This actually just happened to me! I was planning on getting a couple of Phals from Kingfisher Orchids, but then I told him due to 'unexpected expenses' (aka 12 'chids from Cloud's!), I would have to wait a little while to pay for them. Well, last Sunday, sometime in the afternoon, I noticed that I got two emails from him, the earlier one with the picture of the plants, and him stating he was going to ship them Monday, and then one a few hours later saying that he already shipped them! Thankfully, being that he is a private grower, he is willing to wait for the money. The good thing though is that I pretty much have all the money I need.

Well that's a good thing. You have been lucky. Never buy to much at the same time anymore.
