How not to ship eggs!

[luvzmybabz]

This is one way not to ship eggs with wal mart plastic bags as packing cuchion and eggs wrapped in 2 paper towels each as cushion placed right next to each other in box. Out of a doxen 2 were smashed and 3 or 4 had hairline or possible hairline cracks.

I'm really sorry about your eggs. I am glad to know however, that the world dominance rumor about Walmart may not be 100% feasible....maybe you can scramble the eggs for breakfast?

I hope they didn't charge you for handling fees! I got some wrapped kind of like that once.....didn't make me happy!!

Kasi, you weren't kidding, that is bad. I'm sorry about your experience. I've never seen anyone do that. I agree, an excellent example of what NOT to do!

I have never seen eggs packed like that before

That's just a person being to cheap to buy the right packing materials. Small roll of bubble wrap is $6 at office depot might even be a little cheaper at walmart! Sorry about your eggs I had someone once only wrap the middle of the eggs and left the ends open. I could smell the box before it was handed to me. If it was me I wouldn't buy from them again.

I use extra heavy duty bubblewrap that Walmart doesn't even sell and I swear by it to get my eggs to where they're going without a hitch, as long as a truck doesn't run over the box. Seems like a lazy packer to me.

Shipping eggs can be very stressful.

I'm the same way, Mel. I sent 22 eggs from TN (I live near the state line in GA) to Washington State, paid $16 for Priority with confirmation. They sent them parcel post, instead! Took a solid week to get there! None cracked and no blown aircells, but she hasn't gotten to the first candling yet. In a case like that, packing can make all the difference, don't you agree?

I do agree - I will be sitting on pins & needles until "Henrietta66"
gets her eggs and tells me thay are OK..

And next time I will use my own stuff. I also don't like shipping 2 dozen.
I have a great system for sending a MAX of 16 silkies eggs.
Guess I am one of those people that can't change the details.
