14 out of 40 are unbroken. Waaah.
Fortunately, they were insured through the USPS, so I should be able to get my money back eventually after filling out many forms. (The Post Office has thought of everything; there are special rules for insuring Airline Tickets, Gift Cards, and Adult Fowl -
Adult fowl: If the number of birds per parcel follows the container manufacturer limits and each bird weighs more than 6 ounces, eligible birds are mailable via Express Mail in biologically secure containers approved by the manager of Mailing Standards. Under the applicable standards, indemnity claims may only be paid for loss, damage, or rifling (not for death of the birds in transit if there is no visible damage to the mailing container). Eligible Adult Fowl include:
o Adult turkeys
o Guinea fowl
o Doves
o Pigeons
o Pheasants
o Partridges
o Quail
o Ducks
o Geese
o Swans
So, do you know anyone who will be driving up from Miami anytime over the next couple of months, to bring me more tile? I no longer trust any shipping method (even the box we checked in our luggage on the plane had a couple of broken tiles). They're smaller than a breadbox but they're 100+ pounds. I think they'd be happiest traveling by car.
