My transaction with Joe was great! He went above and beyond with his communication and even sent me some photos of the albopilosus I was ordering. His packing was great and the T arrived safe and sound. Would definitely order from Joe again!
I’m back! The 100 miles away customer who bought T. stirmi and N. incei from Joe. This time I bought 2 Pokies! Poecilotheria metallica and rufilata. They’re both great sizes, specially the rufilata. This time I didn’t get any freebie but he was able to get me a really good deal on both T’s, not to mention, he gave me the T’s on a temporary plastic container that I can store both T’s temporarily til they add up some size. Poecilotheria rufilata picture attached.
Thanks Joe!
After my first transaction went so smoothly with Joe, I decided to reach out to him, looking for something interesting and larger. He ended up giving me two awesome Xenesthis options, and went with the X.immanis. Once again, he had my order in the mail as soon as humanly possible, communicating every step along the way. The specimen I received arrived in perfect condition, well packed and hungry. I really can't say enough good things about doing business with Joe. He's awesome.
Quick communication
Friendly
Great prices
Very knowledgeable
Enjoys what he does
Cons
None!
Very quick with replies super easy to work with! Cuts straight to the chase,and I liked that! Beyond friendly and even met me super close to my place to bring the T’s it was a pleasure trading/buying
Today was my 3rd time I purchased from Joe. Got 3 gorgeous rare tarantulas. I'm glad I found him
Huge variety, healthy animals, great attitude. Very trustful guy. I'm just one super happy customer. Will definitely contact him first when i will look for new species.
Thanks Joe!
Packed well with heat pack and insulation due to the cold.
Cons
None.
Joe sent me a 7.5" P. Regalis and a 6" P. Metallica. There was some concern due to the cold both where he is (California) and where I am (Florida) but he timed everything right so the T's arrived perfectly fine. And both are GORGEOUS. I would definitely buy from them again.
Large selection, good packaging and good communication throughout the entire process.
Cons
None
My first order with Joe wasn't without it's share of problems but ultimately I walked away from the transaction a satisfied customer. I ordered an H. schmidti and upon shipping FedEx was unable/unwilling to honor their overnight shipping policy and the package arrived a day later than it was supposed to. Even though it was a "hold for pick-up" this extra day delay coupled with the very cold temperatures resulted in me getting a sling that died in transit to me. Since it wasn't delivered the next day, the LAG was void and I was out a good chunk of change. Joe and I communicated through the whole process and he suggested a compromise. If I ordered another species again, he would send me another H. schmidti sling as a "freebie" so ultimately I would only be out the initial shipping charges. So I took him up on his offer and ordered an H. albostriatum. This time both slings arrived on time as well as alive and well. In the end I spent a little more than I had intended but I ended up with two very cool slings. In light of this, I would definitely recommend Joe to other potential buyers. Great communication and packaging.
unable to teleport spiders directly to my home with magic
I told myself that I would not buy any more spiders for a while, but I saw my friend Laila review Joe and I got an itch.
Anyway, I saw that he had a species that I've had my eye on for a while and another species that I adore but I haven't seen available often, so I reached out to Joe to ask about them. Joe was nice as usual and happy to show the specimens to me and check on them to make sure they were all in good shape. I sent him money and arranged to meet up with him this past weekend.
We exchanged goods and services in a parking lot like usual, which feels hilariously like a drug handoff. It was nice to see him and chat for a while before I headed back home, though.
My babies are healthy and adorable! Joe always shows you the specimens before you take them and makes sure that you see they are healthy, which I appreciate. I can't wait to watch these little guys grow!
I'm always nervous buying from a seller for the first time, but Joe made it a very simple process with great communication and fast turnaround. His available list is incredible and I was able to find a species I've been looking for over a year! Colorado can have some gnarly weather this time of year, but the box arrived in great condition and the heat pack was still warm. He'll get my business again for sure. Thanks!
You will not go wrong dealing with Joe!
Hes got a huge selection of Ts to choose from and he will respond to your messages quickly. I just did a local pick up with him and he was awesome to talk to about tarantulas and the hobby itself because he’s got so much knowledge on the subject. Not only did I get all three Ts that I asked for in great condition, but he also gave me a freebie!
This is definitely the man to go to if you’re interested in purchasing tarantulas.
Joe was with me every step of the way, constant communication and updates. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Great service, Great selection, Great Prices. I Purchased 3 slings, a Caribena versicolor, a Ephebopus cyanognathus, and a Ephebopus rufescens. they were all in tip top shape when I got them home. Will Purchase From again as sooon as my wife let's me
I’ve come back to Joe again & again. I can’t stress enough what a great guy he is. My Ts have always been packed perfectly. Joe is flexible about meeting times, texts me back immediately, and and is consistently the best dealer I’ve worked with.
Answered all questions and the quality of the Ts were great. All arrived safe and alive.
Cons
None
Purchased a Chilean blue tiger from Joe. He was extremely professional and helpful. No issues, a seamless purchase. Would definitely buy from Joe again.
The prices were great. Joe's communication was fantastic. My tarantulas were in great shape.
Cons
None. It was a perfect experience.
I contacted Joe about the P. auratus slings he had listed. and he got back to me super fast. His communication through the entire transaction was excellent; he even took the time to reach out when FedEx delayed the delivery of my package (I've NEVER had a dealer do that before!). My new acquisitions arrived safe and sound, looking active, plump and healthy. The packing was perfect, as evidenced by the fact that my packaged was stuck overnight in the snowy midwest, and they STILL arrived perfectly fine. I'd do business with Joe again in a heartbeat!
Everything came just as described and was packaged very nicely. Bought a P. metallica and B. emilia and both came healthy and safe right on time. Communication was great. Definitely recommend!
I've lost track of how many tarantulas I've purchased from Joe Rossi recently - I think this is the 4th or 5th order since the start of the year. Each time it has been an absolute pleasure to deal with Joe. He's got an amazing selection of spiderlings, from common hobby staples to the newest species available, all of which are at competitive and fair prices. Joe is easy to get in touch with, quick to provide any info you need, and makes the entire process of ordering live tarantulas simple and enjoyable. As always, I can't recommend Joe highly enough, and would be more than happy to answer any specific questions that anybody may have. Thanks for everything, Joe!
