I took these today and will get some of the girls to post maybe later today, just had to share.

I have never had to collect on insured eggs, but when I had eggs that were sent to me get damaged the seller was able to get reimbursed.
One box I sent to NJ was completely smashed, but they accepted it anyway and had like an 80% hatch.

If you get a box that was damaged and insured you need to refuse it at the PO. Not after you take it home and discover something is amiss. If its not insured, don't even waste your breath. Try and work with the seller instead. Most people will replace one time for just shipping cost.

It should not matter if it is hatching eggs or faberge eggs. Fragile is fragile, and if they are packed well they should survive transit intact or be replaced/reimbursed. That's how they treat it at my 3 POs anyway.

I like the thermometer idea. Would be nice to have a little webcam in there too.

I am working on that too but wasn't sure if it was OK to mention it......

If everyone complains enough to the post office - gee, maybe they will just totally quit shipping for us at all.

I was told that very thing, they don't have to accept your packages and can refuse to ship eggs altogether :/

Or maybe they will handle the precious cargo a little more carefully...........

With all the cutbacks - everywhere - they would more likely just quit dealing with the issue..... in my opinion.

They deal with millions of packages every year - some are chicks, hatching eggs, and other poultry related live items. They do a darn good job, in my opinion.

 

[pampered_poultry]

Eggs or chicks??

I do have chicks available... I will have eggs later in the fall.

Thanks

nope, I had a problem 2 years ago and got some higher ups on the phone and it was brought to my attention they are the ONLY carrier that accepts live chicks and if they run into too many problems they can change their policies and no longer ship live....then where would we be?

the problem with all the cutbacks is that there are so many subcontracts now they can't monitor them all......
