Message: <blockquote data-quote="kormath" data-source="post: 111957" data-attributes="member: 4199">just placed an order from Jamie's on Monday, it arrived today.  Packaging was sub par.  I wish i would have stopped to take pics but i was skipping out of work to put the T and feeders in their respective enclosures and was in a rush <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Heatpack was in the middle of the box, up against the enclosure and roaches with no barrier between.  Not sure if the spider's vial was against the heat pack also, they had shipping peanuts to pack it all in instead of newspaper.  When i removed the heat pack the peanuts tumbled into the space along with the vial.Vial was poorly packed also.  1 piece of moistened paper towel inside the vial.  the bottom end was just folded over, and the top end bunched up together to make the "plug".  this left very little to no padding around the sides and lots of room for the T inside to tumble around.  Shipper on the package wasn't Jamie either, all my previous purchases came from her, so that was a little disconcerting. But, the T arrived safe and energetic.  he scrambled out of the vial onto my son's hand, then raised his butt up in the defensive pose.  Quite entertaining <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />  all the roaches were alive as well.  I'm going to email Jamie and let her know about the packing.  maybe she got someone new to help or something?</blockquote>
