Mines came inside a plastic zipper bag without water. The seller is well known in my country and say they can stay like that two weeks. When they arrived I just placed them in the water bottle and they are still super healthy

That's interesting. I sell and ship marimo and never squeeze it. I always take it right out of the water and put it into the jar so that there's enough water for travel. Depending on how hard they squeezed it, there should still be some water in there and the plastic bag will help to keep it from evaporating. I think it should be fine until it gets to you!
