Question about eBay eggs

[jamespet]

that's great you got the extra eggs like that. Good luck hatching
My eggs finally came today but they were scrambled eggs
all but two of them.

Sorry for the scrambled eggs

Now is the time to examine them to see if they were properly packaged and if not then contact the seller and leave proper feedback.

 

[jamespet]

the eggs were each wrpped in bubble wrap and sitting in crumpled news paper

 

[latebloomer]

yeah.

that's bad.

So sorry for your bad luck!!

I ordered eggs off of ebay that are currently in the bator, they all arrived intact and were "lost" for about three days. I think I would contact the seller and see if they will make it right, i.e. sending more eggs. I know a seller cant help what the post office does with the package, but that much breakage is very bad. IMO

Don't lose hope, I had the same thing happen to me. My eggs were something like 14 days old by the time I actually got them and I had a 75% hatch rate. ( All had developed, the last 6 never pipped.)

I guess I have been lucky

I have bought eggs off e-bay quite a few times and all from different sellers.
They were all packaged/labeled different BUT all arrived in good shape and in the two days .
I always have them held at the Post Office and pick them up.
Maybe have them sent to a different PO.
The one by my work is way better at handling packages than the one by my house!!

I have bought eggs before and had good luck with
delivery. I wish these had been the same because they
were splash marans I had been wanting. I emailed the seller
that picture but never heard anything back. I wouldn't do
business like that but to each his own I will have to
find another seller and try again.
