Message: <blockquote data-quote="kormath" data-source="post: 66079" data-attributes="member: 4199">I must be lucky.  I've only ordered Ts in the winter as i started my collection in November last year.  I've ordered from Jamies, KTBG and Anastasia without any issues so far.  Even the accidental B. Albo order that took 7 days in the USPS to get to me was fine.  I check weather and order when there's supposed to be a warm spell (30-40F temps).  And have had the sudden weather change.  Monday it was 42 here, Tuesday was 37 for the high, but yesterday when the H. triseriatus and the G. pulchripes arrived it had dropped from the advertised 35 high to an 18 high.  I always unbox the spiders and let them sit in the vials on the counter though while my son and i prep the enclosures so they can acclimate.  I've tried building the enclosure in advance but find myself changing things over and over waiting for it to arrive lol. Easier to do it when they get here for me.</blockquote>
