for eggs or live birds??

For eggs, use the priority boxes --the biggest one. And LOTS of packing stuff inside. I individually wrap my eggs with something like tissue paper/packing paper and then again with bubble wrap and then put styrofoam or more big bubble wrap around the inside of the box and place the wrapped eggs inside the 'nest'. Then cross my fingers. I also don't mark the box in anyway that it's something like eggs. Some people do, and some people don't. Is that the info you needed??

hope that helps!!

Live birds I don't know, so hopefully someone will pop in and say. I have yet to venture into shipping birds. They do make special ones for them that you have to order. That's 'bout all I know 'bout that.

Thanks for the egg info......I will keep that as I do plan on being able to ship eggs as well.

You want a single stall probably Horizon brand live bird shipping box. Or you can get a larger size.

There are other places to order but I found this man last wEd and he shipped the next day for me. should be here Tuesday. shipping for two boxes was $9.50 and prob would not increase much per box. They are laid out flat for shipping and you have to fold them.

Several people recommended this site but i could not get them to email me back even though others ordered last week just fine...........electronic glitch, i guess.
