Who's Setting Eggs This Week[end]? [August 8-14]

[nuthatch]

My eggs got here

they were all crushed.
My box looked like an accordion. I'm so mad. I called the post office and they said "well, was it insured?" ummm, no you can't insure eggs/
I made a huge deal about it and I threatened to get a lawyer of they don't getter fully reimbursed. The woman took me seriously enough that I'm pretty sure I'll get my money back.
I'm soooo angry. I doubt the few that survived will grow...so I've got $70 worth of eggs down the drain right now

This is just SO not right and so depressing. I'm sure we all feel your pain. Getting your money back only solves part of the issue. Hopes were crushed with that package. Take a deep breath and vow to start again.

I had a panic attack. I was warming up the bator and making sure it works. I bumped the temp up to dial it in and left for work. When I got home, the temp was at 80! After freaking out for a few hours trying to figure out what went wrong, my husband chimes in, "oh, i turned it down after you left since there are no eggs yet. was that wrong?" So now the bator is in the spare room with a sign threating dismemberment for all who enter.

Aww so sorry to hear.

Were they packaged well otherwise? Did the sender put that there were "live eggs" on the outside of the box or any other writing to let the post office know to handle with care? Maybe ask her to send them again double boxed and put warnings all over the outside of the box. It really isn't her fault and I know the post office is terrible to deal with.

EDIT: It is partially the senders fault because she didn't package them properly.

I haven't spoken to the seller but the listing was pretty clear that she wasn't responsible for the post office. I can't afford to replace the eggs either so I'm totally crushed right now.

Contact the seller you never know they may be nice enough to send you more for the cost of shipping. I got that lucky and that's how i am getting these new eggs on Sat. The difference is that in my case i had a silkie born with 6 toes on both feet out of show stock which according to the breeder had never happened so she offered to send me more eggs for 20.00 how sweet was that. I would try can't hurt

if they are good breeders they will help you out.

I could just cry looking at these pictures

I am so sorry. She should have double boxed the eggs and I think they should have been placed in an empty egg carton to ship. They would have had a chance then. I would black out your address before you post your address on the web. You never know what nutso people are out there.

 

[chickchickchiky]

Yeah the seller did not pack those eggs very well at all! The ones i got shipped where individually wrapped with bubble wrapped then put in the egg crate double boxed and they all made it safe and sound. That's not cool

My husband is somewhat of a gun "collector" and I've got a wicked good shot for being a woman. If any nutso shows up at my house, it probably won't end well for them. Lol
