I've ordered twice from Wekiva Foliage via Etsy: one Allagoptera arenaria and two small Rhapis excelsa (arrived as three, nice). I am very pleased. Pricing was not cheap, but not outrageous. Ordering was a breeze on Etsy using Paypal. There was like a 3 day gap before shipping, but then shipping was fast via USPS. Plants arrived in quite excellent condition--really impressive, some of the best I've seen. They have settled in quickly. Recommend Wekiva. Here they are potted up.

Wekiva Foliage is good to go ordered from them twice, healthy palms and well packaged.

Yep they're pricing is on the higher end but they always ship healthy palms.

They're one of my three "go to" palm sellers on etsy.

DharmaDarling (has some very rare stuff), PalmpeiiNursery, and Wekiva Foliage are all excellent.

I ordered a Sentry Palm on 4/26/25. I have called and left a message, called several time (no answer) and sent an email asking for an update. No call back or response to my email as of today 5/7/25. Should I be concerned or is this typical for this company?

Did you purchase through Etsy? That extra layer usually ensures speedy fulfilment and you have financial recourse if you have no action on your order. I have purchased through Wekiva via Etsy and if I remember correctly everything was quick and high quality, and also per the other experiences noted above, so your situation seems unusual.

I order right on the website.

I called my bank today to see if they can reach them. I have left voicemails, sent an email and chatted on their website.  Order placed 4/26/25 and no updates or responses. Will have to try a different nursery. I so want to replace the Sentry palm that I grew from seed back in 1999 and grew as a house plant. Got a puppy that chewed it up. Luckily puppy did not get sick.
