Lore, IF your plant(s) die because of cold, you should ask for and expect a refund for that/those plants. Oddly enough, I just ordered a bunch of orchids (coming from Hawaii) and I specified the best day to ship, to take advantage of mild weather. The grower wants to ship another day (when it will be colder). I asked the grower's representative what happens if the plants are damaged or even die because of this colder shipping time. She said they would refund or replace any and all plants that were damage or died. I have to trust her on this.
