and a piece of tissue on top that the sling was wrapped in. Had gotten out by the time I opened it. Seems a really healthy lively little thing tho!! Messaged the seller he said thanks for letting me know. Noticed he raised postage to £2 when originally it was £1.50 so hopefully he's done this to improve packing them.!! All the best!! Keep us updated : )

Thank you @kaz for the info it seems to good an offer to miss I need to persuade the wife another is a good idea.
Sorry forgot to ask was it delivered signed for or normal 1st class post

 

[kaz]

oh haha didn't realize Enn49 done a real nice Job of already informing you. Haha nice one Enn49!!!

 

[kaz]

I know it was to good a offer for me to ignore. Unfortunately I cant be much further help. IV been receiving tones of mail for Christmas and was only when I opened it I realised what it was. Besides my postman always leaves signed for packages in my hallway as my door is left slightly open!! I remember SD on the label not sure if that's second day!! Haha just a guess or signed delivery, but like I say my postmans naughty really!!!

 

[Wayne harper]

Ok thank you any way @kaz.
