if you pay extra for express shipping there is NO excuse. Keep us posted on whether they refund the difference in shipping, if not then I will never order from them as im sure others wont either.
Thats a bit harsh, if they don't have the plants would you rather they ship you some hornwort instead of the B. japonica you ordered? I have ordered from them in the past and all plants arrived in great shape, great quantities, and snail-free.
My advice is to call them, I have called them in the past with various questions and they answered everything over the phone.
