Orchids on Ebay

[greggnkay]

I am still relatively new to growing orchids. In my immediate are (Northwest Georgia) the only places I have been able to find orchids is at Lowe's, HD and WM. To expand my collection I havve made quite a few Ebay purchases. Most sellers have been fantastic with only one I felt was 'not so good'. Here are some of the sellers who treated me right, shipped orchids quickly and securely and I will do business with again (most I have already bought from 2+ times).

The Orchid Gallery - Nice, large plants, secure shipping
Nia's Orchids - Varied selection, good prices, secure shipping
shermantp - Super healthy plants, secure shipping
Heavenly Orchids - Large, healthy plants, good value
Wilk's Orchids - Super fast shipping from Hawaii
Larry's Orchids - No individual pics, but I read the description closely and got exactly what I expected. When I paid for multiple items before a combined invoice was sent, hence over-paying for shipping, they more than made up for the $$$ by adding in a surprise!

Shipping cost is one of those variables that I see as a necessary evil. All sellers combined shipping with some costs more than others, but all were worth the price as the orchids were packaged well and arrived safely. The only exception was not the sellers fault. A fill-in postman/woman folded a box in half to fit it in my box, breaking a spike.
