Shipping chicks and birds - ARRIVING DOA

Great to hear they are ok.....now maybe we all can learn....best to ship only on Monday and Tuesday..PO workers don't know as much abouit birds as those buying and shipping them.

Never ship birds to be receive on a Saturday...a one day delay can happen, then they have to set Sunday, or longer on holiday weekends.

I only ship eggs front of the week...same with birds....

Hi! I'm so glad the story had a good outcome. Good luck with your new darlings!
Isn't it curious to anyone else *just how* birds survived 'in a box' 'in transit' 'for 6 plus days' ??

Hi! And since they were alive on arrival, you should edit your subject line to reflect that --- not DOA.
Good luck!

You took the words right out of my mouth, er… keyboard! Thank goodness the chickies survived this shipping ordeal! So memo me- if I EVER ship anything live, make it Monday on a non-holiday week and mark LIVE on everything!
