Just got my shipment of plants from azgardens.com and was very happy. I ordered three bunches of giant hygro and cuban ludwigia. Each bunch had atleast seven to eight stems. I also ordered some jungle val which you had to order a minimum of ten at .59 each and recieved 17. Very pleased and will definitely order from them again.
 
I ordered some aponogetons from them a couple of months ago. Out of the 18 bulbs I ordered from them, only 2 did not survive. They also sent a suprise Madagascar lace plant in place of a bovinanus bulb. One of the undulatas did grow for about 2 weeks but then got moldy and stopped growing. 9 out of 10 of the natans sprouted. Those types are shipped dry much like the grow your own bulbs that you get from wmart.
 
Shipping was about 15 dollars or so if I remember correctly for next day shipping on UPS to northern Utah. It does give you an option to pick the method of shipping or let azgardens pick it for you. The bulbs were in plastic baggies stapled shut to keep them from drying out and the packets were shipped in a large padded envelope. The bulbs in most cases seemed to be mature plants that had the leaves and roots clipped off for shipping.
 
ordered from them twice, several years ago. The first time everything was great. The second time was a mess, wrong plants, incorrect quanities, just plain fubar. After going back and forth and waiting several weeks I got another mish mashed bunch of crap. Then I got attitude from the owner about "it just being a hobby" I thought he was running a business?? I'll never do business with them again.Grams-Garden-and-Attic-Treasures orAqua Botanic will take care of you.
 
I ordered from them a couple of times and they always hooked it up. And when i had a plant rot out after a few weeks the gave me credit for it. I got 5 cherry shrimp from them now I have 30. I must warn you about jungle vals. I ordered 20. I give 20 away every other week. Those things grow and spread like weeds. Don't use them for any delicate aquascaping because they will ruin it. My jungle vals grow an average of an inch a day. I trim them every 3-4 days. Other than shipping being a ton of money there worth it.
I ordered from a place over seas and shipping was 1/3 of the AZ shipping but a good chunk were rotted out and the portions were half of AZ's. The dwarf hair grass I got from AZ was a full pot with the grass spreading all around the pot. The stuff from china was 1/4 of that.
Its a great choice if you got the money. The more you buy the more worth it the shipping is.
 
Maybe they have changed their methods of operation since I got 3 bad orders in a row. I finally decided I would go back to fake plants before ordering anything from them again. My impression is it is a real coin toss if you are happy or not ordering from them.

I do not like their shipping policy at all.
