POSITIVE
Synopsis
Stephen and Guy Tansley were both selling what at the time was being called "Paraphysa pulchrimiklassi" or possibly a "Homeomma sp." spiderlings. Both did a good job of explaining the identity of these spiderlings to the best of their knowledge, with pictures of the adult spider - a handsome blue-grey beast.
As I bought from Guy recently, I decided to put some cash Stephen's way. I ordered 4 "Homeomma sp." and he sent me...14! All were healthy and exceedingly small.
Good Points
Stephen replied promptly and politely to all my emails.
The spiders arrived very well packed, which was important given the extremely cold weather.
I received 14 spiders - ten freebies is a fantastic amount.
The price was more than reasonable, each spiderling working out at under a pound.
Stephen allowed me to choose my preferred method of postage - many UK sellers will not let you do this, insisting on expensive Special Delivery.
Bad Points
Not really - if I was going to be fussy then I might not have had room for the extra spiders he sent. But that's not even a point, just a passing comment.
