That is not ideal. Hopefully the eggs are not damaged.

How hard is it to write a postal address ?? I haven't had that happen with eggs , but my sister once sent a parcel to us here When she moved over east and put on it mugga wogga station instead of farm it went to NSW and then up to wogga wogga station before getting here It had about six postal stamps on.

the trouble is this has the correct address on it the guy read it out to me along with the post code ?? because it was COD postage they wanted to keep it in Northam until i had paid they should have sent it to my local post office they would have taken the money but NO cant do that then on the phone the guy i talked to told me I was exaggerating when I told him that the eggs were over 100 kms away from me in fact there 140 away that makes it harder no one knows the distance between places half of the city people would not know anything past the hills suburbs but i thought that was what a post code was for you send it to that post office ?? one thing Do NOT GO COD that would help them after thought the last lot of trouble i had i paid up front for the postage so it has me beat Trev

this is my first time. The guy that posted the eggs, i do not think he had the funds for the post and the best way for that is to COD them causes loads of problems as i found out hope it has not done a laod of dammage to the eggs trev

Keep your fingers crossed. Sometimes the eggs are fairly tough. I have had eggs that were sitting outdoors with sub-zero temps at night hatch. I expected the freezing temps to have killed the eggs.

well I have them at last i will leave them to stand for a while and them put them into the bator three weeks from now we will know I agree eggs are Tough it takes a long time for an egg to hot hot inside the shell and i would think the same for cold the bator is set on 37.6 with 60 % humidity and was stable for a week so they should be fine Trev
