I hope this is in the right section, but I really need to rant right now.
I bought eggs off of Ebay. I know that others have posted on here "Buyer Beware". Now I agree totally! I do have to say that I bought eggs off of Ebay from someone in Arizona a few weeks ago. I live in Pennsylvania, and ALL 15 eggs arrived in great condition! The aircells weren't perfect, but I understood that when I ordered them that the aircells may be affected from flying. Anyway, those eggs are developing fairly well. I am satisfied with that transaction.
OK, so the other day I saw some eggs on Ebay that I was interested in. I was "watching" them, but didn't bid. My husband thought he would surprise me, and bid on them, and won. I contacted this person and asked if the eggs would be shipped out soon after the auction was over. She replied once, and said they would be shipped out Monday. Monday night, I emailed her asking if they were indeed shipped out. Every other batch of eggs, I was sent a courtesy email along with a confirmation number. I ASSUMED this was how most people conducted business, but you know what they say about assuming! Anyway, yesterday (Wednesday) the eggs arrived. The guy delivering them told my husband that $5.40 postage was due, after we had paid this woman $12 for shipping!
Anyway, the eggs came from our neighboring state to the north. 8 eggs were sent. Only a few were wrapped in bubble wrap, the others were wrapped just in plastic grocery bags! 5 out of the 8 were broken, 3 weren't. However, one of the 3 "good" eggs is covered in feces. I understand where eggs come from, but I don't want to place a feces-covered egg in with my other eggs. It's not a little feces, it's a lot. Several of the broken eggs were also covered in feces. (Yuck! What a mess, feces and broken eggs. Nice surprise to receive in the mail!) I will wash it with warm water as per other posts.
I don't have eggs to sell yet. But if I do, I will NEVER conduct business like that! This lady won't get back to me about the $5.40 postage due. I've sent her a couple of emails already. She had 100% feedback from several hundred people. I guess that doesn't mean anything. If I don't hear anything back from her tonight, I'm contacting ebay.
Thanks for "listening". I needed to rant to others who would understand.
