I have my shipped to one of their distribution center( lake Geneva). They just call and say they are there. So I would just expect them to show up at your door soon.
They will be fine. I would give them a little shot of water on the roots, make sure they are damp. Keep them in the bag with it tied shut. Store them in a cool place out of direct sunlight. I have had some budding out and they did just fine. Dolgos are pretty tough trees also.
@ruskbucks - i'm interested in how the pears do, i thought you were in a pretty cold area? edit: noticed their website said all pears are on semi-dwarf rootstock, do you have any concern with that?
As far as standard rootstock for apples/crabs, wallace only really has dolgo, chestnut, and red baron that interest me. Would be nice if they had other wildlife trees!

My hunting land is in far NW WI. Border of 3/4. I had three pear trees up there. One is doing great. The other 2 died. I went with zone 3 trees this time instead of 4. I didn't notice the summercrisp was semi, I prefer standard. The other pear I ordered is standard. I bought a red anjo a few years ago planted it in s wi and it's doing great. It put out about 20 great looking purple pears last year.
