Because we send any where from 3 to 4 extra eggs. We also ship a dozen eggs in a standard size #7 shipping box packed as follows.

2 layers of large bubble on the bottom of the box
layer of packing peanuts under the eggs
each egg is wrapped in a full 12 x 12" sheet of small bubble wrap
packing peanuts packed all around the eggs and the sides of the box
layer of packing peanuts over the eggs
2 layers of large bubble wrap on the top of the box

All packing materials are new ( price large bubble wrap, small bubble wrap, packing peanuts, tape etc it's not cheap)

Special trip to the main post office in Greenville, NC where mail is shipped out twice a day vs using our small local PO that only ships once a day. Eggs get to the buyer generaly one day sooner.

Here is a sample from our feedback on ebay.


all arrived safely with a 90% hatch rate Buyer: pheasantmankdx ( 29) Feb-28-09 07:44

12+ Pure Fawn & White Indian Runner Duck Hatching Eggs (#320329114893)

We have gotten eggs packed in newspaper, sawdust, egg cartons, 2 dozen eggs stuffed in a flat rate box- Needless to say there were broken eggs and a hatch rate not to brag about.

You get what you pay for.
