Default Mail order plants Any problems?

Anyone experience with buying veggie plants through mail order? What

places
are more reliable?

It's *very* expensive compared to buying the starts locally. (Most local
tomato plants average $1.59 for a 6 pak, or $1 for a 4" single pot) It's
also very easy to start whatever you want in flats yourself and save time
and money and expand your selection dramatically. Most mailorder places
don't have a great selection of plants, wheras they do offer nice selections
in seed.

There's a lot of reasons to NOT do this that I can think of, and I'm trying
hard to think of why you would want to choose mailorder over local, even if
you don't want to start seeds yourself.
