Metzer Farms???

I think you'll be fine as long as there's no delays. They should give you a tracking number to keep track of them. I would suggest calling your closest postal distribution hub to see if you can get notified when they come in and pick them up there. It might be a longer drive, but it would be worth it. Some people give their ducklings water or a small amount of food when they pick them up.
What kind did you get?
Also, Metzers has a live hatching cam on Fridays through Sunday. There's a different breed every week. I think this Friday's is the last one for the season. Who knows, you may get to see your duckling actually hatch live on camera.

Wouldn't that be amazing to see your ducks hatch (i've never used an incubator). I ordered two blue swedish, two buffs, two fawn and white runners, one blue runner, and two cayugas
I live out in the country (way out) so the pick may not be ideal, but i'll have to check for the nearest one.

If possible, at least let your local post office know they're coming in and make sure they have your phone number so they can call you. Most post offices won't deliver the live birds because it might mean that they'd be in the postal truck all day without food and water and air conditioning.

Also, be sure to post pictures when they come in, we'd all like to see.

I live in Colorado and ordered from Metzer in March. I went to our local post office and picked up the box of eight ducklings at 6:00 a.m.! They were all healthy and happy and in fine shape. I am happy I ordered the grow-gel because it was all eaten by the time they arrived. They are thriving and actually just began laying eggs this week! I would definitely order from Metzer again -

I ordered for the first time from Metzers this year. I ordered 2 pair of geese and 10 WH Ducks. They shipped 1 extra duck. Order shipped when they said. Monday. I got a cal on Tuesday morning around 1000 from my main Post office hub(about 30 min away. She said we have your order. so I drove up to get it. Did not have to but I figured the sooner I get them the better. They would have delivered to local office , but I did not want to wait. All made it , but had to cull one duck she would not stand, I think she got trampled by geese. If you are ordering now , you might have some trouble it is really hot. See where your main hub is and maybe you can pick them up there, and/or go to local post office and make sure the know order is coming in for you and give them all your numbers for contact. Good luck

I strong urge you add it to your order, GroGel just makes the trip that much easier, even more so with the summer heat. Enjoy and do post pictures.
