I go through UPS through my moms work, it's $10 to go through UPS with tracking through her work. Then I consider the box price which is 1.49 normally, and wrapping so a few dollars extra for that.

I think the bigger flat rate boxes are 12.95. Now that's understandable for a dozen or more. what really gets me, is the 15 and 16 dollar charges for 6 eggs. They must be wrapping the eggs in dollar bills. Expensive shipping really turns me off on auction sites, especially when the half dozen eggs are pricey. Geez, your getting enough for your eggs, give the buyer a break on the shipping.

I sold 30 eggs and charged 15.00 shipping the big boxes at usps are 12.95 but you also have to figure in packaging material if you want them packed right.

I know some people charge a little extra for the packing stuff, bubble wrap and styrofoam peanuts add up after awhile. Im Thankful I can get all of my peanuts and bubble wrap for nothing from my work, so I only charge for the actual shipping, I dont charge for the packing.........................

I love your "not jumping on the bc marans bandwagon"

I pass up the 6 eggs for sale with major shipping prices myself.
