They finally came (all DOA) on Sat afternoon. For the record Ideal was great to deal with and will issue me a full refund. Apparently this 3 day hold in TX by USPS affected thousands of chicks. My local feed store had 200 on order and only about 25 made it. We got the 3 BO chicks my husband...
I know that's what stinks.....I have been on a waitlist for these Polish since last year because they couldn't fill my order in the fall :( I just can't STAND my local USPS employees. Even the manager is a complete you-know-what. Wish I could have them sent to someone else just so I could use a...
Still no update for tacking.....They weren't here this AM was very rudely instructed by the manager to call back after 12.

Your item departed our USPS facility in AUSTIN, TX 78710 on March 4, 2015 at 5:13 am. The item is...
No chicks. The guy said that there is nothing he can do, no numbers to call...if they are dead tomorrow when they arrive he will ask his supervisor what to do.
I asked about the grogel and they told me if you add it they just tape it to the box (aka - it's not mixed up or available to them). They said it will spoil in the box, so it is just an add on for when you get home. I have Sav-A-Chick mixed up and crumbles ready to go for them in the car IF they...
Update as of 10:30 AM on USPS's main page -
Winter Storm Thor
The Postal Service is monitoring conditions as Winter Storm Thor moves from the Midwest and South to the East Coast. The storm is bringing snow, sleet and freezing rain, and may cause flooding in some areas.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. So will they be scanned coming OFF the plane in Philly? Or not again until after they are moved from the Airport to my Local PO? If off the plane they are not in the state. I REALLY think hope is lost until tomorrow. I normally wouldn't be so worried, but...
UGH! The not knowing is killing me
Still no updates via the PO or Tracking #. I am going to call in again in the next 15 mins or so, but if they aren't here are the 12:00 delivery they are stuck somewhere. I just don't understand why Ideal sent them early, and without checking with weather or...
Current info on PHL - Not looking good. Hope they are at least keeping the babies somewhere warm :(
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Due to the weather, there are delays and cancellations reported at PhiladelphiaInternational Airport.
Wednesday afternoon, the airport announced arriving flights are delayed...
Thanks! Yeah they have never really called me in a timely manner for adult birds, so figured chicks would be the same deal :/
Thanks for the chick offer! I will let you know! I have been keeping an eye on your ads...LOVE your NHs. A friend of mine keeps bringing up getting some Legbars from...
Thanks so much everyone!! I have been on the phone all morning....got the tracking number, which hasn't been updated since TX (of course), and they DID ship on the 3rd so a day early. I really wish Ideal would have checked with me OR the weather before rescheduling my ship date. VERY...
Yes, they are approved for non-bearded in standard.
So I just got off the phone with Ideal and they DID ship a day early. Assuming they are stuck somewhere due to the snow. The tracking number they gave me hasn't been updated since TX and I am not sure if the Philly airport is even open. They...
Yes from Ideal...so far I haven't been able to find any other places/breeders that have a different line. I am HOPING to add different bloodlines in also, just can't find any. I am SUPER worried today as we ended up with a crazy snowstorm and still expecting another 5-8". I am assuming this will...
