You might want to try deflasking them before you send them, in any case. It is really hard to ship flasks, and usually useless, because you have to deflask them almost immediately upon arrival. In most cases, the media gets all jumbled around during shipping, and covers upo the seedlings. Most seedlings in flasks have developed roots accustomed to one of two things.....either the seedling is used to having it's roots submerged in media, or it's used to being out of the media. The sudden mixup ends up smothering most of them in media, causing the seedlings to rot out. You are better off asking the sender to deflask them before sending them, and just wrap them in a moist paper towel. You will get a much higher survival rate. Good luck.
