As it has been pointed out to you in another thread, Meyers doesn't offer a guarantee on their hatching eggs. I don't know what was said to you, but the supervisor was correct. Whether she was nice to you is another story that I cannot answer.I'm sorry for you lossand I'm happy I'm not the only one who had problems with them i ordered 6 hatching eggs after a 5-6 month struggle to get chickens but when i opened the egg's after they didn't hatch to see when they died their was nothing. No blood, no veins, no development of any kind, in fact they looked like $30 store bought eggs the yolks where almost perfect. When i called up Meyers the first time i was told that i would be getting a one time replacement of hatching egg's or my money back since the egg's didn't hatch which i made the mistake of hailing them for not a week ago. Then i got a e-mail saying that i in fact would not be getting a refund at all egg's or money. so i called Meyers again hoping to clear things up and i got in touch with one of their very rude supervisor. Who looked me up here on backyard chickens and used my posts in the cino de mayo HAL as an excuse not to give me a refund. Turns out if you don't buy one of their over priced incubators and haven't hatched in incubators before. Your word doesn't have any weight.
But thanks OK what that b - i - t - c - h doesn't know is that at the time she was talking down to me like a step child i had finished counting my pay for the night and was about to order roughly $120 worth of poultry from Meyers. i was going to use the $30 refund to see if i could add some ducks to my order. Now I'm am happy to say not only am i NEVER going to order from them ever again. I'm going to tell everyone who ever asks me where to get birds never to buy from them either.
From the Meyer website: "We guarantee the eggs to be true to breed variety and to arrive in good condition. However, we do not guarantee hatchability due to conditions beyond our control during shipment, and hatching equipment or methods used."
Just because they are upholding their policy does not make them a bad place to order from. I'm really sorry you had bad luck, but my understanding is that hatching is a real chance of luck anyways. I hope you find someplace that you get along with better & have better luck. I hate seeing companies badmouthed for following their written policies.
