HELP! Chicks aren't here at post office and it's day 3!

[Campine Lover]

What do I do?????? They were supposed to be shipped overnight express BUT THEY WEREN'T! Stupid hatchery!
They were sent 9 am on Wednesday, and now its 10:30 am on Friday. They probably hatched on Tuesday!!!! All the mail arrives at my post office at 8:00 am, so that means they aren't arriving today!!! I've waited since mid may to get these babies, and I do not want them to die!!!!

Does that mean they are at the airport?!?!
Are you allowed to go get them there? Please, please please help/ advise! (they do not have a shipping #. WHAT A STUPID #%^$##$%^% Hatchery!

I am a newbie so don't have an anwer but I do hope that you get and answer. Praying your babies are ok.

They may still come!! Keep your fingers crossed!!!!! Did you call the hatchery to see if they could give you any more information?

 

[crtrlovr]

which hatchery? Have you called them yet? Did you make sure they put your phone # on the outside of the shipping box? Is there another larger post office somewhere near you that may have them? I hope you find your babies alive and well... this long delay with this heat doesn't add up to a promising end...

And have you called the post office to verify that they did not arrive? I know when mine came, the post office didn't call till late morning/early afternoon. I thought they hadn't come, either, but they were there. I hope you track them down quickly.

I would for sure be calling the hatchery and PO.

I'm not sure where you are, our day-olds came from Iowa, To New Jersry, Shipped on Fri got a call Sunday Morning at 7:30 From USPS sectional. We hot footed up there and picked ours up. 1 1/2 hrs away. You may want to find out where your sectional is and give them a call. Take a deep breath start calling. Your angry, be courteous. I hope for the best for you. Majority of hatcherys ship same day hatching.

I know this is really important to you, Campine Lover, but you need to stick to one thread on this topic only, okay?
