Got the spangled gene in there somewhere!!! Prolly from blue wheaton side.
I hatched out 15 maran eggs from my mother...

How do you package them? I tend to package the ones I send for free in about a ton of bubble wrap. First tissue, then two layers of bubble wrap, cradled in tightly packed newspaper. If it is more than 9, otherwise I use the tube.

I ship eggs (for science projects, tests, etc.) in a tube. Holds about 9 eggs and using the gigantic bubble wrap, them babies aren't moving for nothing. The few times I have shipped the hatch rates were good. Of course, sending more eggs requires a different method than the priority...

My one to california tomorrow would have cost almost 2 times as much if I sent if UPS. I definitely LOOKED at this option!
Hmm interesting... Are there other alternatives with shipping? Seems like some eggs are so expensive a little more in shipping would be worth it if they could be...

What state are you in and what kind of eggs do you have? (hatchaholic here, due 2/3 with no more eggs)

I get really annoyed with buyers (and I am a buyer, not seller) that assume the seller packed badly when the PO is KNOWN for playing soccer with the packages. They will not insure hatching eggs, and there are just as many jerks in the postal service as there are in the rest of the world.
I can tell you this. Any seller I have purchased eggs from that that post office was at fault for damage has ALWAYS resent eggs to me without my requesting them.
As for post offices around the nation, a person would have to know the route that was being taken to determine where the problem lies.
