frustrating, priority mail tracking!

I've shipped a lot of eggs and I've never yet been able to ship a package for only $4. On average the packages of eggs I ship cost me $13-14 dollars to ship with delivery confirmation. That doesn't take into account the money I spent on bubble wrap and tape.

yeah, the person who shipped my eggs (the ones that have come so far)......had the eggs in an egg carton, with shredded newspaper......then bubblewrapped the whole carton....THEN put this insulation around the whole package. very well packed! but was it weird that the eggs were packed pointy side up? i've since put them pointy side down to rest....and i've been tipping the carton to "turn" them.

To avoid having the eggs left on the door step, I do use the "tracking number" and estimated time of arrival and start calling the PO. they now know me and I'm on a first name basis with my carrier. they know to look for my package usually marked "eggs" and hold it for me to pick up. I have to do this on my lunch hour as they are only open 10 am to 4 pm and this is not out in the country my town shares a city limits line with the capital city of NC.

I think the Eggs I got are going to be alright. I candled some last night and it looks like there is something starting to grown in the few that I checked.

As far as the cost for shipping eggs, $13 - $16 seems fair to me. It's a lot of work to pack eggs, to make sure the eggs are not broken takes a lot of time to wrap and cost a few bucks for the bubble wrap and the other stuffing. The two people that shipped eggs to me did an outstanding job of making sure they did not get damaged.

WOW! now i'm worried! out of 3 shipments of eggs ordered, i've only received one! 2 were mailed out Monday (one of which i have received), and one was mailed out tuesday. still nothing. i went ahead and put the one shipment of eggs in the bator today. i can't have them waiting around for the others to arrive. i know there's nothing anyone here can do about it....i just want to
