With that coloration and those proportions, I am leaning towards Dysdera crocata, but some sac spiders look pretty similar when looking at the shape and color of the abdomen and legs. Not so much in the chelicerae, where woodlouse spiders are pretty distinct. Where did the shipment originate?

I'm faster, how do you tell if it is a brown recluse? I live in Marietta ga and I've seen a couple spiders in my basement that look like the recluse. Scares me

Six eyes arranged in pairs, with one pair in front and a pair on either side.
A dark violin shape on the cephalothorax.
Uniformly light-colored legs - no stripes, no bands
Uniformly colored abdomen which can vary from cream to dark brown depending on what it has eaten, however, it will never have two colors of pigment at the same time. (The little discoloration on the spider above left is the heart which can be seen through the thin skin.)
No spines on the legs, only fine hairs
Recluses make small retreat webs behind objects, never out in the open.
It is about 3/8 of an inch in body length.

something unique about this one would be the white at the base of its leg joints. Not seen in alot of sac spiders. Should help with species ID.
