[marie_martin]

I hope you get yours today as well. I think I will go ahead and set them late this evening before bed. Since they have been in the mail so long. I don't want to wait any longer to put them in. Will let you know how it goes.

I am so glad they finally got there! I pack them as well as I can so I hope they are all in good condition! Let me know when you get home and open them up if they are all ok! Now lets keep our fingers crossed that they all hatch!!! I Still didnt get my eggs that were send to me from my friend in NY which in only 4 hours away!!!! She sent them out last wednesday, and here it is Monday, and they still arent here and wont get here till at least tomorrow! I dont know what is going on! Usually I get them on the second day when she sends them to me. Its so aggravating! Just keep me posted on how they do!

I will jen. I looked at them as well as I could here and all look fine so far. I don't see any wet spots or sticky. That is a good sign. I will set them late tonight before bed. Keep your fingers crossed. I hope you get your tomorrow. I think the PO took the whole week off instead of one day for Columbus day!! Geesh!

Good for you Katy. Let us know how it goes. We will be hatching together!! What are you putting in? I have silkies and a few faverolles from jaynie knight and a few of my faverolles pullet eggs which probably wont hatch, and are a mix. Keep us updated. Hope you get yours tomorrow Jen.

I'm putting in some BLRW and a few blue marans....I already have a few SLW and some of my own cuckoo marans which I put in on saturday.

I sometimes wonder why the post office takes so long, my goodness. Congrats and good luck on your hatch.

I did ask the post office about something I was sending out on an Ebay auction I had, they were tickets that needed to get there immediately. The postal workers actually told me delivery confirmation slows things down, I was just stunned at this information.

Why on earth would that be since they wear a scanner on their belts and it takes a split second to scan a barcode? Sounds like an excuse to me. They always have one. Yeah, they charge more money for certain services they dangle like a carrot in front of you, but never intend to really deliver them. They just get more money. No guarantee guarantees. SO why charge more for anything? Oh, better not get started on the P.O., I guess. They have a monopoly and do whatever they feel like and get away with it, like no other business could.

Hey, I work at the post office!!

I don't see why it would slow anything down. The delivery confirmation is scanned at each location the package arrives at so you can trace it's steps. If a package stalls for some unknown reason they can find it more quickly. I don't actually work at one of the larger hubs so maybe there is something I don't know about the dc's. I know all carriers are not the same but I try to treat my customers the way I want to be treated in return. And wish all carriers would do so. But I know what ya mean. Sorry though didn't mean to get off topic! When I ordered mine I ordered chicks and were worried to death til I peeked in and they were all ok. I know ordering eggs would be nervewrecking!
