I have a very stong dislike for the USPS! Grrrrrrrrrr!!! Update :(

Honestly, I likely would have done the same (though I've never been lucky enough to work when peepers were in). I, however, also likely would have lost my job for it. (Tampering with mail, blah, blah, blah.) Sad, but true.

That is sad. With a post mark of several days old and a live animal they should allow opening to care for the animal.

Then they could have called you and asked if they could open and care for the peepers!

Mine are always opened and ooh'ed and aah'ed over before I get there, but I work there. I'm not sure I'd be allowed to open someone elses...partly b/c you truly never know how someone will react. You'd be surprised the foolish things that people complain about.

MY turkeys were sent priority too. I told the hatchery I would pay for express. 2 1/2 days later I got the poults and they were weak. Sent priority. The PO told me it can take up to eight days if they are busy for priority to be delivered.That is why I only ship anything live Express.
Im sorry for you loss I know how frustrating it can be.

Exactly! But that all goes back to my previous post. No compassion. People simply do not care anymore.
