You know, every time I hear these horror stories about horrible postal employees TRYING to break eggs, etc, it makes me SO very thankful for MY PO!!!
One of the gals that used to deliver to me regularly went so far as to deliver a box of hatching eggs in her OWN car on her way home because she had seen that it had been misdirected and didn't want the box sitting at the PO for another day. The folks inside my PO are always asking me how the hatching is going, want me to open boxes of birds right there so they can see them too, and the one time I received an unmarked box that was smashed on the side, they were downright frantic asking "why wouldn't they label them?!?" And the next time I went it they were all asking if my eggs were ok...
They are the
BEST!!!!!
My post office is the best too, they even just drove up here (the post master) and brought me my mail.
They have repeatedly bought chicks from me and love seeing photos of birds, BUT it is the shippers, the giant warehouses where cargo trucks empty & boxes are sorted where the damage occurs.
Huge semi trucks of boxes & packages are traveled across miles and then unloaded & put on planes and then land and put back on trucks & go to big sorting warehouses (like Federal Way and Olympia) where the boxes are all unloaded on conveyors and sorted on smaller truckloads, they shipped out to smaller post offices where they are unloaded again to be delivered.
Damage is not done in our nice post offices.
