Do you have any resources for protecting my flowers during shipping so they last longer at retailers and for consumers?

Yes, during transport, plants experience a lot of stress and when plants are stressed they can release ethylene. Higher temperatures, enclosed spaces, and damage to the plants increase the ethylene concentrations in the shipping environment.
