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!
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,

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.
Will definitely order from again. Slings were very active and ready to explore right after being unpacked. Also has some rare, uncommon species. Communicated very well when figuring out shipping dates, etc. Genuinely a nice guy and a pleasure to do business with.
Purchased 3 T's from Joe, a N incei, a C perezmilesi and a H guerilla. All 3 slings look healthy and Joe was a pleasure to deal with. I will buy from him again in the future.
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!
Joe is awesome at what he does from packing to selection to professionalism
Cons
None fantastic guy
Joe gave me the opportunity to buy one of the most beautiful spiders in the world.It arrived healthy and vibrant with an awesome freebie to boot.Fedex dropped the ball and the package was a day late but he really knows how to pack invertabrates so it wasn't a problem at all thank n you very mutch Joe and I highly recommend getting some of his very nice spiders
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!
