    Quote: Thank goodness that is settled, at least. I think the original question had more to do with wondering whether the eggs needed oxygen on their journey. No scientific advice from anybody, but lots of experience with success (and failure) with or w/o bubble wrap as far as cushioning goes...

    To Bubble wrap Or not to Bubble wrap?

    I just thought of another reason I like to ship eggs in an egg carton. When I wrap them, I place each egg pointy end down. If the box travels right side up (? who knows, but it is at least possible), then the eggs will have been getting oriented to incubation-position during their journey. Eggs...

    Quote: I do use Flat Rates for bantam eggs (in cartons) but have never had a problem with feeling like they are too small/cramped. Another good idea, given on a chat list recently where this same discussion was held, is to "double box"--put the entire, well-packed box down into another larger...

    My feeling is that, as long as the eggs are "secure" and not jostling too much, they will be fine. What I focus on in my shipments is how to do it in as environmentally friendly way I can. So, I begin by wrapping each egg in a paper napkin or small section of paper towel and I tuck each of...
