too soon to tell (private 15 developing out of 26)
too soon to tell (forum not candled yet)

Please note I have had VERY good development with my own eggs, so it is NOT an incubation issue. I just can't seem to take no for an answer! Maybe I like the abuse or the dissapointment of buying shipped eggs...

ksacres, you are stronger than I.. I got two batches of bad eggs and was ready to give up

Good for you that you keep trying

I have a question. My eggs where shipped on monday and I still have not recieved them. she sent them priority. We have to new mail people and sometime I want to scream at them cause they dont deliver our packages. our old mail lady does not work everyday like she used to and I miss her. She was awesome at delivering on time. What can I do if they dont deliver my eggs tomorrow? can I fire them or file a claim?

 

[speckledhen]

Priority is not guaranteed. Period. They actually guarantee nothing if you really make them tell you the truth. I just sent a Priority pkg to Washington State, same customer as before. FIrst time, it took 2 days, second time they messed up badly and sent it Parcel Post, even though I paid Priority, $16 worth. Took one week. The Postal "Service" gets away with what I consider fraud daily. You can't file a claim unless you sent it Express. I even heard Postal people talking to each other and they said overnight is not guaranteed overnight because they were losing too much money in claims. Yeah, do your job and you wont have to pay claims, right? They take higher prices for services they don't care or really intend to deliver. Sorry to all you postal employees here.

ok. think I should contact the seller and let her know how much my post office sux at sending packages to my house? What if she where to have insurance? can they insure perishables?
