Its not in the slightest bit helpful. Having said that, most people have a very unrealistic idea of a good result from shipped eggs.
Not including you in this category, Rumblings.
But to be honest, if you get a decent cockerel or hen out of any set from shipped eggs that have cost less than £60 you are on a winner when you consider the costs of young adult stock and the time and costs of collecting them.

I can't understand why you've had such difficulty hatching them,
shell quality alone is not a reason why an egg fails,
Do you not believe that poor shells allow infection in and that this
kills of the chicks??

Poor shells would certainly not give a great hatch but should not give all non-starters.

Poor shells may not be the only factor then??

Because he was extremeley rude and threatening on the phone. He was
