Joe Rossi

Fantastic experience purchasing a p Solaris, quick shipping and great communication

By far the best seller I’ve dealt with. Joe responds quickly to any questions & helps in any way he can with your order. My order came in perfectly without a single issue. I’ll definitely be ordering from him again.

I recently received another perfect order from Joe Rossi. Every order that I've placed with Joe has been awesome, and it doesn't matter whether I get 2 or 20 specimens - Joe makes me feel like I'm his #1 customer every time. He always gives my order the attention required to make sure there are never any issues.

I've mentioned this before, but I don't think it's possible to understate just how impressive Joe's selection is... Just out of curiosity, I counted how many different species Joe has available in his current ad - it was 185 when I checked. 185, think about that! It's practically harder to find a species that you want that he doesn't have... He's also always got many of the newest/rarest/hardest to find species on the market, in addition to all the hobby staples that you'd expect. If there is a species that you want which Joe doesn't have listed currently, just reach out to him and ask about it - he might be able to find it for you or can suggest a great alternative that might work instead.

Joe's shipments are always expertly packaged and the specimens are healthy and alert when unpacked. I never worry about getting unhealthy specimens from Joe, ever!

I couldn't be happier with the T's that I've gotten from Joe, and I'm certain that anyone who does business with him will feel the same. Of course, I'm always happy to answer any questions you might have about my dealings with Joe, so just PM me if you have any!

This was my first experience purchasing from a vendor off of arachnoboards. Joe Rossi was very responsive and shipped out my order timely. The spiders arrived well packaged and very healthy. I am super happy with my order and would definitely order from him again. Thank you.

This was my first time making a purchase on this site and it went wonderfully. I had a lot of questions and they were all answered promptly. I had to make a change to the order from what I originally requested, and he was fully understanding and didn't me any grief at all. He was also friendly and pleasant to communicate with. The spiders came packaged very securely and all 3 are very healthy and look well kept. You can tell he truly cares about the spiders and their well-being. I will definitely be ordering with him again in the future.

Second time I’ve purchased from Joe. Both times I contacted him ahead of time and met him at an Expo. He sent me pics of the T’s I inquired about first and always brings two of what you request so that you can choose yourself. He also was so kind he asked what I already had and gave me a freebie that fit great in my collection. Can’t recommend him enough and I’m sure this won’t be my last transaction. Thanks Joe!

I've purchased so many T's from Joe that I've lost count, and I've written quite a few reviews for him. If you have any questions about how I feel about Joe and the kind of person/resource/partner he is, just scroll down and you'll see that I think he's the best...

I wanted to take a minute to recognize Joe for his excellent packaging and the care that he takes with each shipment. The order that I received from Joe last week was unfortunately delayed by FedEx (supposedly due to weather, but who knows). The weather is not exactly warm, so any extended time in transit would be worrisome if this shipment had come from any other vendor. It came from Joe, though, so I was confident that the slings would be fine with an extra day or even 2 in transit, and I was right - upon receiving the package and unpacking, each and every one of the slings was alive, alert, and healthy. One had even molted in the shipping vial and was no worse for the wear!

I appreciate Joe so much, and will continue to get the majority of my T's from him for as long as I'm able to. I'm also happy to answer any questions, so feel free to DM me if I can be of any help! Thanks Joe!

Great service, and animals.

Another great experience purchasing from Joe, got an Ornithoctoninae sp Ho Chi Minh and Ornithoctoninae sp Phan Cay Red.

What can I say about Joe that I haven't said already, or that all these other very satisfied customers haven't said? It's quite obvious from the almost 500 positive reviews posted for Joe that he's the best in the business and has been for a long time.

I can say that even though I'm nobody special, Joe always makes me feel like I'm the most important person he's dealing with whenever I get in touch with him. He's likely making deals with and taking orders from dozens of other hobbyists at any given time, yet he always responds to my messages quickly and cheerfully, and can get my order shipped the next day - and he's never made an error in any of my orders!

The other thing about Joe that I would like to point out which I think may be overlooked sometimes is just how impressive his inventory is. The variety and number of slings that Joe has available for sale at any given time is simply unparalleled. From the most common, well-established hobby staples to the very newest species available globally, Joe has them, and has them at fair prices.

I consider myself lucky to have a partner like Joe to lean on as I grow in this hobby. I look forward to many more years of fantastic dealings with Joe. As always, I'm happy to answer any specific questions that I can, so feel free to send me a message if you have any!

