Yes
Pros
  • Packaging
  • Communication
  • Ease of transaction
  • Alive on arrival
  • Selection
I ordered 4 slings, a Psudoclamoris Gigas, Caribena Versicolor, Tapinauchenious Violacious, and Psudoclamoris Burgessi. The transaction was smooth and he replies to messages promptly. The package contained a cool pack. The slings were neatly packaged in vials with moist paper towel. All were live on arrival. Has a good selection in stock. It is rare for me to find more than two things on my wishlist from a vendor at any given time.

Pros
  • Incredible selection
  • Competive price
  • Healthy specimens
  • Local pickup
  • Great communication
  • Kind and helpful
  • Great packaging
  • Takes Venmo
Joe's great. I've been buying with him since I was a noob, and he's always been patient with me and helpful with recommending specimens that I might be interested in.

Joe reached out to me about a month ago to let me know he had located one of my unicorn species - a confirmed female Neoholothele fasciaaurinigra. I obviously said yes and added a couple Thrixopelma to my order to make the hour and a half drive more productive, and he generously tossed in some awesome freebies to sweeten the deal.

Anyway, I met up with Joe for the exchange at a local reptile store. As usual, he showed me that all specimens (including the freebies) were healthy, and was kind enough to hand them off to me in an insulated box, which was great because there was a heat wave and I was worried about them staying cool on my drive home.

All species are healthy and full of beans. AAA+++ love to buy from Joe!

This is only my second time ordering from Joe(won't be my last), but he is the first classified list that come to on AB.
He has something for everyone, with his ever changing and widely diverse stock!
I ordered on Saturday and he sent out on Monday! Talk about rockstar service! He kept in constant contact, and reached out to make sure all was well! He responded to all my messages within minutes.
All slings were healthy and lively! I live a hour away from fedex so when I receive a package I normally check on them to make sure they all look good. On the last one I check, which was a Avic, it charged right out and shot my thumb with the tiniest poop cannon I've ever seen! Healthy and spunky, what more could I ask for!

All around positive experience. Contacted Joe Saturday evening and had my healthy spunky P. Victori sling early Tuesday morning.

I didn’t ask a lot of questions, his reviews spoke volumes, but in the exchanges we had I know he would have gladly answered any questions I had.

Transaction was straight forward. Pretty much everything you need to know is in his classified ad writeup. Packing was spot on.

I would recommend Joe hands down. Great selection and stand up person all around.

Joe is quickly becoming my favorite seller. He was getting in a rare species he knew I’d love and reached out, which meant a lot. I preordered them. They came when promised, actually a day early. Which is rare with preorders. He updated me regularly. Just a smooth and easy transaction. My 3rd order and definitely won’t be my last! Thanks Joe ❤☺

I had a bit of a weird request to get a surprise mystery box. I gave him a list and told him to surprise me. He did a great job with this and also had great communication ! Package was promptly shipped and everyone one in it was in perfect condition. Definitely going to be purchasing and doing this again with Joe.

A few months ago I reached out to Joe to see if he could use my mature male N incei for breeding loan. We agreed on a 50/50 split. He kept me updated with all the details. After a few months on waiting we finally got some babies!!!!. We finally got together on Saturday and he split the babies right in front of me!!! Which was totally awesome!!! We are waiting on some other breeding projects between us!! As always it was a pleasure Joe thanks!

Huge shout out to Joe Rossi, I just received my H. Chilensis female I purchased from him. Despite weather and delivery issues via FedEx, she arrived healthy and expertly packaged to survive tropical storms and tornado warnings! Joe made sure I was informed every step of the way from purchase to delivery, let me know when the shipment got delayed and even notified me when she got delivered. Excellent customer service, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Solid 5/5 stars.

I recently purchased 3 P. Metallica slings from from Joe. I placed my ordered on Thursday and they were shipped the same day. The slings were really well packed and made it here safely. Joe was very quick with his responses for all of my questions. I highly recommend everyone to purchase from him and I will be doing more business with him in the future!

Please let me start by saying that I have plenty of experience purchasing from private vendors and I am not easy to please. In spite of that, I strongly believe Joe absolutely deserves every ounce of praise he has received on this platform. Joe delivered the highest level of customer experience and communication I've ever received from any market or industry... I wish he refinanced mortgages, sold insurance and repaired cars too! Selection was fantastic, prices were more than fair they were generous, packing was exceptional. Whole way through I wouldn't change a single thing, I'm a happy man with my spiders (who all arrived in perfect and lively condition) and would definitely recommend and reorder from him in the future. - Cheers
