I ordered my first batch of eggs in the mail and they were in perfect condition. Box was not damaged at all. I ordered only one state away though. So, that may have help some.

OMG...the tax thing is bad enuf, but my post office here had a habit for a while of returning my mail & saying I moved. I missed a court date & ended up in jail for a weekend because I never received my mail!!!! Trust me, I raised HOLY HELL!!! They were returning everything if I didn't get up there to get my mail EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! This was when I was sick & was in the middle of winter. They were also doing it when I was pregnant & on bed rest & had someone getting my mail for me a couple times a week. Yes, I lived in an apartment complex, but still...to return someone's mail & say they moved just because they don't get it for 2-3 days???? Rediculous!!!! Post office here knows me WELL now. I think they are afraid of me...LOL I threatened to have people fired.Cases like that should get at leased a refund of the shipping cost! There is no reason that anyones package should be treated so poorly whether it was fragile or not! That should be taken up with a supervisor and pictures should be given to them. If they gave a **** at all then they would appreciate your concern offer you a refund and take the matter to their superiors! Something really needs to be done about that. If it doesn't get brought up to them then nothing will ever be done to fix the problem.... Its not really about the refund its more about the fact that they should be held accountable for their gross negligence in their handling of your package. I have both received and sent a couple that got a damaged corner here or there but I have never seen anything like that! Its shocking to say the leased!
I always write "LIVE EMBRYO" AND "FRAGILE" "HANDLE WITH CARE" I actually give my oldest daughter red/blue/green and orange markers and let her go to town writting on the boxes for me then its bright and loud and really stands out. I have had an egg broken I think 1 time ever here recently and I question the validity of that I think the reciever may have accidentally broke it when unwrapping but didn't want to take responsibility for it. I have received broken eggs twice and both were from a state or 2 over while the ones coming from east coast to west coast all arrive in better condition usually. I think MT is the worst. bothe times I got eggs from 2 different people there and they were both packaged pretty well I believe, they had broken eggs inside. Either way no matter what a box says or where it comes from it still should be better taken care of.
Just like lost mail, well the post office looses my mail all the fricken time especially if its something important like from irs..... I got audited last year and the irs said they sent me 3 different things and I never got a single 1 of them..... Those were extremely important documents that needed to be returned and if I didn't then I could have gone to jail for tax evasion all because the dumb post office lost my mail!!!! Then would the post office pay for my fines and lawyers fees to get me out.... NO! luckily I stayed in touch with the IRS but they didn't believe the post office lost all 3 I am sure, at leased they were nice about it and gave me extensions...... When is the post office going to step up and take responsibility for the damage? If we don't complain and drive them crazy it will keep happening!!!
Just my 2 cents here sorry to complain it just makes me soooo maddd!
I've gotten live fish (salt water and fresh), reptiles (chameleons, snakes, iguanas, geckos, frogs, bearded dragons, turtles and tortoises), and feeder insects (roaches, crickets, silkworms, waxworms and mealworms)Has anyone here ever sent/received live shipments of small animals such as fish, reptiles, insects? How are those sent safely?
