Question for people who ship big eggs like goose eggs.  I've shipped goose eggs twice now, and each package has lost one egg.  I'm wrapping eggs in bubble wrap, putting paper and/or styro peanuts or more bubble wrap between them, then double wrapping and using bubble wrap and/or scrunched paper between the boxes.  What else can I try?  Do larger eggs travel harder?  Or easier, and I'm really missing something?  Maybe try pipe insulation around the eggs??  I'm not sure how much space is idea between the inner and outer boxes, but I even used a bigger box with more padding space and shipping was $10 more and still had an egg lost.  :/

Just want to do all I can so folks get the eggs they want in as good a shape as possible!!!
Thanks for any more ideas for me to try!

Sorry, wish I could help. The largest eggs I've sent are Muscovy. I have bought those foam floaters for pools, or pool noodles, and used those... Worked pretty good on these off sized eggs. Don't know that I would fully recommend it but its worth a shot.

I haven't shipped goose eggs, just chicken and turkey, but I wrap the eggs in paper towels, and then bubble wrap. I line the boxes with a couple layers of the big bubble wrap, and I pack the eggs themselves with shavings, which keeps them upright and provides a LOT of padding. I pack the shavings in pretty tight. Shavings are much tighter than scrunched paper.

Some people line the boxes with foam plastic. You might want to look into that for those big eggs.
