I met up Joe at the Pomona Reptile Show on Saturday, we had been texting back in for a few weeks prior. I just kept adding more and more T’s to my order and he would always reply back within a few mins. I have been doing transaction with Joe for years now, and will continue to do so for years to come. Thanks again Joe!
Another awesome sale with Joe! He reached out to me a month ago with his species list for import he was getting in. I got really excited to see some genera I've been wanting for ages on it. The import arrived this week and he coordinated the pickup with me yesterday via Matt at Jurassic Pets aka The Spider Room. I purchased two Eresus walckenaeri and one Liphistius yangae, and they're all awesome! The little Liphistius is tiny but fast and healthy. The Eresus is a spiderling as well, very active, and is checking out its new enclosure. A+ as usual, wish we could have met up and chatted for a bit!
Joe has become my 1st stop when I'm looking to expand my collection. He has such an amazing variety of species, and he will work with to ensure that you are a happy content customer.
Joe's depth of knowledge is truly amazing.
Cons
He's to good a salesman...I cannot say no to this man.
I have made several purchases over the last 6 months, from various venders with varying degrees of happiness from the transaction.
I have never had a bad experience when buying from Joe. The man understands this hobby, he cares deeply about this hobby, and he takes care of his customer base.
Unfortunately, I can not review Joe's prices because I have not yet purchased from him. So please don't take my low stars on his prices as a bad thing. I'm required to fill that in.
I received a p everetti male from Joe yesterday. This is a very rare male(quite possibly the only one in the US) so I greatly appreciate Joe loaning me his male. Hopefully we can be the first to produce this species in the country.
Joe's packaging was great the male arrived safe and was very calm. I certainly look forward to possibly purchasing from him in the future!
I always order from Joe when looking for rare species, and his prices are usually better than any of the major spider retailers.. the packaging is always top notch, and Joe provides excellent communication throughout the entire process, from start to finish!
I met up with Joe over the weekend to purchase 2 Ts, and had an excellent experience. He has a huge variety to choose from, including some I’d been having a hard time finding anywhere else. The spiders I received look great & well cared for. What a huge bonus that he’s local!
He’s a nice guy and communication was excellent throughout the whole process. He even threw in a third T for free!
I will absolutely go back to Joe when I’m ready for a few more.
Here are pics of their new homes - everyone is settling in nicely! My G. Pulchra ate like a piglet and has now tunneled in and closed up the entrance to their hide.
Purchased a inothele megatheloides from him and he could not have made the process easier. He is very helpful with information on the subject and has a massive collection of Arachnids. WILL definitely recommend anyone looking to buy from him!
Joe did an amazing job packaging and shipping the slings I wanted
Cons
N/A
Joe knocked it out of the park, shipping across the country for two slings. Both are in great shape and the packaging was great! Thanks, I will be buying from Joe in the future!
Very friendly great communication responds quickly
I messaged Joe about the sling red knee he replied within 3 min we met at 715 am which is awesome for the early birds I would definitely recommend Joe for your next spider purchase!!
I finally got my P. Species Solaris and Joe was an utter gem of a man to buy from! You can’t go wrong with him! You can tell he really cares about each of the tarantulas he sells!
Joe is great. I contacted later in the evening and not only did he respond right away but he answered all of my questions, too.
I wouldn't expect this every day of the week but he was able to ship the very next day, and he updated me with shipping info as soon as he had it.
The Ts were shipped with care, he added a heat pad which is a nice touch considering the colder than usual weather we are seeing in my area despite the time of year. I will definitely be purchasing from Joe again and I genuinely look forward to doing business with him again.
One of the best online purchasing experiences possible. Joe maintained constant communication and answered any questions I had. Packaging was superb, would not hesitate to order from again.
Great packing job, included a freebie, packed VERY secure
Probably the best packed shipment I’ve ever received, at least in recent memory. Joe did a fantastic job shipping 7 inverts to me and was even nice enough to include a free A.Hentzi. Will absolutely buy from this seller again.
I want to give a big thanks and shout out to Joe for making my first online T purchase seemless. Joe provided me with exact pictures of the T's that I purchased and provided me with amazing communication throughout the whole process. The packing was great, and was still warm from the heat packs. My T's arrived on time and they looked great. Oh and Joe was the only one I could find that had both T's that I wanted in stock!!! Will definitely purchase again!!
Great selection and shipping, he worked with me when one of the species I wanted sold out. I've been looking all over for a B. schroederi and was not disappointed. Great to work with, I'll definitely be watching for future purchases!
Joe is one of the nicest people I have ever done business with. Communication is 5 stars!
Cons
None whatsoever
Through the kindness and generosity of a member here, I was blessed to have a G. pulchra and a T. albo purchased for me from Joe as a gift.
From the very first time I contacted Joe, he was amazing. My questions were answered and I even got pictures of the animals along with a picture of the shipping label!
Communication was constant and I loved that I wasn't left to wonder what was going on.
Shipping was lightning fast because no sooner did I say hello, and gave Joe my information, they were on their way to me!
I was simply blown away.
Today I picked them up, brought them home, and fell completely in love.
They are healthy and lovely!
Although I already took a bunch of pictures, I aim to take more later which I'll choose one from each and post them on AB.
In closing, if I ever decide to add to my collection, I know exactly what vendor I'm going to get it from because as far as I'm concerned, Joe has a customer for life.
Thank you Joe, for making this experience wonderful and memorable.
Joe completed another amazing order with ease. No questions were unanswered and honest opinions/options were given. He is really easy to work with.
We started to talk at the end of the night and were able to confirm up the next day by noon. Super responsive.
The Ts were packaged immaculately in individual vials with a heat pad. I will definitely be purchasing from Joe again. Love his variety and can't wait for the next new batch of rare Ts.
I enjoyed the accurate and timely communication, And I also really enjoy Joe’s follow up by letting me know when my order arrived at the pick up facility. I was very pleased overall
