Shipping Price?

[Poultrybreeder]

What is the average price to ship hatching eggs? I was looking at Silkie hatching eggs on Ebay that are going for $6 for 10 eggs.

Never mind, I found a thing for shipping calculation online.
I guess I should have looked harder before posting this!

I would say around $12

Ok!

 

[Poultrybreeder]

But thank you anyway!

Yep. $12-$13. $12.50 is the cost of a 2-day flat rate box from USPS that will hold around 10 eggs well packaged (and 14 poorly packaged!). Most people use that. I do because they're tracked and insured for $50 in case of damage.

Shipping prices are outrageous where I live, for only going one state Missouri to Oklahoma its like $54

Wow, that is expensive

???? Why would you not just use the flat rate boxes? They're nation wide. You can even have them shipped to your house.
