Tartan Tarantulas might be worth checking out, too I hear.

I've had good experiences with Tarantulas Bristol and the Spider Shop, both online stores based in the UK.
If you haven't already you might want to join the European sub forum by clicking join groups on your profile page. It isn't terribly active but there are some threads with information on other online shops which I haven't tried personally.

Would anyone be kind enough to recommend the best place to purchase T's in the UK?
or anywhere i would be able to get them shipped overnight.
I have only ever bought my T's from a trusted pet shop but they are very far away to travel home with the T/T's so i am looking into the best place to get them sent to me from.
Any recommendations would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Nicola

....you could always try Preloved or Gumtree.... I have obtained my 5 out of 6 T's this way - You get both breeders and private sellers this way.

Plus, you can place a free advert for a specific species you are after - I placed a 'wanted' ad for a adult female GBB and I got several replies. The guy I bought her from lived local to me, so I collected her in person, and he gave me a sub-adult B. vagans as a freebee!!
