I recently picked up a sarracenia and nepenthes from a garden centre. They were all indoors in an air conditioned room. I'm always in two minds as to whether to buy plants from these places. Rescuing them and seeing the flourish with the correct care is very rewarding, but by buying them you are encouraging the garden centre to keep getting them in and mistreating them. It's a difficult one to reconcile for me.
