Indeed. I'm a big fan of them. I usually import them through a broker, just to be sure they don't get stuck at customs.

USPS maybe less expensive but it's almost a 7 days or more wait receiving plants from Asia. Every step there is a minimum of one day wait. 3-4 days from Asia. 1 day at US custom. 1-2 day at agriculture and another 1-2 day mail to me via postal service
With custom broker the turn around can be as little as one day
12 hours time difference means that the plane depart Taiwan can arrive US on the same day.
Us custom clearance is done in the morning and agriculture is done in the early afternoon. Then then plants are shipped and arrive to you that evening.
Custom broker fee is $375-$425 for one shipment. So this is only worth it if you buy enough plants to make it practical.

Well that's nice but the chance of getting Australian terrestrials is about 0% at this point!

That's very true, unfortunately.
