So I got my package in the mail today. My orchids were bent

just to fit in the SMALL priority mail box... Now I have two larger plants, that are bent, poor roots, and were completely dry! My flask is completely unsalvageable, as well as my small compot. I spent $20.00 on shipping, and on top of having to contact the seller to actually send my items, the plants were bent, thrown in a tiny box with just newspaper, and the plants were VERY poor. I would think someone would spend more than just $4.95 for a flat rate shipping box, and go up a couple of sizes. Hey you would still have another 10 dollars! But NOOO... I am asking for the shipping charges back, I am going to try to get the plants into shape, so no need to refund that.
Am I wrong for expecting this much? I lost a good 50 dollars from this purchase from the plants/flask alone.
So what would you do?
