I double boxed them and wrote fragile on box idiots..I always send in priority mail boxes but the po was out when I went in to get a stack..so I got two boxes from work tons of newspaper for protection and bubble wrapped eggs MIN carton..they better not be ruined

Sweetie- it had nothing to do with you. They are trying really hard to find something or someone to blame besides admitting they did it. I was always told if you did something have the ..... to stand up and say yeap that was me. I am not happy about admitting when I am wrong, but I have to pull up the big girl panties and apologize. The PO should apologize in some way. If it is as bad as Dad and the kids say....I will be at the post office in person with that darn box and will be chewing someone's .

I feel horrible if it was the boxes though....I didn't have the size I always ship in neither did po...small town I guess they were coming in the next day but I said no I found boxes at work..they weren't flimsy though especially double boxed and padded up the ying yang

Sonew, you do know that you can order yourself a supply of boxes free off the USPS website, don't you?
They will come direct to your house, hopefully they would not tear them up in the mail!!!!!!

Yes! I do- I've ordered them twice!!! Never came-talked to PO to order them for me and nothing. So what I do is go to PO and ask for a huge stack of priority mail boxes ( because I have great luck with those) Usually get 20 at a time 1/2 flat rate 1/2 not depending on how far the eggs have to go.-I usually wipe them out But this time when I walked in I told them I needed a box and they said they were waiting on their delivery

I figured they'd have a bazillion in stock? PO is 20 miles from my house too

I was on my way to work anyway and just snagged some boxes that were a perfect size for 6 eggs and room for packing materials...

Aye Up Chuck- def would like to know more about iris seeds. I always thought they spread from the bulb.

pdsavage- sand cherries are expensive over here- could you put a picture up of the shrub?

ruthless- you know you want to join me in the takeover. We could call ourselves Egg-spress Shipping. With a motto like "Though we might be cracked, your cargo won't be".

Sonew- You know the first box I received as a newbie that was scrambled...I cried over it. Occassionally I get a little over invested in a hatch to this day. But after the chicken in the motor fiasco yesterday and no water for 2 mos and DH diagnosis of sarcoidosis (which is better than the lymphoma one they gave us originally) and if I listed it all I would cry. I am not getting totally bent. Join in with me while we deep breathe. I am about to run to the little girls and then head home. I will start taking pics in about 1 1/2 hours. Might need either a glass of wine or a beer.

Ya'll pray for me and those that are on the interstate between me and the house.
