Some of the leaves were browning when arrived but that's expected for a cutting traveling through mail. They arrived in better condition than I expected, though they are a bit shorter than I thought they would be.
Appreciate the lead weights to help with planting. Seller took notes of other reviews and improved packaging. They were damp in a sealed plastic bag and mailed in a box to protect them.
Just put them in the tank with root tabs yesterday but looking forward to seeing how they'll do.
***Couple of weeks later and they have gone through the new tank shock and leaves melting and now are starting to come back. Growth slow so far but coloring has gone from mix of yellow and green to a nice vibrant green. Happy with the purchase. I did get copepods in my tank after adding these plants but it's not a huge deal. They'll clean the tank and my Betta may figure out they're there and try to eat them.***

Edit: (Original review below.) After contact with the seller, I received replacement plants, packaged much better, no broken terracotta or knotted leaves. New pictures added. Will raise rating higher if plants survive the next few days as the last ones melted to nothing within a day.
First, it said it was delivered Friday, it wasn't delivered until Monday.
Second, the plant was a mess when I opened it. The leaves were knotted up in themselves and were already starting to melt.
Third, there was some kind of terracotta ring that I assume was meant for protection but was broken into thirds and was doing more harm than good. (The box was undamaged so I doubt it was from shipping.)
Four, I think there may be snail eggs on one of the leaves. Not a big deal for me, my tank has bladder snails I added, but for others may not be wanted.
After having them planted for a few days they've lost all structure and I'm not sure I'll be able to save any of them.
Edit: All three are dead. Added pictures. (Third plant basically dissolved to nothing which is why it is not pictured.)

I have bought Val from reputable lfs and it's beautiful brilliant green. I gave it a try because the picture made it look beautiful and brilliant green. What arrived in the mail however was mainly yellow and melted with little to no root. I trimmed it down and planted it anyway. Let's see what happens!
