So we were supposed to receive a dozen hatching eggs in the mail today, delivered to our PO box, because I figured it would be the safest place to send them.
According to the tracking number, it was delivered yesterday at around 10am. We arrived and they weren't there. The USPS says to wait 24 hours because sometimes it says delivered when it's close to being delivered.
23 hours later, nothing. We go the the USPS post office to find out where the heck these eggs are.
Apparently, they WERE delivered, but then another driver accidentally picked the package back up again and is now on another truck out on deliveries.
The USPS says we won't see them until at least tomorrow or the day after because they will have to attempt a second delivery as they were sent to the other side of the state.
As of today, these eggs are about 5 days old already, and I tried to express to them the importance of receiving them ASAP, but they can't do anything, it has to be delivered a second time.
I'm really worried that by the time we get them, they'll be out if the window, and beyond that, the fact that it's been accidentally picked up again I think they've probably been thrown about a bunch and worsen their condition.
These were the eggs I won from the Chicken Poop Bingo, not ones I ordered. I'll have to contact SpitzBros and let them know what happened, but I'm at a loss on how to deal with the postal service.
We're in contact with the management, but if those eggs turn out to be damaged or otherwise no longer viable, what can we do? They weren't specifically insured to my knowledge, and only have the "Up to $100 insurance included. Restrictions Apply".
I'm just kind of really frustrated and at a loss as to what to do if I do need to have insurance replace those.
Update:
Eggs received! Gotta candle them asap when we get home and check for cracks or signs of excessive mishandling.
