I only got the two from off-ice and he is the only vendor I have dealt with. He lives in a neighboring state so it only took a matter of 2-3 days transit time after I paid him. I thought the price was extreemly reasonable. Much cheaper than anything I have seen on eBay and much better condition. The trick of dealing with someone through the mail is to try to get someone who can deal with everything you want and order it all at the same time so postage doesn't eat up your budget. It doesn't cost much more to ship 5 plants than 2 or so. You can always ask if they will do combined shipping. If someone won't do combined shipping, you should ask why. If they don't have a very valid reason, like the two plants will duke it out in the box (
) then I wouldn't do business with them. They could explain why it would be better or cheaper to do a seperate ship, but make them tell you why. Most will just automatically ship your items together, but ask anyone you don't know if they discount ship for multiple items. A friend of mine bought 3 plants on eBay and they came from the same vendor and the same day and time. They were shipped in the same box. He charged $5.99 to ship one plant so he just x3'd it and charged her $17.97 for shipping. The plants only cost $12.00. She should have gone elsewhere. This is the reason I suggested the site I did. I have faith in them and I have had experience and know this is not the way business is done. Check with off-ice. He told me he had over a thousand species and will probably be able to help you.
