Default Frozen Vanda Rinka

I bought this plant last week, but it wasn't shipped until monday. Somewhere along the line it was left in he cold for an extended period of time. The box had multiple stickers on it that indicated that there ware live plants inside, but nobody cares. Anyways can anyone tell me what they think about the plant? Will it survive?

It does look terrible but it should survive.

That's sad, it's such a healthy looking plant otherwise.
I would think that if it doesn't drop all the leaves and the roots didn't freeze it may have a chance of surviving. Doesn't seem like the main stem froze, but it could be that it's hard to tell from the pics. If you feel the stem going mushy, it's probably hopeless.

I have that horrible feeling that its a formal good bye to this plant. Unless you can get it to grow a keiki from the bottom.

Such a nice plant
If mine I would remove any damage when it gets mushy see what you have left if any good leaves and the stem is not soft and roots history . Then I would continue to care for it until the fat lady sings .
If not a total lost cause it might grow new from the top and roots higher up then at some point you can top it. That is just me , but it is not promising
