Joe was amazing for the entire process, went and picked up the spiders at FedEx, brought them home and pack them and they are fat happy little spoods. I love the fact that he was very concerned about them and wanted to make sure they were safe and doing well. Definitely will buying more soon.

Third order from Joe and hands down exceptional in every way. Shipping is fast and packaging is on par; he pays attention to details to ensure things get delivered alive and well.

Joe knows his T’s, and in cases where it’s a newer species with not a lot of info and you ask about info on the T he will straight up be transparent...much respect and appreciation for his ethical conduct.

His track record speaks for itself and you cannot go wrong with doing business with him.

I have what I officially refer to as the “J.Rossi Collection” display highlighting my current and previous purchases.

I cannot say enough good things about buying from and working with Joe Rossi. I mean, I bought four slings in two days, so... He is the epitome of an awesome tarantula seller, conscientious, has an amazing selection, and his prices are great. Shipping is spotless, and I am already saving up to buy more from him.

Joe always has an awesome selection and is always a pleasure to work with. I am super happy that my G. porteri went to him and she will live out her days in luxury and help educate the next generation of hobbyists. I am also freaking stoked for the Euathlus parvulus I picked up out of the trade! I look forward to working with Joe again.

Great transaction. Sent pictures of the EXACT specimens I was getting.
I was hesitant to inquire, as prices seemed slightly higher than some options. Upon inquiry, I discovered the slings were much larger than I'd generally expect, and it was a great deal.
Animals arrived well packed and healthy.

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.

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!!

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 ☺❤

This is the third time I've made a purchase from Joe. As always, he is quick to communicate and willing to make local pick up arrangements. Flawless transaction. If he sold cars, houses, and insurances, I'd buy those from him as well.

His communication is on point and follows up with the tracking of the packages.

Fedex held the package an extra day and cooked a few of the tarantulas unfortunately. Joe replaced them on his own accord, even though the circumstances of the DOA were not due to neglect on his end.

I would recommend any buyer to purchase from this dealer. Thanks again Joe and I look forward to our next transactions.

Pros
  • Incredible variety
  • Excellent communication

Cons
  • Price is on the high end
  • Expected an exciting freebie with a $250 order
I would highly recommend anyone purchase from Mr. Rossi who are willing to pay a little extra to have everything done right, and to get species that are just not stocked elsewhere. The packaging was picture perfect, and he communicated with me throughout the whole process. In terms of the discount I got for hitting a certain threshold, it would have been more exciting to get a really cool freebie, but that's a preference thing on my part. Overall, the experience was excellent and I am very happy!

Just had another perfect transaction with Joe. He always has a huge selection of healthy spiders. I texted Joe my wishlist and received a reply within minutes. He was willing to ship them out the same day. Right after I paid he sent me a tracking number and the spiders arrived the next morning. You can't beat that kind of efficiency and service. He even included a really nice freebie. I've been buying from Joe for several years and have never had a bad transaction or even a DOA. Looking forward to many more transactions with Joe in the future.
