I'm not in on this deal, so excuse me for butting in. I was in on the cutting coop last year. The cuttings were mailed out again the day the coop leader got them, and I received them in great shape 2 days later. We had some sort of happening here that kept me from taking them out of the baggies for several days, and ALL of them were just fine. Some were real wilted, but they perked up just fine once I had them in potting soil. I didn't mist them or anything. I really don't think you have to worry about length of time in transit.
