I ordered some plants from there on Monday, nothing rare and everything was in stock. Yet here I am about 48 hours later and I still have to be notified of them being shippped. The last time I previously ordered from them I got an email 4 hours after I ordered saying it was shipped and I got it next day. I got the same shipping as last time too.

Has anyone else experienced this with orders that are not huge and aren't dealing with rare plants?

Nevermind, lol. I sent them an email and got a reply back in 3 minutes saying it's going to be shipped tommorow. I just like to know when it's going to be shipped you know.

The first time I ordered from them it took about 3 days. My experience the first time was the same as yours. After the 2nd day, I sent an email and got notificatin back within about 2 or 3 hours that it had shipped. I ordered from them again about 2 weeks later. On that ordered, I got notification of shipment within about 6 hours, same day shipment.

I'm just happy I know I'll get it for the weekend.

Did you have them shipped next day? I did and mine were in great shape. Actually, they are packed very well in wet paper and zip-loc bags. I had a few that I couldn't get in my tank (I ordered way too many) and just wrapped them back up in the same packages. They still looked great 3 or 4 days later.

Edit: I don't know if this is the first time you have done a planted tank or not. Be sure to rinse them well to get all the loose leaves off them. Otherwise, they will get stuck to your filter intake or even fall to the bottom of the tank to decay. Doing a gravel vac on a planted tank is impossible (except maybe the front where there aren't any plants) so there's not much way to get them out otherwise.
