Yes, Claire, you are absolutely right! 
Since that post, I received several more inquiries. Because the weather is
mild now, I think I can ship them to the southern states. What bothers me
is a huge X-mas mail traffic. I fear, I sound like a broken record, but it
is a truth.
I will still have orchids to repot in spring, and that will be a better
time to ship them.
