Depends on when your shipped eggs get there and how sure you are that she is broody.... when we got our shipped eggs (a Friday afternoon) we set them in a cool room to 'rest' till the next morning, then we set them in our dining room to begin to warm, they rested there till late Saturday afternoon when we gave them to Gracie. We had been keeping her 'practicing' on dummy eggs till the shipped eggs came in and were ready...
That worked for us, but you need to decide if you want to have her sit on them for you or incubate them yourself. If you do give them to her then at least you can put them back into the bator if she changes her mind or you do.
I can't offer any advice on moving eggs from a bator to a broody, I don't know what the temp change might be or if it effects them.
