I received above and beyond service with this vendor. The original plant I ordered arrived with a broken vine. I contacted the seller for recommendations on whether it could be salvaged. There was no hesitation in them offering to send me a replacement and even wished me luck with my attempt to regraft the vine. Just a couple days later I received the replacement and it was packed to perfection. Unscathed and a beautiful specimen. Thanks CactiMarket
