That's when all mine hatched last time!

Eggs were wrapped in bubble wrap and in the shavings big end up. These were packed very tight. I had to really dig to get them all out. The supports are incredibly strong. Then it also had tin foil on the top and bottom. They guy who shipped is an old timer (like real old timer not Oz old timer) and he has been doing it this way forever and has had good luck with it. I have 15 out of 19 in lockdown so I think it works well.

Thanks Chics! This makes me feel better about the shavings but I still asked him to double box hopefully he understood my second explaination. I tried to paste the pic Sally put up but whenever I copy & pasted it was a picture of a lil chick!!?? Anyways thanks

I like that method of shipping.

One more comment - negotiating how to ship eggs should be done before the transaction is agreed upon - not after. 

I now will email the seller on how they ship before I bid.

That's exactly what I do too, but I preordered these almost 3 months ago and they were my very first shipped eggs I ever purchase! So I hadn't met any of you knowledgable people yet to know better

Your over achiever chicks are making me anxious for mine to start hatching. I have nothing but rocking. I thought I heard a peep earlier but probably the birds outside.
