I have hatched quite a few shipped eggs. I've probably gotten at least a dozen shipped batches this year. Probably more. I have 15 young seramas right now from a shipped batch and 4 young cochins from another shipped batch. Sometimes the air cells are messed up and I can get them to hatch, sometimes not. I have personally found that the distance doesn't actually help that much. I have gotten better hatch rates from California or North Carolina at times then eggs that came from only 4 hours away. How they are packed makes a huge difference. I get much better hatches from individually wrapped eggs over carton wrapped eggs.
My worse shipped rate was 0 out of 30, but I saw that coming. The seller (in Florida) mixed up me and another customer's eggs so my eggs went to Kentucky and hers here. Then the seller insisted that we ship the eggs to each other on her expense (I protested because I'd rather have the accidental Jersey Giants then doom two batches of eggs, but she insisted adamantly) So my eggs got shipped twice. She payed 30 dollars for each of us (60 + total) to reship them again. It was such a sad waste of eggs and money.
My best was 9/11 - but one of those was killed while zipping by another chick that hatched and then managed to wedge its newly vacated shell over the hatching one so it was almost 10/11.
I see that we need to discus your priorities, or lack of!!!! 
We still love you!!! Nobodies perfect!!
