I would like to add something to this post. There is no way, in my opinion, that the plants INSIDE a flask can be protected from the bumps that they will recieve in the postal system. The flask itself can be protected with good wrapping (as was the case here) but there is too much free space inside a flask and the plants will move unless they are so large that they are crammed against the walls of the flask and hold themselves in position.
If anyone decides to order a flask then they will have to bear this in mind and be prepared to get a mix of plants and agar when they arrive. I think that it is unreasonable to expect them not to get mixed up.
I have bought several flasks through the post and they have all been shaken when they arrived.
