Question 4, how do we know what is a fair swap, is there some type of guideline or is there someone like an "Orchid Dear Abby" we can go to for help and reference?
Are these dumb questions or what??????
Newbies, huh?

My recommendation is to avoid shipping outside US unless you have all the paperwork in place. You'll need Agriculture inspection, CITES permit, etc. and a friend in customs. Also the red tape may hold the plant up so that it becomes moldy or dessicated. Most shippers that ship routinely overseas (including into US from outside) have all their paperwork in order. Just a thought.
