So I succumbed to Spring Fever (wishful thinking since it's still snowing here...) and participated in the Crazy Egg Chain swap week before last... I shipped my box of eggs out to Florida last Monday Priority Mail and heard from the recipient yesterday that they still had not arrived...
The tracking website had no information whatsoever on it other than "electronic notification of shipping received". I just checked the site again and found this:

Now... pray tell... why did it take more than 5 days to get to Denver from Idaho but less than 24 hours from Denver to Florida??? I just hope they didn't play soccer with the box all the way to Colorado!!
Hopefully the box will get delivered tomorrow, all the eggs will be intact and they'll all hatch!!
This was my first time shipping eggs and I was nervous anyway... and to have this happen!! My eggs from the swap are supposed to be sent this Tuesday and I am going to be a nervous wreck until they get here now...
Thanks for letting me vent.... I just needed to get that off my chest so I can sleep tonight...
