excellent haul there desirue. I think they sent you some good choices that aren't too demanding but will flower well.
Overall they look in goo shape, the fact so many are flowering is great.

the only one I would keep an eye on is

2. Wils. Hilda Plumtree HOF. and the one with moldy substrate.

I wouldn't repot any of the others any time soon, they all look fine to go through the winter unless a problem develops.

Even the two I mentioned might suffer from being repotted! Mold is not necessarily a concern, if you let the top dry thoroughly and just give the pot a bit of water to suck up from below (but very little) - let the bulbs shrivel a bit if you must, but drying the substrate will kill any of the mold.

I'd opt for not repotting straight after transport. If the mold gets worse or the plant dries too much then repot it but for now observe them a bit.

I know how hard it is to quarantine. I just bought myself a 160l storage tub for this purpose as I also bought myself a few more too. So after bringing too many pests in to mine they will be spending a month in the storage tub first. I've got a little led for them. Then I will treat for pests, repot after a month and treat for pests again after which they will be brought in to the rest.
