I need help on what to put on a box of eggs?

Mine have come with "EGGS" clearly marked on all sides and have gotten here with minimal damage. One was also marked "DO NOT X-RAY". "Fragile means nothing to the PO!

 

I ordered eggs last year, and the seller told me that every time the put "DO NOT X-RAY' on the box, that it almost assured the eggs to be x-rayed.

 

okay. I will do that.

 

I always put PLEASE handle with care.... had good luck so far.

 

I don't think most postal workers care what it says. I had a box shipped recently that was clearly marked that it was fragile and hatching eggs. It also had my phone # boldly written on top of the box with instructions to call me for pick-up. They put the box on the truck, bounced it across countless dirt roads before getting to my house and because I didn't immediately get to the door they tossed it, on its side, agaist the door so it fell in when I opened it.

NOT fond of the PO right now.............

 

I put "Fragile and Perishable" and " Do Not X-Ray". Mine normally arrive fine. Before I put "Do Not X-ray" on the box, I had reports of deformed chicks hatching. Since then,I have had no reports. I have never hatched a deformed chick from one of my eggs.

 

Quote:True..Boxes marked this way are bound to be x-rayed

 

I put Babies on Board handle with care. The post office lady today was going to turn my box upside down. She then read the babies on board and said"duh I guess I should read sorry." I have shipped two with that on them and they have arrived safely so far. only 5 more to go so we will see.
