My homework tonight is to do an Epic Review of Phil at the Spider House, so here it is people:

The T's
Received 5 beautiful t's from him (B boehmi, E campestratus, N chromatus, G pulchra, B hamorri). Some of which I've wanted for a long time. Probably some of the best looking T's I've received. They were actually a fair bit bigger than expected too. Overjoyed and well aware that if I'd purchased these from one of the big online dealers, I'd have paid quite a bit more.

Packing
5*
So well packed, not only did they survive a South Wales valley wintry night, but could probably have lived through a nuclear bomb or even coped with the vacuum of space. They were all extremely lively coming out of the shipping containers, which shows they did not get cold, thanks to the packing which included a heat pack and insulated lining.

Communication
5* can't fault Phil on that! He'll get straight back to you if you have questions. If you're crap with remembering dates then rest assured Phil won't let you forget you have tarantulas coming! He'll give you plenty of warning prior and on the day he sends the package. Plus tracking info. I was more aware of my T's location than I was for some of my nearest and dearest lol

Banter
5*
Phil is very easy to get along with and has a great sense of humour so its always fun and a pleasure to deal with him.

Really, really happy with my purchases and looking forward to the next time I can order from Phil. It's always exciting to see what he has for sale.
ha ha....I asked for an epic review and that is certainly what I got! Wow, I am actually blushing ;)
Thank you for your kind words. they do mean a lot to me and I am pleased that you are happy with the large package and your new furry friends.
It was a pleasure as always. Thanks hun x

Received one of my highly wanted tarantulas yesterday a OBT from Phil boxed awesomely nice and warm still after 30hours in the box nice damp tissue. And an healthy tarantula who ironically enough was full of bolty energy when removed from transport tub lol. Was also nice to have a message on a card from Phil in the box warning me to be careful and a message checking the tarantula had arrived safely. Below pictures of the gorgeous specimen and I will be buying more once I have money too do so lol. Cheers @Phil.

After rehouse


Morning after already some awesome webbing

Thanks for your comments and great pictures of your new furry friends. Hoping the versi does not suffer any ill effect and will naturally be on stand by to help and support in any way I can.

Hey all,

So I've got my Arizona blonde from @Phil Great seller, really good communication and has given me a ton of advice.

I've done an unboxing video which is below, note the contents were cold but this wasnt down to the packaging as the postman had carried it down the street in the pouring rain. Box was wet through.

Shes doing great and already has eaten. Thanks again phil

10/10

Hi Everyone
Just a quick note on much-respected member here - @Phil . This last week I bought some slings from Phil and I would like to say after all my years in the hobby Phil is definitely the most knowledgable and obliging. A really top service even with Royal Mail trying to glitch it up. Even then, Phil's main concern was for the wellbeing of the animals. Top seller, top bloke.
