Please help?!?!?!
 
When I get eggs in the mail, most end up arriving with very irregular, dislocated and/or abnormally large air cells. Most go on to hatch just fine

I had a really bad air cell in a goose egg this past spring. The air cell, upon candling, took up 70% of the egg. Gosling developed normally and hatched completely on his own. I guess it could depend case by case. But as the embryo grows, the inside on the egg, including the air cell, stabilizes. But until then, if the embryo is just beginning to develop (the first few days), it is best to leave the egg upright (big end up, where the air cell should be) and kept still for 2-3 days with no turning.

Don't give up hope on it yet. It can still very well hatch.