I have purchased slings from Joe twice now. Both times he responded and shipped promptly. If you ask about sizes he will send pics of the specimen next to a tape measure, a nice touch. Each time I received exactly what was promised, well packed and healthy. Communication and his availability are first rate. I will continue to buy from him in the near future.

Been buying Ts from Joe for many years. This time around I got a Ornithoctinae sp HoChi Minh, Ornithoctoninae sp Malthai and a P. Sabah. There are many reasons why I do business with Joe but here is what Ive experienced the most.
1. Healthy Ts
2. Solid Communication
3. Willingness to Teach
4. On time ie shipments, local pick up
5. For some reason hes always got the really rad Ts im looking for.
6. Just a good Dude!

I made another order with Joe for some rare specimens that I'd had my eye on for a little while. The transaction was smooth as ever - text Joe with my list, he confirms availability, I send him the money, and he sends the spiders. This time, though, Fedex decided they would hold my shipment in Memphis for an extra day. Joe messaged me at the first sign of a delay to let me know, and kept me updated the whole time the package was in transit. I ended up getting the shipment a day later than I was supposed to (no fault of Joe's), but Joe does such an incredible job of packing his orders and including heat/cool packs as needed, that the slings were all healthy and alert when I unpacked them, even though they'd been in transit for close to 48 hours. Just another of the many reasons that I continue to do business with Joe Rossi.

I'd be happy to answer any questions that anyone has about my experiences with Joe, so feel free to send me a message if I can help!

I cannot find the words to describe how great of an experience dealing with Joe is. You will worry for nothing, want for nothing, and be left with the feeling of utmost satisfaction.

If you're still considering obtaining your T from JoeRossi, stop hesitating and do it already.

Was an absolute pleasure doing business with Mr. Rossi. I'd recommend it to anyone, & look forward to future dealings myself. I waived the LAG for home delivery, & am confident the spider would have survived just fine in colder conditions with 2nd day delivery, considering the method & materials used in packing; the heat pack itself was still warm, & it was nice n' cozy in that box for that little sling despite barely kissing 50° outside of it.
Despite the waived LAG, he was on top of the tracking as though he still had responsibility for it up to delivery, & I enjoyed the exchange on top of that. Very personable guy, & I got the sense he genuinely cared for this little spider.
His wares are worth a look, & I would gladly recommend conducting business with him. I'm a very happy customer.

This was my first purchase from Joe, but also my first purchase by mail and my first ever slings. Joe was extremely patient and answered all of my questions, including helping me with basic husbandry issues. The spiders were well-packed in an insulated box, with each spider wrapped in soft paper inside a small vial. The tubes were then inside a plastic ziploc, and they were then well secured inside the box. I paid a few extra dollars to meet the minimum for shipping, so Joe agreed to include a couple of small housing containers, which was extremely helpful, as my intended containers were arriving late.

Joe sent photos in advance, and he even photographed the T sling next to a ruler. The spiders were in perfect condition, active and beautiful. The T was even bigger and better looking than I expected. I will absolutely buy spiders from Joe in the future.

This was my first order from Joe and I couldn't be more pleased. He is easy to work with, communicates well, his pricing is fair, and he delivers what is promised. I purchased a Pamphobeteus insignis and a Brachypelma klaasi, two species not many are selling right now. His selection is fantastic and I will do business with him again soon.

Overall, very pleased with this seller my spiders arrived very quickly and in wonderful condition. He was very good at providing pictures of the individual slings and giving accurate size estimates. Allowing for me to set up appropriate enclosures ahead of time.
10 out of 10 would buy from again

I got an itch for some new slings the other day, so I sent Joe a message on Monday evening telling him what I was looking for, and by Wednesday morning I was unpacking my new additions. As usual, they arrived perfectly packaged, healthy, and alert - ready to start settling right in to their new enclosures.

I write a lot of reviews for Joe Rossi, but that's because I buy a lot of spiders from him - and I will continue to do so! I think it's important for people to know about how easy Joe makes every transaction, the high quality specimens he's offering, and the exceptional customer experience he delivers. In a world where anyone, anywhere can put an ad online and ultimately take your hard earned money without providing what you expected in return, it's reassuring to know that we have a trusted resource like Joe to support us as we grow this hobby. I read a lot of posts on AB by people that have received T's in all kinds of unhealthy conditions, and all the trouble they have with the spiders and sellers afterwards. It reminds me to be thankful that I will never find myself in a situation like that when dealing with Joe.

As always, feel free to message me directly if you have any questions and I'll be happy to help if I can.
