My Present from the USPS

[greenfamilyfarms]

Box not marked - 7 Eggs Shipped, 3 "survived." We'll see if I can get any to hatch. They may be pretty scrambled inside. The others are Button Quail Eggs that were in a much smaller box and all made it just fine (sent UPS).

Oh no. I'm so sorry. That is a nightmarish night. I am expecting eggs next week.

The first pic looks like mine. I had 18 but three were smashed. I put 15 in the bator and will candle on day 14 and I'm sure I'll have some to throw out. Sorry your eggs didn't make their trip.

I have so many eggs coming from so many people in March that I would be horrified to open a box like that.

That is what happens with poor packing. I always pack tight with wood shavings in a paper carton and taped tight with duct tape. Pack the cartons in a very tight fitting box. The flat rate proility mail boxt is good for up to 4 dox. I find the paper cartons are better then foam. I have shipped eggs for 20 years.

Uggg, been there, gotten that.

I see nothing in the photos to suggest that you received a "present from the USPS." From your photos, the blame could certainly just as easily lie on the person who sent it.

I agree.
If the box wasnt marked they didnt know to be careful with it.

Sorry for the loss though

No way- all my dealings with USPS, UPS and Fed-Ex have only served to show me that marking Fragile on something gives them an excuse to abuse the package more.
