What is you average wieght when shipping eggs. Please put amount of eggs and price? If you ship out duck eggs do that too. I am trying to see, if my packages weight to much. I think I over stuff!!! For me 6 pekin eggs is about 3 pounds and 12 is about 3.4 pounds Chicken eggs for 12 is about 2-3 pounds. The reason I ask, is I just received 7 chicken eggs and the package was only 1 POUND!!!!!!!!!! It was popcorn and bubble wrap.... I use paper, plastic bags, bubble wrap and lots of tape to keep everything in one spot.
unless i'm sending more than 18 lg eggs I'm less then a Lb. you really can't judge price because it also depends where the box is going, I sent 2 boxes once the lighter one was going farther away it cost more, than the heaver closer one, I just sent 19 serama to MO from WI and it was $5.75
all of my boxes weigh at least 3 lbs or more (usually more) I just use the flat rate medium boxes and am done with it. I double box or reinforse my boxes and use a lot of packing material so they have weight to them. I have received packages that arrived unbroken in very little packaging just some tissue, in a carton, and newspaper and had ok hatches.
I usually do 8 eggs in the 7x7x7 box they usually run 1lb 4-6 oz. If I do a doz I put them in the flat rate box pay on line and its 9.80 rather than the 10.35 at the post office
If I send 6-8 eggs, I use a 7x7x6 box and it is usually just over a pound. But if I have more eggs, I use the larger boxes. Really it just depends. I want the boxes stuffed good and tight so the eggs can't move, so I don't worry about how much stuffing I put in them, or how much it is going to weigh or cost, I just want them to get there without breakage.
When I send a dozen it usually runs 3 to 4 lbs. I just sent out 8 eggs in a shoebox priority box today and it weighed 1.8 lbs. It really depends on how much packaging and size of the box. As yet I have not had any eggs break so I continue to keep the box filled with packaging as I have gotten good results.
