It's definitely good to get advice from the seller of the eggs who is local since you are more likely to incubate in a similar environment being in the same area, however house conditions do vary by quite a lot sometimes so it is very important that you track your air cell growth and adjust the humidity as needed.
I live in humid TN and incubating in the spring/summer around 30% usually works best for me (sometimes a little lower), closer to 40% works best in the winter. I always track air cell progress to decide the humidity I need. I'd highly recommend taking a look at this diagram and see if your air cells are on the right track. A little too big is a lot safer for the chick than a little too small, if those air cells don't grow enough it can lead to a lot of deaths at lockdown.
