UPS for shipping eggs

Hey there,

Any one ever use UPS for shipping eggs? There prices are not to much higher the CP. I am shipping a back pack back to targus (100 buck backpack ripped in the first year with normal use) using UPS it weighs about 2 lbs (the box and everything) so i gave a 1 pound leverage. So it cost 31.41 to ship a 15(length)X 11 (width) X 9 (inch) at 3 pound. Being picked up tuesday and garanted to be there by Wensday.

Anyone ever think about it?

I posted a thread awhile back to shed some insight in different shipping methods...

Funny, i have had many shipments with ups, all have been good. Including a microscope from the states. there is not even a dent in the box! The local UPS has been great

If you read my thread I posted a link to, you will understand why sometimes things go well, and sometimes they don't. Unfortunately, bad experiences to those that don't know what really goes in this industry, quite often lead to blanket statements such as this.
