3/11 update: updating to 5 stars. There was a note in the box about how the plant might be a little moody post arrival 😅
I decided that 47 was going to be the age when I keep houseplants alive. The last time I kept a plant alive (and it THRIVED) was 2000-2001 so, yeah, I'm up against the odds. That said, it was an ivy plant that did really well and that I loved having. After several plantless years, I was ready. I could not find a single ivy plant locally (yay, rural america!) so I decided to take the plunge and order this one from Amazon. I was a bit anxious.
The plant arrived very-well packaged. I unwrapped it carefully, checked the soil, gave it a little water and set it in my bedroom. A few days later it was droopy and miserable. I read somewhere recently that if an ivy plant looks underwatered, it's probably overwatered and if it looks overwatered, it's probably underwatered. The soil was very dry and yet, to me, the droopiness looked like the plant was saturated. I watered it and within 36 hours it had perked right up.
I later read on a site that ships plants that they sometimes have a slight adjustment phase, so that's my assumption here.
A bit pricy for a houseplant but considering I had zero options, I was fine with that. I then found two random ivy plants in the florist section of our locally grocery store and was very happy about that.

English Ivy
When this arrived, I had a mess inside of the box. Most of soil had fallen out of the cup and luckily there was enough moisture soil holding onto the roots. It's a great size for a starter. I have a few suggestions as far packing and shipping. Maybe the box could be labeled better so it stays upright throughout the shipping process. The soil could have been packed in the cup better IMO. Also, maybe you could use plastic wrap around the opening of the cup so the soil stays in place better. The packing peanuts in the box did not help secure the plant in the box. Overall, I'm satisfied with my plant after getting her all fixed up

Judging from the pics, I expected this vine to be big, and lush. I didn’t realize the seller posted pics of mature plants. What you receive in the mail pales in comparison to advertised pics. I wouldn’t repeat this purchase.
