Post Re: AZGardens report card (long)

Got my plants today.
10 contortion vall=6 bucks (dead on arrival unless they shipped me brown syrup)=6 $
3 anubias gigantea (decent at 8.99 a pot)=27$
5 anubias barteri (only 3 arrived and didn't realize they were small as hell, 2-3 inches. I see some roots but little if any rhizome)=20$
shipping/handling/box fee=10$

*They state that they will ship me the 2 barteris that were missing

Total cost=$63

Conclusion:
1)I feel for some reason that you should buy only plants that states "extra nice" on their website
2)Get express shipping for an extra 10 dollars more 3)I believe buying delicate long stem leaves could be a disaster in this summer heat which will become syrup like my valls.
4)Buy from LFS instead because you see what you buy.  Actually the day before I bought these anubias, I found a LFS with an excellent selection with better prices.
5)Buy from another online store for plants?
6)No more online shopping for me unless I really wanted a particular plant which isn't available in my area.
