*** A 50% deposit is required with 24 hours of your order to secure and reserve your desired invertebrates. Final balance is due after we receive the import and prior to us shipping your order. All sales are final. No refunds. If you change your mind about your order, the sale is final and you will need to use the funds towards other stock that we have in-stock. We have this policy so we do not order too much of one species and then a customer does not complete their end of the deal with full payment. We like to order only what our customers need and a little bit extra. We reserve the right to substitute species within the shipment if the import comes in a little short on a particular species. Best policy for the customer is to order in higher quantities if you really like a particular species or more.
*** These are wild-caught imports. We will do our best to accomadate requests for sexing, but there are no 100% guarantees for imports. With this in mind, order in higher quantities to assure better chances of getting the sexing you want.
*** Being wild-caught imports, there will be some occasional individuals that might have missing legs, scuffy-looking appearances, etc. These are cosmetic challenges that will be fixed on their next molt or two molts. WC imports are guaranteed for 24 hours after you receive them. As usual, We will do our best to select you good inverts, but right up front, We want you to know the difference in getting wild-caught imports v.s. captive-born stock. There are less guarantees on WC imports. With all that said, We will select you the best of the import though.
*** Copy and paste from the list below and email your order to: sales@tarantulaspiders.com . Provide your full name, shipping address and phone #.
*** VERY IMPORTANT: The list below is NOT for trade or use of credit. It is for cash payment only. (IF these species show up on my monthly, regular price list, then they can be for trade or use of your credit.)
