Re: [Killietalk] shipping

Could you explain exactly how you package eggs to ship to these countries?
Are you using envelopes, yellow padded envelopes, boxes, what. I ask because
only about 1/2 of what I send to South America, Spain, Portugal never
arrives. What does takes about 3 weeks no matter how I ship. Europe takes
about 2 weeks, meaning I mail out a lot of what arrives as 'small quantities
of peat or a mop', ie eggs long ago hatched.
