Shipping Plants "In The Green" Causing Dormancy?

Hi Guys :)

I've received a few plants this summer shipped in the green, will this cause
a plant to go dormant? A few of them arrived with just yellow tips and slowly
the rest of the bulb seems to be going dormant, has anyone else noticed this
happening? I guess if they're bare root and dark that would throw them into
dormancy! I'm fairly new to bulbs other than the usual and I'm worried that
they wont come back :( The ones I have that are yellowing are Brunsvigia
Grandiflora, Clinanthus Variegatus and Rauhia Decora! Obviously I've re-potted
them all in very well draining mixes with Crushed Granite, Fir Bark, Charcoal,
Pumice and Promix, it drains very well and I'm using wicks in the bottoms of the
pots to keep them from holding too much water in the bottoms.

Thanks Guys :)

Sorry if this question seems really dumb :( I'm learning!
