My female GBB just produced 182 slings. I just fed them all for the first time yesterday. The feeding response at that size and age is amazing!
I've been trying to learn how best to ship them out, and your video was helpful. I have also received tiny slings in those same type of vials, but seeing how the box was packed and cushioned helped me a lot. I still have the vials. I think it was CaseyK. that sent me 10 G. pulchra in that type of vial a year ago. I had no problems either.
Did you have them overnighted? Feel free to decline to answer, but what did shipping cost, and what did you pay for the slings?

I have yet to see 2 different sellers pack up tarantulas the same way, but they all got to me very well.
What price are GBB slings going for nowadays? Just curious.

I've gotten some the same way usually in vials and the T wrapped in paper but never this way. For 5 around $30 each.

My sling was $45.00 from Fear Not Tarantulas.

That's a fairly normal price, though I often see people try to charge up to $60 for a sling.
If I recall, @SkittleBunny had a unique method for packing (there was a post about it on the other forum I think).
@Austin S. Is an expert when it comes to packing in my opinion.
I need to get another GBB or 5.
