Placed an order last week from My Pet Chicken for 6 day-old chicks, to hatch yesterday and be shipped via USPS Express to arrive today. USPS tracking info says the box is still sitting in an Ohio warehouse. :-( MPC told me that USPS's tracking info is often quite delayed, and the fact that the mail hasn't come yet gives me SOME home, but I am sitting here on crazy pins and needles! Not to mention, it is almost 100 degrees outside, so it's not exactly hospitable for tiny chicks in a cardboard box.
Apparently paying $60 for USPS Express to ship live poultry means that, unlike everything else, they don't actually have to get it there overnight. You still pay for it, but you may or may not get it, no guarantees. How does this make any sense at all?
Is they do get delayed and don't arrive until tomorrow, will they still be (probably) okay? Maybe they're still coming today, and the system just isn't updating the box's location? I just need some hope, please, anyone, anything... this is more stressful than waiting for my own children to be born!
