Mail Order Issue...

I had orderd my 2 fawn and white runners and a female pekin for the week of june 26. The last time I ordered from Mcmurrays it took 3 days... Today is the 3rd day and no call... I called the post office and they dont have anything. Im super worried because the last time I orderd ducklings from here they arrived all dead :( I realllllly dont want this happening again and im worried that their going to be in transit too long... Could I recieve them tomarrow (saturday) ? Has anyone else had this happen to them? Am I worring over nothing? hmm.png

I didn't order from McMurray for this reason, I like going with Metzer's. Hopefully they show up today :(

I'd be worried too, have you called the hatchery to see what they say?  especially in this heat they sure don't need to be in transit long.  Hope you get some answers. fl.gif

I wish the hatcheries would pay attention to temperatures when shipping and not ship during the severe cold and heat.

Isn't that right, it's suppose to be into lower 90's here today I can't imagine the temps out of the mountains. It has to be extremely hard on Ducklings/gosling and chicks.
