Joe Rossi

Great seller, very quick shipping and all slings arrived alive and active! Included a heat pad, and packed slings with amazing care. He was very communicative and answered many questions, I definitely see myself buying from him again!

I found Joe here on the boards as I was looking for a T. Stirmi sling. Within an hour of PMing Joe we had gotten a meet up set for the very next day. I wound up just getting the T. Stirmi by itself, although his pricing is awesome enough to where I could have gotten a few more spiders with it, I just wasnt ready for more than the stirmi, space wise at the time.

Very punctual with the meet up, and did not leave me waiting around for him to show up at all.

Will definitely be checking Joe's available list in the future first, before even considering looking online for the species I'm looking for. Even if he does not have something specific he is willing to work with you to get you what you're looking for.

Fast shipping. Well packed. Tarantulas came very much alive and well. He included a freebie which I wasn't expecting! Highly recommend Joe for purchasing anything. I was very impressed with everything! For my first time purchasing on here, he made it so easy. Communication was top notch. He kept me informed about everything. Thank you for everything and making this really easy for me!

Met up with Joe once again and pick up two H albipes slings!! Been wanting to pick up some of these for awhile now. Joe even price matched from another dealer which was awesome! He always goes beyond to make me happy!! That’s why I always check his stock first. Thanks Joe!! until next time!!

I've been a long time customer of Joe's and keep an eye on his species list. Around mid February, he got in four Homoeomma chilensis slings, so I reached out to him about picking one up. They were available for local delivery only, since they are pricey and hard to find theses days. The rest were snapped up immediately.

I had some unexpected vehicle trouble on the original day I was planning to meet up with him, but fortunately Joe is a nice and flexible guy, so we rescheduled for the following Wednesday after I got off of work. Traffic was nightmarish and the drive was long because of an overabundance of accidents on the roads, but I finally met up with Joe in a parking lot. It hilariously felt like an illicit exchange, except instead of drugs, I gave someone a handful of cash for a vial of dirt with a spider in it.

Anyway, the spiderling is healthy and adorable and I am happy with my purchase. A+ would slog through three hours of stop and go traffic again.

I bought three T's from Joe last weekend. They shipped out Monday and arrived this Tuesday, and are quite healthy. I couldn't be happier with the process of purchasing from him. The T's are great, and so is Joe. Highly recommended, and I will purchase again.

I had been toying with the idea of buying from Mr. Rossi for several months, but never had all the funds together, couldn’t ever totally make up my mind—or meet the $150 minimum (I just don’t ever buy a ton of tarantulas at one time). Finally, though, he had all three of the species’ that I wanted, and I had the funds! The stars aligned and all that! We did the transaction (he takes PayPal, which is excellent), and he shipped the next available business day. He sent me the tracking number as soon as it was available, and was following the package just as vigilantly as I was. LOL.
Bottom line: He is a fabulous seller, you won’t regret it. Working with Joe was effortless; the transaction/tarantulas was/are perfect, and I couldn’t be happier.

What can I say this is my 3rd time ordering from Joe over 20 Ts purchased threw him no DOAs at all his packing is great communication was stellar very fast to respond to any questions I had sent pics of Ts I was asking about his pricing is great and he also has a great selection of Ts some hard to find ones also I will be buying more Ts from him in the future he really cares about his customers and his Ts

Joe will be used again, great breeder and shipper, 10/10 all the way. My Urticans, purpurea and versicolor are all happy and healthy!

I’ve only just met Mr Rossi. But he has so impressed me with his depth of knowledge, his professional demeanor, and his willingness to work with a customer.

The people that I’ve met through Joe are cut from the same rare clothe, and reflect perfectly on who Mr Rossi is as a business man.

Looking for arachnids? This is seriously your one and only stop.

Thank you Mr Rossi. We will do this again...soon!!!

Joe gave me a great deal. Fast communications and awesome selection of tarantulas.

I have bought spiders from Joe probably about a half a dozen times now since summer of 2019.. He has had species that I had previously spent years looking for (his list is probably one of if not the best in the US). This time around I picked up a beautiful Pachistopelma bromelicola... a dream T, and probably my most prized spider in my collection! As always, packaging was superb, everything arrived safe and sound and the spiders (there were 2) looked well cared for. Joe has been wonderful to deal with every single time, and he will take the stress out of buying online, as his communication is great. I've chat with him a few times about Aviculariinae species in the hobby. Hes a stand-up guy. Do yourself a favor and check his list out - chances are you'll find one of your dream Ts too!

I'm so happy with my spiders from Joe! I picked them up from Fedex this morning. Packaging was great! The heat pack was still nice and warm when I unpacked them, which was my main concern since it's pretty cold where I live. Prior to my purchase, Joe was very fast with responding to my email inquiry. After exchanging a few text messages and answering any questions I had, we quickly set a plan for payment and shipping. Everything went very smooth and I will DEFINITELY be purchasing from him in the future. 100% would recommend. Thanks, Joe!!

Great stock, great prices, and great communication. Spiders were well packed and all were alive and well. He has a lot of species that aren’t as commonly available. Will definitely order from Joe again.

Used Joe again for my buddy's Christmas gift (ultramarinus), an albiceps for myself.
I always have at least one payment condition that sets the bar way way high- and Joe delivers every time. Patient, prompt, professional, personable, real. I can always count on this guy to have an IMPOSSIBLY HUGE list with the slings that I'm pondering, and it really can't get any easier. It's the selection you crave with the professionalism that you deserve. He will get it right.
Unfortunately, we suffered a casualty in transit (not the 'gift').
I wasn't worried about a replacement, so we came to an agreement, and the funds were back before I could miss them. I'm a happy customer, as always. Keep on, until next time!

Completed another transaction with Joe and I couldn’t be happier!!! We met up and I picked up 6 T’s on my wanted list. As always I’m thankful and will definitely do business with Joe in the near future. Thank you Joe!!

Met at the Anaheim Reptile Super Show where I was able to buy a Hapalopus sp Columbia Large as planned. After a few days the tarantula is healthy and adjusting well. It was a delight to have any of my questions answered promptly and professionally from him. I would highly recommend and do plan on future purchases from Joe.

I loved working with him. He gave me a great pair of p.Ultramarinus for a great price considering how big they are... Also great communication throughout the whole process. Will definitely buy more tarantulas and if you want great tarantulas and rare tarantulas at a great price I highly recommended him.

Met up with Joe this past Saturday. I Purchase 5 T’s on my wish list. Communication was fast and he went out of his way to make me a happy customer. Will Definitely keep an eye on his future for sale ad! Thanks again Joe. Hopefully my female
Pamphobeteus ultramarinus will be more receptive next time! lol thanks again Lazaro

Joe has been hands down the best seller I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. His communication is top-notch throughout the entire process - from purchasing, to shipping, and receiving your Ts. I am a huge fan of the subfamily Aviculariinae, and the majority of my collection (particularly the rare/uncommon species) came from Joe. He has even notified me when he has received things that he knows I would be interested in. I've never had a seller do that before! On top of the excellent customer service and professionalism, Joe also has an amazing list of species available at all times.. many of which I hardly ever see with other sellers (if ever at all).. not only is the variety great, but the pricing is competitive too! Do yourself a favor and check out what he's got, you won't regret it!

Shown is my Avicularia variegata (sp. Amazonica) that I got from Joe over the summer.. not an easy species to locate!
