They will ship me a horse but not a spider!?! That's just crazy. I note they say no live insects but spiders aren't insects. Arguing that with a clerk is a loser though. I think I see the loophole. They ship plants and plants often have insects (and spiders) on them. I will instruct my Brazilian connection, Julio, to send me a small Bougainvillea and drop the wandering spider in with it.
Unless it escapes during transit and causes the driver an unfortunate reaction no one will be the wiser.
Just tell them you’re going to *eat* the spider.
They have an exception for shipping “food” critters.
