Need to ship hatching eggs - -WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST ? ?

I have bought lots of eggs shipped.
I found that when they are wrap individually in bubble wrap and then placed in a egg carton, then news papers all around the carton in a box is the best way to go.
Wrapped solo and floating solo really shook them up, and then some would group up and crack.

 

First make sure you take care of them right before you ship them. turning 3 times per day, kept in a good enviroment etc

I individually wrap each egg in bubble wrap, then place them in the middle of a medium size priority mail shipping box (free from the post office)
I use newpaper, wrapping paper, shreaded paper etc to pack. I have never had an egg break in shipping (knock wood)

I try to ship on a Monday or Tues so they get there during the week and never sit over the weekend at the post office.

I write Fragile, hatching eggs in Red sharpie on the top of the box.

 

Hi!

 

Wrapping them individually and putting them in an egg carton has worked well for us and we have shipped all over the country. I usually get my bubble wrap free from work. Our ink toners are wrapped in plastic and then bubble wrap, so instead of throwing it away, I bring it home I have seen bubble wrap in the store and it goes for around $4+ so I think you did well on your $1 find!!

 

The Dollar Store rocks!

 

You can see how I wrap mine here. www.sundownsilkies.com click the "Packing Up the eggs" at the top. I bubblewrap each egg individually and use lots of shredded paper to cushion the eggs. I label the box "Fragile" and "Handle with care".

I ship eggs out at least once a week, sometimes more if the girls are laying really well and the incubators are full.
