Once again stellar experience. Answered any and all questions, kept in contact throughout the entire transaction including the tracking number and confirmation the package reached its destination...literally did not need to set my alarm clock, Joe provides the wake up text to scoot over to the FedEx shipping center to get your T’s.

Would you purchase from again?
Yes
Pros
  • Communication was almost immediate from posting interest in purchasing one of the spiders being offerred.
  • Prices were definitely reasonable
  • Accommodated meeting me on the same day at 9pm
  • Brought a couple of the same species when able to give options and allow me to pick the one I preferred.
  • Great Selection
Cons
  • None
He had one spider that I literally spent all day trying to find and nobody currently had available. I was concerned about losing it so I was eager to pick it up as soon as possible and he accommodated meeting me somewhat late in the evening. The Tarantulas I purchased were healthy and well taken care of.

I cannot say enough about the level of communication either. He responded almost immediately to my requests, followed up right away allowing me the option to pick up right away.

Husbandry seems to be excellent. He meticulously made sure every spider was active and alert even though I trusted that they were. Also very knowledgeable about the hobby and since one of the spiders I was purchasing was a sling of a small dwarf species he made sure that I understood how small these little guys are instead of just selling the animal without concern to if I knew exactly what I was getting into. I had done my homework but it's nice to see people concerned about making sure a potential new owner understands what they are getting into with something that is going to be a bit of a challenge to raise.

He even cut me a good deal and tossed in a curly hair. Not a .5" curly hair but a nicely started one that was a couple of inches. I wouldn't hesitate for even a moment to buy from him again and would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for good quality animals. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again in the future and I can't recommend him enough.

I’m a repeat customer, and Joe is definitely a knowledgeable resource and really accessible if you have any questions. He doesn’t make you feel like a jerk for not knowing something, which I’m sure would be comforting for people new to the hobby who might need a little more guidance from someone experienced. I’d recommend him to anyone who wants quality, consistency, & kindness. He’s a pro. (And he has rare goodies so I’m always gonna check his list when I’m looking for something special)

I am new to the hobby and very happy I found Joe on Arachnoboards. He was very friendly and easy to place an order with and the meet up was real smooth. Very happy with what I recieved and will be most likely buying from Joe again. His selection is really nice and it was hard to chose from but I got 6 new spideys and now know where to go. Even threw in a freebie which I appreciate. Thank you Joe!

Really cool guy. I'm so pumped up rn I just got my P.victori +more off Joerossi! He's got a big list/variety to choose from and he even threw in an awesome freebie. Try him out bro! No bull.. We were able to meet up no hassle and the 40 bucks for a full tank was better than the 60-70 bucks I would of had to pay for shipping! All in all holler at Joe for what u need I'm sure he's got u covered. I'll most definitely be going through him again in the future! Thanks Joe!

The big list speaks for itself, but you can tell the dude cares well for his spiders too - they're some of the best looking I've seen. He was always incredibly quick to respond to all forms of communication and I never felt pressured; he was very helpful and friendly. Recommended.

Looking forward to doing more business, Joe. Thanks again!

(Sorry for my lousy photography)

Joe is just wonderful! When my friend finally decided to take the plunge and pick up a couple of slings, I told her I knew just the guy to get 'em from. Joe is very helpful, knowledgeable, and wonderful to buy from. He's got a fantastic selection and all of the slings we picked up from him were well-fed and in great condition. He even helped my fiancée surprise me (Chris says thank you!). Thanks, Joe!

Again joe went above and beyond what I asked. Can't get a better person than he is. His sales tactics are awesome and you can't get any better spiders than what he has. Second time around that came to me alive fat and health. Thanks again Joe Rossi.
