\"Shipping<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which came first\u2014the chicken or the egg?  The egg, if you ship it through the U.S. Postal Service! Since eggs are mailable with the USPS under certain guidelines, you can use Stamps.com to make the process easy for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eggs are very sensitive to temperature changes, so monitoring weather for upcoming snowstorms or heat waves that may affect the shipping destination is a good idea. Send them by a fast mail class such as Priority Mail Express.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How should I package my eggs?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re shipping eggs, the USPS also asks that you individually<\/u><\/em> cushion each egg. Use bubble wrap to avoid breakage and shock-proof packaging material such as shredded paper to cushion the individually bubble-wrapped eggs.  Pack your individual eggs closely but not too tightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A number of egg varieties exist, from a Rhode Island Red\u2019s brown eggs to a Leghorn chicken\u2019s white ones, but using a USPS Flat Rate Box, such as the Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box, will keep your postal rates consistent for all types of eggs. What\u2019s more, barcoded shipping labels printed via Stamps.com have built-in, free tracking. You can also use our Shipment Notification feature to email tracking information to your recipients and give them an accurate idea of when to expect their package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t crack under the pressure: you can order free USPS packaging by logging into your software and clicking on \u201cOnline Store,\u201d which appears beneath \u201cBuy Supplies.\u201d  Click on the \u201cFree USPS Supplies<\/a>\u201d tab and order the right box or envelope for your mailing needs today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For peace of mind, we recommend requesting a free USPS pickup when shipping eggs.  The free USPS pickup service is available for Priority Express Mail, Priority Mail, Priority Express Mail International, Priority Mail International and Global Express Guaranteed. In the Stamps.com software, click \u201cUSPS Pickup\u201d from the \u201cView History\u201d menu on the left navigation bar of the software to start the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For further USPS details on mailing eggs domestically, please see:   http:\/\/pe.usps.com\/text\/pub52\/pub52c5_010.htm<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I send eggs internationally?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to ship eggs to a destination outside of the U.S., you must use Priority Mail International. We recommend researching specific import restrictions by accessing the Individual Country Listings here: https:\/\/pe.usps.com\/text\/imm\/immctry.htm<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For specific packing instructions on mailing eggs internationally, please see: https:\/\/pe.usps.com\/text\/pub52\/pub52c6_015.htm<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
