I had a similar experiece with some rare D Uccle eggs. I paid $58 for 6 eggs on ebay and was sent eggs that looked like they belonged to a cockatiel! They were that tiny, none were fertile either. No bullseye in any of them, a couple did not even have yolks!!!!! The seller offered me 3 more eggs for $25 plus shipping. I asked if they thought I was crazy!
I filed a claim with paypal and they had the nerve to tell me that they did not get involved with the quality of an item!
I paid for fertile hatching eggs, got infertile pullet eggs but they won't do anything. This made me furious. I won't buy off ebay any more!

The agreement of the sale was that you paid for 12 eggs of 2 different breeds. You didn't get that. Therefore, you have the right to complain.

I would report to paypal about not getting the amount of eggs ordered.. And for the type..

Now for the breakage.. I have shipped out 3 batches of eggs.. First time. No broken eggs.. Second time, wrapped the same, 2 broke.. Third time.. About 6-8 were broke.. All wrapped the same. Good thing I put alot of extra in that box.. But the people who got the third box said they witnessed the postal worker throw the box onto their porch. So the P.O. was at the fault for those broken ones.. So broken eggs are not always the fault of the shipper.. I wrapped the eggs as if I would like some one to wrap eggs to ship to me.

I dont know how well the hatches were. The people never let me know. And I did a test hatch at home and got 100%

A friend of mine lives in a town 30 minutes north of me. We bought eggs from the same person in Washington State.. She got one to hatch, and one egg broke from that shipper. My eggs had to travel 30 minutes more.. None were broke, 11 out of 18 hatched..

This is just one example.. I bet others on here have their own stories.. My experiance with shipped eggs were good.. But my next time may be a total flop.. The risk we take.

Well folks, please allow me to add my 2 cents.
First are chicken eggs really so rare that a seller can not replace eggs?
There is a song called "Waiting for the World to Change". Why the heck should we "Wait" why not change it ourselves, with a little kindness.
Good garden o' peas, they're chicken eggs not diamonds! Are a few extra eggs for insurance really gonna break the bank? Heck even the hatcheries throw in a couple free chicks now and then. A lot more work/cost goes into hatching those little buggers ya know.

Lastly, I worked for the post office and believe me the way some people pack things, I'm not surprised when things are destroyed. Even when I strongly advised people agains shipping the package with scotch tape they insist on shipping it. No matter what the clerk tells you wrap the darn thing in brown paper and make sure there are no other markings/writing other than the to and from addresses. NO! NO! NO! styrofoam peanuts EVER! NEVER NEVER NEVER!

Eggs should be sent at least priority or express mail. Never UPS or FedEx, becaue you never know where they'll leave your package.

"Signature Conformation" this means someone has to sign for the package and can check it's contents in front of a postal worker. Gotta get a witness.

Insured!

Do not, Do not give eggs to the mailman. They will sit in his/her truck all day. Either freezing or cooking. There is no air conditioning in their vehichles and they aren't warm enough in the winter.

Mail early in the day. The sooner your package gets into the "system" the faster it will get there.

Marking your package fragile means nothing to the machinery that will process you package. There is no such thing as "handle with care". The postal service does not have time to "hand process" your package.

Finally the postal service DOES NOT! treat any package special. They DO NOT! take more care with insured packages. I had a woman tell a customer in her store this when the customer was shipping two glass bowls and wanted to save money by putting one inside the other. EVEN AFTER I TOLD HER THIS WAS NOT THE CASE.

I am not bossy, my ideas is just better.

I love ya baby. Bless the beasts and the children.

It kind of depends on if the person had all the other batches for the year sold (which there ARE waiting lists that people are fighting over to get on) and then there's the issue of how do they know for sure that the eggs were broken? How do they know that nothing hatched? Why ship more eggs over if there's the change it's going to be broken all over again? Maybe it's an issue with the incubator...etc. etc. etc.


Some people only sell some of the eggs because they have a VERY rare line and are trying to get more eggs out into the world. Thing is...if the eggs are constantly being broken...it's pretty much throwing money into a toilet bowl. The eggs that could have been saved and hatched by that breeder are instead being shipped and broken. It's just not good management ya know?

the eggs were supposed to be 12+ aruacana blue frizzle standards and frizzle blue cochin standards

they were all bubble wrapped but not even a tight bubble - one layer around the egg....I roll my eggs in a long strip of bubble wrap then put the bubbled wrapped egg in an egg carton and bubble wrap the carton. these eggs were just put inside the box with a few plastic bags as padding and I mean a few plastic bags. they did not put enough plastic bags so the eggs would be secure

I paid $80.00 all together for 7 eggs!!!!

they have more auctions on there now for fewer eggs.

I think any seller that advertises 12+ then should send more than 12...or else just advertise a dozen eggs.

I bought 12+ auracana and 12+ cochin and got 22 eggs 6 araucana and 16 cochin........I expected at least 13 araucan and 13 cochin..advertising 12+ is not 12 eggs it is 13 or more!!!!!

Honestly...it's not her fault that the eggs were broken and it's not her place to send extra "security" eggs.

Now...as to advertising 12+ eggs for each breed...I would have assumed that 12 eggs would be Cochin and 12 eggs would have been Araucana. THAT would result in negative feedback if I had bought them.

I'll have to disagree with ya here

Unless that box was destroyed, and arrived intact, then I DO believe the seller is responsible for the breakage as they didn't pack properly. I have had broken eggs arrive, mostly because part of the box was squished or the box was punctured. I didn't hold those sellers responsible, the PO's mishandling caused the damage. I also had a box arrive completely intact and 3/4 were broken. Luckily it was a wonderful person and only charged me for the intact dry eggs I got.
Also they said 12+, the + is usually the extras that people send to make up for mishandling etc
I would file a claim and don't toss anything out yet. I haven't returned anything but don't you need to return it to get your refund? I would find out and get my $$ back....

good customer service = her send you a new batch of eggs... that is what the feedback is for. If you don't like her customer service say so in the feedback.

I would resend eggs once. Now if the second time they broke I would have to throw up my hands.
