This is my first-time ordering from Joe Rossi, and it will not be the last. This was hands down the best interaction I have ever had with an order. Outstanding selection, communication was fantastic, shipping was insanely fast. When FedEx had a hiccup and said it would take 3 days for the slings to arrive, I was immediately notified that they were trying to fix it from their end. Everything turned out all right and the slings arrived promptly and in perfect health. Overall, this was pleasant experience and will definitely be ordering from Joe again. Thanks again.

Joe was so nice and patient with me as I hem and hawed about what I really wanted. He spent lots of time answering all my questions and even making suggestions. Also my order was sent the very next day, I have never have had that offer with the larger website dealers. He quickly and easily made a lifetime customer out of me. Everyone of my slings were wonderfully priced, carefully packed, healthy and beautiful. I will be going back soon; he's officially the only person I will buy from.

Joe find me that Euathlus sp. yellow!

I can’t remember what order I’m on with Joe. It’s been a handful now. Every order I’m always crazy excited about! He gets things no one else gets. He knows what I like and let’s me know when he’s importing something he knows I’ll like. He uses text messages to communicate which I thought was weird at first but I really like now! It’s faster and easier. He just pays attention to little details that other sellers don’t, like texting me when my package is ready to be picked up at my hub. He obviously really cares about his spiders AND customers. Joes my favorite ☺❤

I just made my first purchase from Joe & everyone arrived safe & secure. Joe answered all questions I had when I was deciding what I wanted, was excellent at communicating, & gave me tracking updates better than Fed Ex did! I would definitely purchase from Joe again.

After looking over Joe’s list of goodies I finally decided to pull the trigger on some new additions to my collection. We arranged a meet for the Pomona reptile super show. I was very happy with the quick communication and quality of my new additions! He went out of his way to make me one happy customer. Looking forward to future transactions. Thanks again Joe!!!

Long time lurker here. I joined these boards for ready access to fantastic suppliers like Mr Rossi. This was my first transaction with the man and will most definitely not be my last. I purchased 0.0.3 Poecilotheria metallica for an early birthday present for myself. Within hours of my first message to him on these boards, we were in direct contact via text for the arrangements (We even had a nice chat on Poecilotheria and their current/future inclusion in the ESA). His price wasn't the cheapest that I had found, but he was able to offer me a package deal that put him in the same neighborhood as the others. I was happy to pay the little bit extra purely for his success rate and the professionalism I have read about in the other reviews. The money was well spent. The metallica were shipped the same day and arrived around 8 am at a shipping center the next day. (Joe managed to send me a text telling me they arrived even before I got the notification from FedEx). I picked the package up after work at 3pm. I was a little concerned with the size of the package, but when I opened it, my thoughts on the matter were set aside. The box looked insulated enough to survive an arctic trip! Even though the heat pack was cool to the touch by that time, a probe thermometer placed between the 0.75" reflective foil foam that lined the box and what appeared to be dense recycled cloth insulation that it was packed with measured 75.9 degrees. Inside were three precious, little vial packed slings, all healthy and alive. Within 48 hours, two have molted and the third has taken a meal. Overall, this whole experience has been enjoyable. From the communication with a dealer as passionate as myself to the hassle free logistics and ultimate acquisition of these healthy little ones. I can't recommend Mr Rossi's products and customer service enough. I look forward to doing business with him again in the very near future.

Thanks,
--Matt

My second order from Joe and nothing short of impressed. Fantastic communicator from pre-order through post order. Very knowledgeable and no matter if you are purchasing one T or ten, Joe gives everyone the same exceptional attention.

I cannot say enough, he is truly one of the best to do business with.

I ended up purchasing four dwarfs, an OBT (RCF), a G. Ihiringi, and he added one freaking AWESOME surprise. They all came beautifully packed, alive and healthy. Amazing specimens. The Gramma is my first true terrestrial and a beauty at that...thank you, Joe!!

  • Super responsive, quick to reply
  • Awesome selection!
  • Quick and secure and legal shipping
  • Just a totally rad guy to buy from
This is my second purchase from Joe, and he yet again hit it out of the park. I bought two Euathlus gold, and he threw in a freebie that I actually didn’t have but was considering getting. He is super easy to communicate with, and is quick to respond and answer any questions you have. He is the epitome of a responsible seller, and I look forward to buying more tarantulas from him in the future.

Pros
  • Excellent selection, friendly service, great presentation, competitive prices, lets you pick your specimen.
Cons
  • Cash only at shows, so bring the dollars
I think I've bought about 1/4 of my spiders from Joe at the local expos. He's always been super nice and friendly from the beginning, when I was a noob getting interested in the hobby and picking up my first tiny slings.

He's always had a great selection of healthy specimens, and is happy to show you them to make sure that you're comfortable with their size and condition before you buy. Every spider I've bought from him has been in excellent health and was/are amazing eaters.

Saturday, I drove down to the Reptilian Nation expo in Del Mar to pick up a Cyriocosmus giganteus he got in for me. He let me choose from a selection of four .5" slings that he had on hand and we chatted for a while before I bought another Cyriocosmus elegans from him, as the specimen I purchased from him in May 2018 matured out male in March this year.

Both slings are doing great, burrowed in their new vials and tucked into a meal already. I'm extremely happy with them and will totally continue to shop with Joe in the future!
Great service and communication

  • Joe is a cool dude. Great customer service, great packaging, and awesome knowledge.
Cons
  • Cons? What kinda question is this? There was no con. Dudes got my respect
Great communication all the way around. I ordered a pair of 3” Dominican Purple and 4 Orphnaecus Philippinus from Joe. Packaged very well.
Just so happened that 2 of the 4 Tangerines ended up being DOA. I reported it to Joe right away, and he offered me a credit on my next purchase.
Well we had agreed that LAG was voided prior to me getting my package due to my shipping needs. I reminded him of the agreement and he went above and beyond that and offered a freebie on my next purchase. Pretty Darn nice fella if you ask me.
A++ kinda guy and I’ll def buy from him again.
Oh and don’t hesitate to ask him a question, he’s on it and will answer back real fast.
