RE: [Killietalk] shipping

I use the one rate global priority mail envelopes. The eggs are in a Petri
dish inside a padded envelope, inside the priority envelope.
Worldwide shipping costs $5, $4 to Canada. The longest my eggs have taken to
arrive is 10 days and that was to Israel.

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.
