This means they SHOULD be at the local post office very shortly since Atlanta is less than an hour away depending on traffic.

I forget, is the polish the one that has a puff on its head?

Yes it is.

It makes them "stupid" by our standards, sometimes. They can't see out from under that crest, so they will often wander off and get lost. They also don't see predators coming, and are the first to get picked off. So if you keep polish, they NEED a very secure enclosure.

Not quite. I really hope they make an exception and drive yours out. But typically trucks only leave the sort facility to deliver mail to the individual post offices once per day - and it's always first thing in the morning. With your chicks not even being SCANNED until almost 7am, they didn't make it onto that truck.

But most likely they were sent via Express mail. If so, put in a claim IMMEDIATELY when you pick them up. You should, at the very least, get the cost of shipping refunded - more if it was insured and any of them died in transit.

Just called my local post office. She said her computer shows they left Atlanta at 9 this morning. I guess the driver has stopped for a really long lunch.

CD, this is the shipping info....

Postal Product:

• Priority Mail 2-Day
  

Features:

• $100 insurance included

 

[ChickDancer]

It may have other stops. But hopefully they are getting them to you and that truck actually left the dock!

 

[ChickDancer]

Oh my god, PRIORITY mail?? Really?!?
These are live CHICKS, right? Not hatching eggs??

If so, whoever sent them out is STUPID! PRIORITY mail may say 2-day, but it has no actual GUARANTEED delivery date or time! Express is the only guaranteed delivery service.

Priority just provides tracking and insurance against damages.

She said they MIGHT be on the lunch time truck that gets there at 12ish. I'm still annoyed that the texting update feature for tracking isn't working.
