    Looking for some shipping advice (money related, not packing related)

    Quote: That's the point, you don't need to use flat rate boxes. The medium flat rate box is only 5 1/2 inches high, the #4 box is 7 inches. The # 4 box is 7" X 7" X 6" high. I use them and double box them in #7 boxes. Yes I know Quote:

    Quote: I had a very bad experience with some eggs that were shipped to me in an egg carton, only one made it, and all the other people that sold me eggs had shipped with out the egg carton and they all have made it just fine. I will not ship eggs in an egg carton, cause I would't want t done...

    Quote: And you think a piece of bubble wrap will protect them? Seriously? Put some eggs in one of those boxes with bubble wrap on top of them then drop a gallon of milk on the box and see if they don't break. The #4 boxes cost about the same to ship a small amount of eggs as do the small flat...

    Quote: The small boxes are too small to use for eggs, except maybe button quail eggs. They are less than 2" tall so you wouldn't be able to pad the eggs very well. ETA: So even if someone ordered 1 dozen eggs from you, they'd still have to pay $10 shipping? My shipping fees are based on the...

    Quote: They don't ship them to your house? Mine come right to my house, the mailman even drives up the 1/4 mile driveway to deliver them so I don't have to pack them up from the box Oh sure they will, I just go there so much during the spring so pick them up. Plus they could get wet setting...

    Looking for some shipping advice (money related, not packing related)

    Quote: You have to ask to have them weighed and if the weight charge is cheaper then the flat rate charge - they will only charge you that. But you do have to ask them. Flat rate boxes are free, I was quoted a fee for the others. Maybe because my local PO is so teeny, they have a stocking...

    Quote: I've never had a flat rate box weighed, I was told that the flat rate boxes use the flat rate. Besides, the #4 and #7 boxes are bigger, why would you want to use flat rates?

    Looking for some shipping advice (money related, not packing related)

    Quote: Just a bit of a correction here. The large flat rate box is not the #7. The #7 box is 12"x12"x8", the large flat rate is 12"x12"x5". The large flat rate box is automatically $14.95 shipping regardless of the weight. The most expensive #7 boxed shipment I've sent was a little over $15...

    Looking for some shipping advice (money related, not packing related)

    The ebay lady was using shipping as a way to make more money off them. If you use the #4 box (7"x7"x6") it should cost around $5-$7. Heck, it doesn't really matter what box you use, as long as it's not the flat rate, those are ridiculously priced and should never be used to ship hatching eggs...
