This was another great transaction with Joe. He sent the slings along safely nestled into their packaging. It's easy to see that he takes great care of the slings. I'll definitely buy from Joe again!
Great packing job, included a freebie, packed VERY secure
Probably the best packed shipment I’ve ever received, at least in recent memory. Joe did a fantastic job shipping 7 inverts to me and was even nice enough to include a free A.Hentzi. Will absolutely buy from this seller again.
I finally got my P. Species Solaris and Joe was an utter gem of a man to buy from! You can’t go wrong with him! You can tell he really cares about each of the tarantulas he sells!
Purchased a inothele megatheloides from him and he could not have made the process easier. He is very helpful with information on the subject and has a massive collection of Arachnids. WILL definitely recommend anyone looking to buy from him!
I always order from Joe when looking for rare species, and his prices are usually better than any of the major spider retailers.. the packaging is always top notch, and Joe provides excellent communication throughout the entire process, from start to finish!
Joe has become my 1st stop when I'm looking to expand my collection. He has such an amazing variety of species, and he will work with to ensure that you are a happy content customer.
Joe's depth of knowledge is truly amazing.
Cons
He's to good a salesman...I cannot say no to this man.
I have made several purchases over the last 6 months, from various venders with varying degrees of happiness from the transaction.
I have never had a bad experience when buying from Joe. The man understands this hobby, he cares deeply about this hobby, and he takes care of his customer base.
Another awesome sale with Joe! He reached out to me a month ago with his species list for import he was getting in. I got really excited to see some genera I've been wanting for ages on it. The import arrived this week and he coordinated the pickup with me yesterday via Matt at Jurassic Pets aka The Spider Room. I purchased two Eresus walckenaeri and one Liphistius yangae, and they're all awesome! The little Liphistius is tiny but fast and healthy. The Eresus is a spiderling as well, very active, and is checking out its new enclosure. A+ as usual, wish we could have met up and chatted for a bit!
Fast communication and very friendly, helpful, great selection
Purchased 2 slings (Avic Minatrix and Dolichothele diamantinensis). Joe communicated quick and was easy to set up a pick up for the slings. He was very friendly and helpful. Both slings looked in great shape. He is an A+ seller, will definitely look forward to getting more from him again.
I ordered 5 H. Gabonensis slings and 2 Scolopendra Hainanum from Joe, all arrived healthy and alive.
Packing was great, in an insulated box packed tight.
The H gabonensis slings were way bigger than expected and I already got a killer deal on them.
Joe kept in communication throughout the whole process of buying and even called me to explain some questions/concerns about shipping that I had.
overall, very pleased with buying from Joe and look forward to purchasing from again!
Willing to teach and educate to ensure health and safety of the tarantulas
Punctual
I am a first-time tarantula owner. After researching for a while on my own, I found countless raving reviews of Joe on Arachnoboards and other sites as well. Luckily for me, he lived only about an hour away from me and I could buy from him!
Over the course of a week I sent him constant questions by text, and sometimes phone calls, to ask about tarantula care and what he had available, etc. He was very accommodating and polite, and extremely helpful no matter when I texted him, and was happily willing to call as well.
Upon receiving the tarantula, he helped me make sure the enclosure I had made was appropriate, and showed me around the shop for helpful items that I could use as well.
He sent photos of my options before I decided on one and was happy to give me a large bumba cabocla sling!
If you are new to tarantulas, Joe is your guy. Very helpful and super kind, happy to have had the chance to buy and learn from him.
Thanks Joe!

Joe was flexible with my schedule and very accommodating. I love an hour from our meeting point and could just drop everything and go. I met him at a reptile shop where the owner was both knowledge and kind. Spent about an hour there, that was a plus.
Joe had a Brazilian Blue (hard to find) and the price was fair.
Cons
None
I purchased a Brazilian blue from Joe this morning and I am very pleased with the transaction. Because of my tight schedule and some medical needs of my children, I couldn't meet him on the day I made contact. Joe was willing to work with me and accepted a down payment to hold the tarantula I wanted. When we did meet up, he was actually there before I was, so I didn't have to wait and we met at a really cool reptile shop. I also bought a small snake to go in my palidarium. I would purchase from Joe again just for the same experience.
Great Communication, Quick Response Time, Quick Shipping, Excellent Packaging
Cons
None
Joe is a very easy person to work with, very informative and willing to help and answer any questions or concerns you may have. Beautiful and healthy Tarantulas as described and pictured. I will remain in contact with Joe and definitely will purchase again! A++
Great selection, communication, packing and quality of spiders upon arrival
Cons
Nada
My experience was a great one with Joe Rossi! He answered all my questions quickly and provided pictures of the actual slings I wanted to buy. His shipping was fast and packing even better! When I couldnt make it to FedEx to get my package he called me to personally make sure things were ok and that I would be able,to get the package soon. He cares a lot about his inverts and takes pride in what he does and it shows! Thanks Joe it was a pleasure and I will be back!
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.
