I have worked with some great egg shippers. I'm having trouble with a transaction right now and wondered if I could pick your brains?
On July 28, I contacted a gal I've bought from on eggbid once before. (She did a great job in the past transaction.) This time it was not an eggbid transaction. I asked her if she had eggs available to send me to put under my broody hen ASAP, she said "yes, I can ship tomorrow."
On Aug 2, she wrote and said she was late sending, had not been able to gather enough eggs to ship, but would the following day.
Today is Aug 7, so when they didn't come today, I told her I was worried that they were out there in the heat too long and would she make this right to me *if* they don't come by tomorrow.
She kinda threw a fit, then calmed down and told me she would ship another batch (free eggs, but express shipping at my expense). She did not purchase tracking confirmation for the late eggs and she has not actually said whether she has a receipt for the shipping at all.
I don't want to be unreasonable, but I've had this little broody hen waiting on these eggs for 11 days as of tomorrow, which feels like an outside limit to me, and I'm getting upset.
What would you all do?
