Just got a decent sized order from Joe. This is one of the smoothest transactions I've ever had. Great guy to deal with and he has an awesome selection. Would definitely recommend. The shipping was incredibly fast and the Ts were healthy.

Pros
  • Awesome selection of sp., great communication, great packaging, good pricing!
Cons
  • None
Joe was great with communication, and his selection of species is amazing, there were so many to choose from! I was searching for several species of Avicularia/Aviculariinae, 6 of which I was able to obtain from him, and one was a freebie. Packaging was great, and all slings arrived in good health, coming from California to Pennsylvania. I will certainly do business with him in the future!

Hi everyone,
We have a dedicated group started on Facebook called
Too Many Legs.
Joe sent us beautiful lively specimens.
His communication was nothing but amazing.
He even went out of his way to give information on the velvet worms in case it was needed.
He also gave us a free one for the ride.

Can report everything has been amazing.

Pros
  • Joe has good looking slings, great selection, and is exceedingly knowledgable on the various aspects of the invertebrate keeping hobby. I highly recommend buying from him! Thanks again Joe!
Cons
  • Con artist? Where? Not here! Couldn't resist the pun, No cons whatsoever, Great Seller!
I got a Psuedoclaris gigas from Joe at a reptile show, and it such a cool little spider! I have enjoyed watching it eat and web up its new enclosure. Joe also took the time to introduce me to another invertebrate lover and was willing to talk about invertebrates for a while, unlike some vendors who just want to sell you something and see you on your way. All in all an awesome vendor.

Thanks again Joe!

Pros
  • Lots of variety at great and fair prices. Will help you find and get the T’s you want. All T’s are very healthy. Fantastic communication before and after the sell. Funny and entertaining and makes buying T’s fun.
Cons
  • There is not a Joe Rossi in every state as there should be. :D
I have been looking for an adult female M. balfouri for Smurf, my soon to be mature male for a while. Although Joe did not have one on his sales list for the expo in San Bernardino, he brought me a beautiful adult female M. Balfouri from his own personal collection out of shear kindness for others. She is healthy, gorgeous, and has thrown 2 threat posture at me so I am just unbelievably happy with her. Smurf is going to love her too.

I have never met, seen, or heard of a seller that was willing to let a prize T go just to help someone else out. Not only did he sell one of his own, she was sold at a great price compared to what others were asking for. Joe went above and beyond and I will be a customer of his for life.

My friend (who is not on AB) also wanted to purchase an A. minatrix if I found one at the expo and Joe had one of those too at a great price.

Joe himself is just over all a great person with high morals and has extensive knowledge about T’s. He was an absolute pleasure to speak with and I look forward to many more transactions with Joe in the future.

Pros
  • Fantastic dealer who got FedEx to deliver earlier than expected
Cons
  • None!
Bought three P. metallicas and two P. pulcher from Joe. We agreed to ship Thursday with overnight delivery to arrive Friday. There was a shipping delay and the arrival date got pushed all the way to Tuesday (holiday Monday). So Joe called up FedEx and filed a claim and was in contact with me and FedEx both continuously throughout the process to make sure that they arrived as soon as possible. Joe made it happen that the Ts got to me on Saturday (direct home delivery) by noon. Joe is a fantastic dealer to order from and will fight for your Ts safe travel. I very much appreciate that he did this as they might not have survived if left in transit for the rest of the long weekend. And he threw in a freebie! T. gigas :) can’t wait to see my gigas all grown up. Thank you again Joe, you’re the best.

Joe is a great seller that communicated with me every step of the way and answered all the little questions I had before purchasing. He helped me get my hands on several species that were very high on my wish list and gave me a good deal on them to boot! His packaging job was excellent and all the animals were quite healthy upon arrival and were quick to settle into their new homes. I would gladly do business with him again, and look forward to doing so in the future.

Thanks again Joe!

I purchased 4 Brachys and a LP from the Joe today at the reptile expo in Del Mar. He was very courteous and personable. I was impressed with the variety he had with him. All are healthy and doing well. I'll definitely keep him in mind for any future purchases. Thank you!

Pros
  • Prompt replies Great service Excellent selection Option for local pickup Flexible with regards to meetup time and location
Cons
  • None
All spiders came in excellent containers where I wouldn't have had to rehouse them if I didn't want to. Communication was great; we moved from PM to text messaging for faster service. Prompt replies and all around nice guy. This transaction was a local pickup so I can't say anything about packaging but it was great to be able to skip FedEx shipping fees and arrange a meetup. Variety of species offered is unmatched. Pretty much anything you want. I also got a freebie which wasn't even discussed prior to sale (nor expected).

  • Slings as advertised, look great, and came with a freebie.
Cons

Joe was willing to meet up, which was much appreciated, and he was very gracious despite me showing up late due to some severe traffic (thanks poppies!). He had great communication the entire time. If anything, the slings were bigger than advertised and are in great condition. He even threw in a freebie! I will definitely be purchasing from Joe again in the future.

Pros
  • • Ease and speed of communication • Variety of species available • Great and friendly service
Cons
  • If anything, the amount of packaging tape might’ve been a bit tough to get through in order to open the box. But I’d much rather deal with too much tape than too little and end up having issues in transit, so overall definitely not that huge a deal :)
I first saw Joe’s ad in the classifieds on arachnoboards while I was searching for B. smithi. I hadn’t used these boards to buy any T’s before this, and since it’s such an uncommon species (the true smithi, I mean) I was skeptical. But I started looking through his reviews and saw nothing but good things said about him! So I left a message and received a reply in a couple hours, with contact info for quicker communication. After that it was a breeze buying from him, and he sent a picture of the sling before it got packaged up so I saw exactly what I was getting. He also sent tracking information very quickly. On arrival, the sling was packaged really well and came out of the vial in great shape! I will definitely be back for any other uncommon species that pop up on my wishlist.
