I have never heard of them but they sure have some interesting plants, don't they?
If you do it I'd definitely be interested in hearing your feedback.

Unless someone can recommend them, I would be careful. New, unknown vendors are always a risk so never spend too much money the first time you buy anything, not more money than you are willing to lose. If you do discover that the vendor is highly recommended, keep in mind that the vendor is in Asia and there could be delays in shipping in some parts of Asia so you might want to call to see what the situation is with shipping to the US. You wouldn't want live plants to encounter a long delay. 
If the vendor comes to the US for orchid shows and the shows resume this fall, they might be able to bring your orchids into the country and ship them to you (ensuring they don't get lost in the foreign post).
Good luck!

Gracias Leafmite! Your wise words. I came to my senses and did a VERY small bit of research later in the day. Read this to mean I went back to drool on the website. And I know better than to drool on orchids for sale early in the day. SMH.
There's no indication on the website of where they're located. I assumed US. (yes, you know that old saying, right?)
They are from Thailand. Very small message at top of their home page: COVID19. Crisis affects Thailand post has Suppend airmail, e-Package, EMS, Shipment Postpone.
But they have so many cool orchids! And some great prices... I guess.... didn't get as far as looking at shipping. Ain't going there regardless.
All this because I really want a Den. lindleyi at a good price. Where's the smack my head emoji when ya need it?

I checked out the website, and noticed they sell Dipodium paludosum. I have a friend who would greatly appreciate one, so I went through the process of ordering, right up to the point of payment. Not one mention of phytosanitary certification. Nope.

Yes I do! But COVID happened. And no one delivery company can't shipping in Russia from Thailand. I choose some terristerial and epiphitic orchids.
I think it is good vendor. But I don't received anything because COVID |

Timing is everything, isn't it? I'll just keep looking on stateside. Much easier on the wallet.
