My LFS doesn't have the best selection of plants and my local chain stores (petsmart and petco) don't have a very large selection either. In particular I'm Looking for pennywort and anarcharis. I have found them online but they are so expensive to ship and I have heard bad stories on getting dead or snail filled plants. Anyone know of a good place?

Tried the classifieds on this forum. 90% of my plants have come from members here.
 
I use Aquariumplants.com.

My favorite plant, Bolbitis heudelotii, came from there. Could never find it locally. My last shipment from there was pretty generous, too. I recall some extra stems and clusters of various things being in the bags ;)

i used to buy from there but their shipping got rediculous
 
It says online they (petsmart) have anacharis but went I go there they have mondo grass and bamboo. They have a decent selection of the packaged top fin plants. I bought a couple of those but they don't have ones I want.
 
I just ordered from peabodysparadise.com
My order literally just came in today.
I ordered a brazilian pennywort for $4.50
A java fern for $3
2 dwarf baby tears for $10
And they through in a ludwigia for free! Shipping is flat rate 7.50 2 day shipping. Havent planted them but they look good!
Theres a coupon code "get10" for 10% off order too :)

Came to $25
But I dont trust petco, and thats my only lfs. Talk about snail infestation!

Wow! That's awesome! Those plants do look great and super well priced. The one website I looked at was like $30 for shipping! Thanks for the coupon code! Yea, my prepackaged petsmart ones were snail free but they're expensive and very limited. (y)
 
I know most places I looked online were 19$ shipping and stuff.. crazy...
