Yes, and thank you for asking. The rhizomes are ready to be planted as soon as possible once they arrive.
In my own experience I have kept rhizomes alive for a couple of weeks by treating them like bare root trees -- shallowly burying or "heeling in" the roots, and making sure they don't completely dry out.
Thank youuuuu. That is so helpful. I ordered a few rhizomes off eBay a month or so ago but was terrified of killing them by planting them outside just as freezing temps roll in. Of course now I'm afraid I killed them indoors anyhow. Might order from you and give it another go. I just had a really hard time finding information about how to grow them from rhizome outside academic papers from agricultural schools which are way higher tech than me. Thank you again for your overview.
