shipping questions re: mypetchicken.com

[YankeeRider]

Mine shipped on a Monday evening and arrived on Wednesday morning. I got a phone call from the post office at 6:00 am and drove right over to pick them up. Turns out I wasn't the only person in town that had chicks there that morning!

All arrived very healthy and still are!

Great advice. I'm expecting a shipment too, I'll be going to the Post Office to give them a heads up.

My chicks were shipped on a Monday and I got a call from the P.O. to come pick them up on a Wednesday. My P.O. doesn't deliver. Your phone number should be on the shipping label. Also I called the P.O. a couple of days in advance to tell them I was expecting them.

Both Times I ordered from MPC I got great results.
First Time - they sent on Monday I got them on Tuesday - I was suppose to pick them up but my carrier tried to be nice so the girls went for a ride. But he took good care of them. I got them later in the afternoon at the post office.

Second Batch sent Tuesday due to lack of GLW so they called and gave me a choice of another breed. They came to the Post office on Wednesday.

All healthy - Green gel stuff in box plus heat pack.

MPC sent mine out on Tuesday evening, got to my PO Thursday at noon. I was worried about them but they were fine- plenty of gro-gel still in the box. Heating pad was cold by then but my temps were in the 80-90s so they were A-OK. I like the way they make a little nest in the box for them to reduce shipping stress.

One tip- if you want to pick them up at the PO (which is best, they get home faster) have the hatchery put the post office's address on the box, not your home address. Our post office lady was a real
PITA and insisted that if our home address was on the box then it
HAD to go in the delivery truck and be brought to our house. Your mail lady may be nicer, but that's what I ran into...

All 6 of my chicks are still doing well and eating like crazy a week later!

Sounds like MPC does a good job. Anyone ever order a rare breed assortment from them? Were you pleased w/the chicks you got?
