I have seen both sides of this. My wife has ordered many times from Murray McMurray, and has been mostly pleased with their service. Also, I used to work at the Post Office, and many times I saw boxes with chicks coming through, besides the ones we received ourselves. There are rules about how soon they must be received, shipping by air, etc. MOST of the time we received all of ours alive and healthy. If not, they are usually willing to credit you for the ones lost -- sometimes it's just unavoidable. Post Office treats these with care, sometimes drivers even keep them in their truck cabs, they're passed in to buildings ASAP upon arrival. Customers are called ASAP to come and pick them up at their local post office. Treated very gently, always marked "Live animals", etc. You must check them and give food and water right away when received.
Wife has also been pleased with Mt. Healthy hatchery. Recently had to replace most of our chickens when neighbor's dog broke in and killed 35 of them.
