Does anyone know what the post office regulations are? I'm new to posting on BYC but I'm not new to chickens and have been getting live birds & eggs shipped to me for years with no problem. In the last month I have received 2 orders of hatching eggs mailed to me - both of which were perfectly wrapped by the way, but this horrible woman on the desk in the PO gave me a hard time. The first order was marked "fragile" but did not indicate it was eggs. The sender put my phone # with a note to call for pickup. This woman told me that the post office does not call people for pickup. Thankfully my wonderful letter carrier called me, but when I went in to pickup, the "dragon lady" on the desk, threw a fit - but, she didn't know it was eggs. This morning's' shipment was clearly marked "eggs" - uh oh. She chewed out my letter carrier for calling me and she said it was not allowed to ship eggs. My excitement in receiving these great eggs was totally ruined by feeling terribly guilty about getting my letter carrier in trouble. I know this woman is a ticking time bomb - she personifies "going postal" - but I just want to know what the PO allows and I have not been able to find anything about it. I need ammunition to fight back. Thanks
