Advice from a post office worker on shipping "fragile" things...

[redhen]

I recently shipped out some maple syrup to someone..and the PO worker told hubby to write "SYRUP" on the box...
Because if a box containing syrup breaks..its HELL on them. So i guess it has to be shipped differently..or its handled more gently...
She said she even writes "SYRUP" On any fragile boxes that she sends out....
Muhahhahahaha... good to know for shipping eggs!!

Awesome tip.

I would have never thought about that. I wonder what other goopy things might work?

LOL..i dont know...
But she said that if the box breaks open and the syrup gets on the equipment... its a big mess for them to clean up...
So..i bet they DO take it easy on "syrup" boxes...

This should be posted on the "Chicken Hatching Eggs - For Sale" section so sellers would know how to ship.
