Would you purchase from again?
Yes
Pros
  • Joe price matches most vendors, and is willing to negotiate
  • Ask Joe about his dirt low prices on all your favorite species
  • Joe hands out discounts like the economy is crashing
  • Ask Joe about his anti-inflation spider discount
  • Don't forget to collect your spider-stimulus from Uncle Joe
Cons
  • None
  • Also none
  • The only con is that you haven't yet experienced the magic of getting spiders from Joe
Joe's great, I always appreciate running into him at Expos.

Don't be shy, walk right up to him and ask him about all your favorite species. Chances are good he has some things unlisted as well.

He's never afraid to compete with other vendor prices and his slings are always bigger for the same price!

If you have a wishlist, send it to Joe first. :)

Pros
  • Great experience
  • Excellent communication
  • Beautiful specimens
  • Fair prices
Joe Rossi has 503 perfect, 5-star reviews here (well, 502 and 1 "good, 4-star" - I guess you can't please everybody all the time, lol...). What more does anyone need to know?

If you're looking for some of the coolest species to be delivered to you within a matter of a day or 2, all at very reasonable prices, then you just need to get in touch with Joe and make it happen!! From brand new keepers to the most experienced experts and everyone in between, Joe has a T that will be perfect for you. His specimens are always healthy, and they're packaged and shipped perfectly, so they are ready to start settling in and thriving from the second you unpack them. Have a question about husbandry for a particular species? Just ask Joe and he will tell you what you need to know - he's been doing this for a long time and has learned a thing or 2 in the process... ;-)

I will always make Joe Rossi my first choice when I'm looking to add to my collection, and I strongly suggest that everyone else does, too.

I'm happy to be able to submit the 504th perfect, 5-star review for Joe!

Thanks Joe!!

PS - Feel free to message me directly if I can answer any questions about my experiences with Joe and I'll be happy to respond!

I had a tarantula molt in transit and the guy arrived with no visible damage. Joe definitely packages them very well!

I’ve known Joe Rossi for many years. Most of my tarantulas have come from him. He always goes above and beyond to accommodate any requests I’ve made and always finds me the tarantulas I’m looking for. EXTREMELY reasonable in price and is willing to work anything out! All of my T’s from Joe have been absolutely stunning and healthy. Plus he’s just a wonderful dude to deal with. He already has my next requests on his radar and I very much look forward to purchasing from him again in the VERY near future!!

If you’re looking for thoughtfully packaged, well-cared for tarantulas, this is the person to buy from. Not only do they have ethically sourced specimens, but rare ones too. I was ecstatic to see a G. alticeps for sale and Joe even offered me another rare species that will be in their next import. Super communicative every step of the way, even told me when my package was ready for pickup! Thank you so much! I look forward to working with you again!

Pros
  • Excellent Weather-proof packaging
  • Extremely helpful communication
  • Always willing to answer questions
  • Tarantula arrived very healthy
Joe is simply the best!
We have quite a few tarantulas, though this was our first with Joe. We often have difficulty getting tarantulas in the winter months as we live in a very cold state. However Joe's packaging is top notch. Snow on the ground and the T was minimally stressed and arrived on time and very healthy.

Joe is also an excellent communicator and was very helpful. I truly appreciate his willingness to speak on the phone with us regarding the species we bought and ensuring us on how the purchasing process would go. Would give him 10 stars if I could.

Pros
  • Great communication
  • Rare species
  • Reasonable prices
  • Perfect packaging
  • Fast shipping
  • Amazing resource
I've done a lot of business with Joe, and each transaction has been an awesome experience. He always has access to some of the newest and rarest species on the market, often before anyone else does. Joe also takes the time to learn about all the species that he offers and is always willing to share tips on caring for them properly - he truly wants all of his customers to be successful keepers, and will glady share his vast knowledge.

Joe's communication is perfect, as well. We all know how frustrating it can be when dealing with someone that doesn't do a good job of letting you know what's going on clearly or in a timely manner, and that has never been an issue with Joe. He provides updates about my orders before I ever have to ask for them, and he remembers everything - I recently had a question about the lineage of a specimen I got from Joe 2 years ago, so I sent him a message and had the information I needed in 20 minutes. I don't think there are many vendors around that can/would do something like that, and it shows that Joe is a valuable resource for those trying to grow this hobby.

Joe's packaging is always to notch, too. Let's face it - FedEx sometimes struggles to get packages delivered, but I never worry about it when ordering from Joe. He packs his orders so well that even if the shipment takes an extra day or 2 to arrive because FedEx drops the ball, the specimens are always happy and healthy upon delivery.

Joe Rossi will always be my first choice when I'm looking to add to my collection, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to add to theirs. As always, I'm happy to answer any questions about my dealings with Joe, so feel free to message me if you have any!

Pros
  • Joe Rossi cares about you.
  • Joe Rossi cares about the hobby.
  • Joe Rossi is attentative and personable.
If you want the best tarantula buying experience, you need to call Joe! If you need his number let me know. I've been talking to Joe for over a decade, he knows my whole life just about, and do you want to know why? It's because he's one of the good guys. Irreplaceable, he's a natural people person. Joe is the friend you didn't know you had, so what are you waiting for? Pick up the phone and call him.

So many times I've called just to see if he has something I'm looking for, most times its not even something on his list. His availability list is full of just about everything.

Joe Rossi is a busy person, a hard worker. Do you know what busy people do? They get stuff done! Joe gets it done! Not many places left with cheap shipping, prompt too. And properly shipped T's. My little'n's showed up happy and ready to run like nothing ever happened.

Getting in touch with Joe is a genuine experience you need to try for yourself. So what are you waiting for? Give the man a call.

Oh and one more thing, maybe you think the prices are a bit much? Well I have news for you, Those standard prices go way down the minute you start talking to him. I was discounted over $200.00! Yea! Thats legit tarantula love right there. I didn't even spend that much.

What are you waiting for?

For a good time call Joe Rossi.

I want to touch on the communication and conversation part here. Joe wants to know how you are doing? How was your day? Joe's not just some average bumpkin, I've had some of the best chuckles talking to this guy.

Anyway, Thank You Mr. Rossi.
You're friend,

Pros
  • Big Catalog
  • Great Prices!!!!
  • Good Communication
  • Willing to work with customers
  • All captive bred stock.
Cons
  • Don't see any.
Joe is a really nice guy with a large catalog of Ts for sale. We did an in person transaction. He communicated well even letting me know he was stuck in traffic so I would know what was up. In fact I overpaid him for the Chaco Golden knee I was purchasing, he could have walked with an extra $10 but he didn't (integrity matters) If you are local to the IE and you are tired of paying $50-$80 for shipping, or if you are concerned about the heat and shipping your spiders Joe is the way to go.

Joe is fantastic! I was going to be on vacation in his area and wanted to pick up a couple slings from him. I contacted Joe a week before to see if he would be available to meet up. His communication is impeccable, he responds so quickly and is so nice. Joe and I agreed on a date, place and time to meet up. He made the whole transaction so easy and even threw in a free sling. 💜 I will definitely be doing business with Joe again. Thank you so much!
