Wasted $80 on a rare orchid that died in 2 weeks

I bought this super rare orchid from a random Etsy seller last month, $80 with shipping. Turns out it was already sick when it arrived, roots were all rotted and I didn't catch it in time. Has anyone else had bad luck buying plants from small online shops?

Read somewhere that a lot of those Etsy sellers buy in bulk from overseas wholesalers. Plants already stressed from shipping, then sit in a box for days.

Toss a heat pack in next time and check roots before buying like @claire64 mentioned lol.
