Thank you for asking. =] All of them are doing right as rain now and nobody has any issues at all. The golden buff got over her "jet lag" or "transport terror" very quickly. :)
I'm so sorry that your chicks didn't make it to you alive and healthy. That's my biggest fear about ordering chicks in the mail...you just never know how they will be handled or by whom or where they'll end up, etc. I hope you have a much better experience next time you order live chicks!! :(
Thank you very much.
I went to check on their water a few minutes ago and the golden buff was *sort of* standing. When she heard me walk in the room she plopped back down on her side - makes me wonder if she's faking it. I don't think chickens know how to manipulate though. They're...
I thought about that, but in all honesty, they included an apology note when they didn't have to (the original starting facility) and they admitted they goofed. There was only 1 obnoxious worker I spoke with yesterday (and I spoke with quite a few USPS reps). 99% of them were very accommodating...
The error occured in Mansfield when they didn't send them out when they were supposed to (the last shipout of the day at 5pm). Somehow the were forgotten and sat on one of the desks throughout the evening and into the night, through to the next morning. They stepped up their game above and...
I asked USPS about printed labels. She said it's not possible and those shipping labels printed by the shipper do not record anything as being sent or received, only the USPS can do that. She said she almost wished it were possible because then it could be someone else's fault...but she said...
How do people lose a package with holes in it that says LIVE FOWL on it in 72 font and the box is peeping??
...still absolutely nothing in the tracking information.
Thanks, but I'm not hopeful at all. I called the three postal locations that they'd go through before coming here and *none of them* have any live fowl for this area, or had any yesterday. IT took me until almost 6pm to even get the third location on the phone. One of them was flat-out rude...
You know what? Come to think of it - I think that man was yanking my chain on purpose. We actually *have* ordered live fish (and coral and anemones) in the past when we had a reef tank...they *never held them* at the post office, they just deliver those with the regular mail. He should know...
Nope..no chicks. I did call the post offices in town (all of them) and nobody got any live fowl in today. I also called the post office in the two locations in the route prior to our post office and they didn't get any live fowl today either. I'm not hopeful, because the second of the two is a...
We have two easter eggers and 1 golden buff that are stuck somewhere - nobody knows where they are. All they can tell me is that they were entered into the system at noon yesterday, and according to the USPS they were still at that same post office at 4:15am *this* morning, only when they...
