OK, I bought a bunch of eggs. Had to wait since the hens weren't cooperating, no problem. Got the eggs the next week. No tracking # so just waited.
Now the problem. Box came in on Saturday, looked good. Opened it, WOW, it stank! (Actually had to take it outside!) Goo everywhere. Now the eggs were well packed and even tho the goo was on all the packing, the eggs looked safe and dry, wonders never cease. OK so one smashed egg, so I candled all, for air cells and cracks.
3 of the eggs were dark , slouchy and only half full (I took pics). I cracked each in a bowl, brownish, chunky and stank!! (I took pics) So they smelled like the goo in the box.
One cracked egg, chalk it up to PO.
BUT I paid for FRESH eggs. I sent a polite note to the seller, I'm sure one of the kids helped gather and accidentally found an old nest or something. OK , so I asked the seller if they would replace the 4 rotten eggs. No reply.
I am a little concerned about the other eggs possibly being contaminated, we were very careful unpacking, but I took the precaution of putting them in the Hova by themselves, with a couple of my EE's as "control".
Yes, I could simply bash them in the feed back, but I'd rather settle this. I pm'ed on Monday, checked and they have been on here at least twice and have not responded to my pm. I could post the pics, I offered to send the pics to the Seller as proof if they wanted.
Good Grief, all I want is what I paid for, fresh eggs. This is not a "Shipped eggs are a gamble" thing. I get that. And I'm sure it was not done on purpose. The least they could do is respond. I hate to post the pics and do a negative feed back. But they seem to not care, which would leave me no choice. If this is the way they do business, I will warn others.
Thoughts???
