Is this a good hatch rate on shipped eggs?

Purchased 30 jumbo coturnix eggs. Seller sent 6 extra eggs.

2 cracked in shipping. Seller packed them extremely well though.

9 infertile.

3 blood rings

2 died in egg at hatch.

1 hatched with unabsorbed yolk and I thought it was dying but seems fine now!

2 shrink wrapped and I assisted them out but they are looking rough. Ones neck is kind of curled and it's laying on its side in the incubator.

As of now we have 20 living chicks... Shrink wrap ones I'm a bit concerned. Providing all 20 stay living is this a good hatch rate for shipped quail eggs?
 
That is pretty good for shipped eggs, usual hatch rate for shipped is 50%
I thought it might be but I wasn't sure. The seller did a darn good job packing those eggs so I think that was half the battle.

Nice, my first time hatching shipped eggs I got less than 25% hatch rate
I think it helps that I already have experience with this incubator with chicken eggs so I instinctively knew what to do and how to manage things. I really hope my 2 shrink wrap babies recover after resting. I wanted to get them out sooner but I was at work. The curled neck is concerning.

How bad was unabsorbed yolk sac and baby survived
 
I had posted another thread on the yolk sac baby but here is a video of it. Today I can not tell which one it is because all of them are lively in the brooder.
Mine is a fair bit bigger than that so I’m worried it won’t make it
