I had in the past mail-ordered some plants, but I can't recall where I might have gotten them. There was only one thread in my search here, but that was for places specifically in canada.
i just ordered some live plants from ebay. the dealer was "mikeswetpets". communication was great, he gave me a prompt refund no questions asked for an overpayment on shipment. he reduces shipping price if you order more than one plant from him. I haven't gotten the plants yet, but will let you know how they arrive. The way it's been so far, I'm pretty sure I'll order from him again.
My experience with LiveAquaria.com was not so great. The plants were not shipped with any water, just wrapped in newspaper, so many of them were rotted by the time they arrived. They did give me a refund for the dead plants, but it was less than the amount I paid for them. $49 for 12 plants, so more than $4 per plant, but refund for 3 plants was only $9.53
I've ordered plants from mikeswetpets on ebay and they are gorgeous! I'm sure you won't be disappointed! I do live in the same state though, so even priority shipping got them to me overnight. Hopefully yours will arrive just as well out in CA!
