Question orchid leaves and flowers falling off

Hello. I'm new to the group and the reason I'm posting is that my husband got me 4 small orchids last week...they were delivered by UPS in a tall, cardboard box. After freeing them, I place them in an East-facing window. There was still some hint of moisture in the medium, so I didn't water them right away. One of them immediately started losing it's blooms and then several leaves. After a week, 2 others have started to turn brownish. I added a little water yesterday, hoping that it would help. Can you advise me as to what to look for next? I want to save these beautiful plants, but they didn't come with clear instructions, and I'm not even sure which type of orchid they are. I appreciate any advise you can give me to get started, but it might be urgent at this point.
Thanks

I moved your thread to the Beginner's discussion.

Please post photos so we can identify what you have .. once we know what you have, we can direct you as how to care for it

Here are the links needed to help you post photos on the OB .. They appear permanently at the top of the Beginner's Discussion forum as Stickys ...
You must resize your photos first - this link will show you how - Resizing Images...originally posted 6/13/06 by Marty
These will help you attach photos to posts in threads and to your gallery -

If you have any questions or problems with the OB, I'll be happy to help you

It sounds to me like they were exposed to really extreme temperatures en route.

Personally, I'd contact the vendor - who apparently didn't package them properly for the trip.
