After my first transaction went so smoothly with Joe, I decided to reach out to him, looking for something interesting and larger. He ended up giving me two awesome Xenesthis options, and went with the X.immanis. Once again, he had my order in the mail as soon as humanly possible, communicating every step along the way. The specimen I received arrived in perfect condition, well packed and hungry. I really can't say enough good things about doing business with Joe. He's awesome.

My transaction with Joe was great! He went above and beyond with his communication and even sent me some photos of the albopilosus I was ordering. His packing was great and the T arrived safe and sound. Would definitely order from Joe again!

Pros
  • Excellent communication

Cons

I messaged Joe on AB and got nearly an instant response. He provided pictures of all the specimens I would be buying. Joe kept in constant contact when the B. boehemi, B. schroederi and G. pulchra were sent and even texted me when they arrived at my FedEx hub. It was honestly a perfect experience and would recommend his services to anyone.

Thanks Joe!

This was my first ever mail-order spider purchase, and Joe made it really easy for me. He even recommended me a somewhat similar species that was a good deal with one of his price-cap discounts. Everyone was packaged very snuggly and he of course included a well-needed cool pack.

Purchased 5 species of Poecilotheria from Joe less than 5 days ago and they’re already all acclimating to their new enclosures & beginning to feed! The spiders were shipped quickly & securely. Thanks so much for making it happen!

Pros
  • Good communication
  • Tarantulas arrive in healthy condition
  • Fast response
  • Reasonable price
Cons
  • Some of the tarantulas from the list are not available. It took us a while to find out which Ts are available.
Great service. Some of the slings are bigger than I expected, like the P vespertinus which is 3+ inches.
Overall it deserves 5 star.

I appreciate the kind words and the 5 stars. On the con the buyer wanted a Pamphobeteus flammifera and an Avicularia Avicularia but they were purchased by another the same day of the request. At times with stock moving so fast it happens that a purchase is made at the same time as another request. When this happens I try and remove stock as quickly as possible. They have now been removed from my list and I am happy the buyer found a Pamphobeteus vespertinus and Avicularia versicolor along with 25.00 off to replace those tarantulas.

Thanks again for your purchase.

Joe is the easiest person to do business with. Look over his list of available species, text him with what you want, he texts back to let you know what he's got and gives you a price, you transfer money with Paypal, then you have awesome new T's in your hands a day or 2 later. How much easier could it be? Never had an issue with Joe, and I'll be buying from him again soon!

This is my 3rd transaction with Joe and every time, it's a delight. He's got a really wide selection, and his prices are very reasonable for the rarity of what he offers. Communication is always quick and packing is great. I 100% intend to do business with Mr. Rossi again.

Another flawless purchase from Joe. This is the eighth time I've purchased slings from Joe and made arrangements for local pick up. I appreciate his flexibility to meet up for a purchase and would not hesitate to make more purchases in the future. He has my highest endorsement; you will not be disappointed purchasing from him.

  • Quick shipping, great selection, great prices, great packaging
I've ordered from Joe before and my animals have have been healthy. He has a great selection, and even pointed me in the direction of someone else who had a species he didn't have more stock of, which is amazing service and follow up. He communicated with me several times about when he would ship, and throughout the day when it was out for delivery. Prices are great, and I will happily purchase from him again in the future. I can't recommend Joe enough

This is the second time I’ve purchased spiderlings from Joe. Both times everything went super smoothly, the spiders looked great, and the prices were really good. I reached out to him a couple of weeks ago about a velvet spider and he responded quickly about which ones he had and their sizes. We agreed to meet up today, and Joe was really pleasant to buy from. He was understanding when traffic made me late, and included a freebie sling.
Next time I’m in the market for a spider, I’ll be getting in touch with him again. Highly recommended.
