This is actually my second time buying from Joe, and the experience was just as good as the last time. When I messaged him about the spiders I wanted, he got back to me within the hour and even sent pics of the spiders next to a ruler for accurate sizing. His communication was excellent, and my order was shipped immediately. Although FedEx lost my box for a day (their fault, not his), the spiders arrived safe, sound, and lively due to the excellent packing job. Joe communicated with me throughout the whole process, so I never had any worries. The prices were fantastic and the slings are doing great. I will definitely be buying from him again in the future.
Mr. Rossi was amazingly prompt and helpful, not only helping me find a FedEx location, but also sending out my package same day. I received it today, and both slings are perfectly fine and healthy! I super appreciate his patience with me, as this was my first time ordering spiders. I'll definitely be buying from him in the future.
Quick response times/answered all my questions and concerns quickly
Healthy specimens upon arrival
Price matches other sellers(as long as they have all the same species your looking to buy)
Great packaging/animals were very secure
Cons
None
First time buying from joe and it was a breeze, certainly wont be my last. He responded to my inquiry super fast and had my Ts on the way within 24 hours of payment, they arrived super healthy and full of life. He seemed to have any species you could want readily available at super decent prices, I couldnt find a stirmi cheaper anywhere. I am definitely planning on becoming a repeat customer, can't wait to see what he has available in the future. Thanks again Joe!
He has an excellent review from me. A true professional amongst many.
Cons
None to speak of
Joe is a courties, and very helpful person. His spiders are well kept and healthy. His response time is very good. He has done what he said he was going to do. All in all I would buy from him again and will buy again.
-Fast shipping
-Great communication
-Huge variety of species to select from
Cons
-A tad bit on the pricey side, but still reasonable
Super fast shipping and amazing communication. Was shipped the same day I ordered and arrived the next morning. Having the FedEx hold to pick up was great. Didn't have to make sure I was waiting around for the package to be delivered. I purchased five different species and ended up with five Ts exactly as they were described, plus a sixth as a freebie! Will definitely be looking at Joe's stock first from now on. Tons of variety.
Amazing variety, really exceptional communication, great packaging and insulation, very thoughtful about shipping method and weather reports.
Cons
This isn't a con but a suggestion, and it may not be practicable, depending upon how fast his stock changes. It would be very nice to have a ballpark size on slings as part of their descriptions. However, when I inquired about this in preparation to receive my slings, Joe was very quick to let me know exactly what sizes to expect, and he was completely accurate.
Joe was thoughtful and professional in his dealings with me, and he even donated a sling for a student science project. The slings arrived well protected and lively, exactly the size that Joe describe to me so that the habitats I prepared were correctly sized. This is a huge help. He also was extra diligent in terms of proper packaging for the weather the slings might be in countering in their travels, and he diligently followed their progress through the FedEx system until they arrived safely. I will definitely bring him my business again.
I would highly recommend anyone purchase from Mr. Rossi who are willing to pay a little extra to have everything done right, and to get species that are just not stocked elsewhere. The packaging was picture perfect, and he communicated with me throughout the whole process. In terms of the discount I got for hitting a certain threshold, it would have been more exciting to get a really cool freebie, but that's a preference thing on my part. Overall, the experience was excellent and I am very happy!
This was my first purchase from Joe and I would gladly order from him again. He's got a great selection and as all the other reviews say, he's very friendly, knowledgable, and an excellent communicator. I would recommend him to anybody for their next order!
His communication is on point and follows up with the tracking of the packages.
Fedex held the package an extra day and cooked a few of the tarantulas unfortunately. Joe replaced them on his own accord, even though the circumstances of the DOA were not due to neglect on his end.
I would recommend any buyer to purchase from this dealer. Thanks again Joe and I look forward to our next transactions.
Allllll the pros! Joe has been consistently great, and always has a great selection
Cons

This is my second time buying from Joe and he’s been really great with communication, makes himself available for any questions, ships fast, and is all around pleasant to deal with. His packaging and selection are also exceptional. I will definitely buy from him again.
I ordered 4 tarantulas from Joe Rossi on Friday 4/17/20. He shipped immediately on Monday and they came on Tuesday (4/21/20). The packaging was great: the spiders were comfortable and compact in tissue that was very easy to unravel without harming them. They came with a heat pack that was still warm when it arrived. All Ts arrived healthy and good size, and both freebies were super amazing and things I did not yet have in my collection! He responded quickly and informatively to every one of my questions and comments, and provided pictures of the Ts with measurements which I found very helpful and thoughtful.
I would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone who is interested in purchasing a T. Way better experience than purchasing from an online retail store. This was my first time ordering from an independent breeder and I will definitely be ordering again and recommend everyone to do so as well.
I’ve purchased from Joe multiple times. I cannot say enough about his selection and the health and quality of what he sells. Whenever I am looking for another tarantula he’s the first person I check with.
in addition he is super knowledgeable and is quick to offer suggestions or advice regarding husbandry.
I’ve never had a problem and I’m at the point where I would purchase sight unseen from him.
Joe was an awesome person to work with. Very good prices, and specimen quality is top notch. I will continue to get my Tarantulas from him and would highly recommend him.
Joe is a great person to purchase high quality inverts from. After a little haggling, he hooked me up with an awesome deal on some rare jumping spiders. I fully recommend him and I will purchase from him again.
Well let me first start off by saying this wasn’t my first purchase from Joe and it certainly won’t be the last. Joe is a true professional and has a great selection of T’s to choose from. This particular transaction had great communication and both T’s arrived safely and on time too! Don’t hesitate to purchase from Joe!
This is the third time I've made a purchase from Joe. As always, he is quick to communicate and willing to make local pick up arrangements. Flawless transaction. If he sold cars, houses, and insurances, I'd buy those from him as well.
Been looking for this guy finally found him Joe rossi does clean business has good stuff cheap prices no hassle drove in to Perris good food got my t road trip dude came out just as stout as the tarantulas all chest and arms def deal with him again his selection is nice landed two poecilotheria subfusca highlands total unicorn species for me love it
I received 6 new species and it was an overall great experience. Communication was amazing! Answered texts very promptly and when there was a slight delay in shipping (FedEx fault, not Joe’s) Joe was in constant communication and provided updates throughout the whole process. Everyone arrived safe and healthy and they were packaged very professionally. Will definitely buy again and recommend to others!
I had heard great things about Joe, went to check out his selection and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of species, uncommon ones I don't see with other breeders often, if at all. The prices were great, I picked up 2 slings that arrived healthy, despite a slight delay entirely because of FedEx. I purchased from him on Tuesday afternoon and had my spiders in hand 2 days later, which is unbelievably fast. I will be checking his updated lists on a fairly frequent basis from now on and absolutely plan on doing more business with him. I cannot recommend Joe enough
