Oops, I hit send instead of Browse, here's a photo of a plant that came from HI (NOT ONE OF ALOHAHOYA'S!!!!)
It not only took over 7 days to get to TN via priority mail, but the top was all smuched from the plant sliding back and forth. This came from a seller that sells a LOT on eBay, and has 100% feedback.

I do like the wrapping plants in newspaper, it helps protect them a lot, too. If you have several sheets it makes a stiff shell the plant is protected inside.
