I'm thinking about ordering around seven plants from a vendor in Korea, but I'm worried about them getting damaged by the cold during shipping. Would you recommend placing my order now or should I hold off for another month or two? I've been waiting a while and I'm really eager to get these plants! Also, I'm unsure if the vendor provides heat packs, but I doubt they would keep warm for long enough in transit.

Check with the vendor if they offer heat packs. But even if they do, I don't think they'd keep the plants warm for the entirety of the journey. It's a tricky situation!
I'd suggest waiting a bit longer. The weather isn't reliably warm enough right now, and since international shipping can take at least two weeks, I wouldn’t risk ordering just yet. Heat packs don't usually last more than a few days in shipment, so they might not even help.
Yeah, I have my doubts about the heat packs lasting long enough too!
