Shipping Information:

Eggs are shipped out on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, only--unless you make a special request for them to be mailed on Thursday or Friday.

Special requests are not always able to be accommodated and additional shipping & handling charges will apply.

I do NOT wash eggs before they are sent! This will destroy the protective coating the hen/duck/goose puts on the egg, allowing bacteria in! However, each egg is brushed off with a stiff bristle brush prior to be sat into a holding carton for shipment. I do strive for clean eggs by using clean nesting material, but they are chickens, ducks & geese and not always the cleaniest of animals.

Before being mailed, all eggs are individually bubble wrapped and/or wrapped in plastic bags and the date they were laid/collected is written in pencil on them, along with what breed they are.

The eggs are then sent USPS Priority Mail (2-3 business days to most locations).

Shipping charges include the cost of bubble wrap, my time (it usually takes me 1 hour to collect eggs, clean them, mark them, wrap and box them and then of course, you have the actual shipping charges on top of that. Shipping charges sometimes vary greatly, so I have calculated an average cost, based on my materials, my time and weight of packages. This is easier for me and you. I do not make money from the shipping costs.

A Word About Shipped Eggs
I've personally shipped and received eggs through the mail since summer, 2003.
