My 4 new Ts have been dispatched today from Poland but so have my new containers to house some of my larger slings. The containers are coming from just over 200 miles away by courier whereas the Ts will be travelling over 1000 miles in the post.

I'm betting on the Ts arriving first :)

haha be typical the ts come first. It would be in my case anyways lol

That was my thought :). At least I have the containers ready for the new guys.
How's your little G. rosea doing, the one off eBay? Mine's doing great, eating well and moulted a few weeks ago.

My money is on Ts first. The other sounds as though just within the UK and we are RUBBISH at sending anything fast. I have 3 due tomorrow. B. Emelia, GBB and G. Pulchra.

If they're anything like the Containerstore here in the states you'll get the Ts a week (or in my case a month) or so before the containers. I ended up doing a rush order on amazon for amac boxes to get them here before the Ts. Containerstore items are still on backlog so who knows when they'll arrive. Wish i could just cancel them but i need the 4x4x5 containers for the tiny slings to upgrade into. Maybe by the time they molt up and get 1" or so i'll have the amac boxes i ordered over a month ago :mad:

Aww, lovely especially the GBB.

My containers were dispatched at 4.23pm yesterday by Bugzarre, 4 minutes later My Hermes sent me a tracking number but now at 5.45pm they still haven't moved. I just hope my Ts are fairing better.

The containers are finally on their way and I'm hoping that the Ts will arrive tomorrow or Friday so there is a chance they may arrive on the same day after all.

@Steve123 I am in the UK and we have open borders with all EU countries including Poland. There are no import fees or customs charges here.

@Nicolas C Mine shipped on Monday too. Temperatures here have been above freezing all week although we had snow on Wednesday. I have containers ready for the new Ts, the new containers are for rehousing.
