How to Package and Ship Hatching Eggs Safely

[@VeraLee]

Wow the brown paper use is brilliant. Thanks!

[@NicholsCounty]

You betcha!

[@goodnessgroup3529]

Cool, thanks. Where do you get the bubblewrap cutter from?

[@NicholsCounty]

It's a fabric cutter wheel. I stole it from my wife. Link in description.

[@kriscrafthalofarm3656]

Good day sir, how much it will cost one tray fertile egg going here in Philippines?

[@NicholsCounty]

I'm not sure, you'd have to find someone that can ship out of the country. I am not one of those sellers.

[@wildlifehomestead8009]

This is so helpful thank you!! I sell silkies and doing great. Also if your shipping priority mail you can use your local post office priority tape Free!!😊

[@NicholsCounty]

Great tip! Thanks.

[@damaraOC]

Do you wash the eggs prior to shipping? If so, how long can they Stay out the fridge after washing? If you don't wash, what kind of prep do you do to the egg before shipping?

[@NicholsCounty]

I don't prep eggs at all, just what you see in the video. I have an idea of how many eggs I'm going to get for the day and I list those in the morning. I sell out pretty often so I never have eggs sitting around. If I do have eggs that don't sell I just set them off to the side and incubate them at a later date. We sell chicks locally. I wouldn't recommend washing eggs and then letting them sit out, if you wash them put them in refrigerator after they dry. I only wash eggs prior to breaking them open for breakfast.

If i packed some pigeons eggs in box like you, and send saudi arab to india by airoplane through language, soo pigeons chicks will be come out from eggs or eggs will be blank witout chiks ???? Please answer my question Sir ?? And time will take 10 to 12 hours in box ?????

[@NicholsCounty]

What.

[@DirtRoadPatriot1975]

Very informative! Thanks!👍

[@NicholsCounty]

Glad it was helpful!

[@PeytonDoesItAll]

What is the price difference from flat rate to not

[@NicholsCounty]

Depends on location. Commercial flat rate is $14 while just priority this size is $7-$15 depending on location. I use completely different boxes now, I don't have to wrap them in brown paper.

[@ibrahimnadir4490]

Is anyone know if i can take eggs in the plane ? Like in my carry-on bag

[@NicholsCounty]

I don't think so.

[@eddiebarrera-ws8vu]

Think eggs are shipped right, problem is the delivery trucks driving thru pothole streets going 50 miles an hr,and many packages are x rayed which can't be for the egg.But I do hatch e bay eggs ,just the hatch rate is very low.

[@NicholsCounty]

Yeah. That's the risk you take when you purchase eggs from the internet.

[@ahmedheji3070]

Do you know how it can be shipped internationally? I am looking for shipping company that would ship hatching egg to Qatar. Most of them saying they don’t ship “live animal” 🤷‍♂️ or perishable goods 🙂. Thanks

[@NicholsCounty]

Most people are not going to ship internationally. I've lived overseas and it can take quite a while for Priority Mail to reach that far. Also, I'm pretty sure customs won't allow it.

[@sumswhite97]

So I can see your making your shipping label at home and than dropping it off at the post office. I am still confused on how to do this at home. I don't know how to figure out how much to charge for shipping and how to be able to create the shipping label at home! Also confused by the wrapping it in brown paper!

[@NicholsCounty]

Yeah its easy. You make the shipping label on eBay. If you don't sell on eBay you can find free shipping services on line (shippo or stamps.com). Raise the price of your eggs and charge free shipping. Shipping and supplies cost me roughly $11-$15 per order approximately. I wrap in brown paper because these are flat rate boxes and I'm not sending flat rate priority, just priority.

[@kida12]

Your ebay store link isn't correct. Had to search for you! Thought you would want to know.

[@NicholsCounty]

Thanks, I fixed it.

[@akiratokyodesu6266]
