Shipping eggs, tell me everything!

[careeka22]

So I'm getting lot of requests to ship my eggs. Right now just within the state of VA. I'm thinking a medium flat rate shipping box and I've seen videos how to package. My question is what does everyone charge to ship? Do you add costs for materials and labor? I currently ask 10/doz for my eggs. Lavender Orpingtons and crosses. I'd love to hear everyone's process!

Cost - depends on how much you want to make for the eggs. Seems like you should charge for packaging or roll it all into one cost with "free shipping"

I have not shipped eggs, but I have purchased shipped eggs and I usually pay anywhere from $20 to $30 dollars for shipping. Usually come in a flat rate box. Some people charge an extra $10 for all the careful packaging. I do not mind paying extra for shipping if I am trying to get a specific breed that is not available in my area. Just a perspective from a buyer. Good luck!
