There is good news: eggs that are difficult to peel are often farm-fresh. With fresh eggs there is no air between the eggshell and the membrane. The egg white is therefore very close to the shell, which makes peeling difficult: you either pull pieces of egg with it or a dull membrane remains around the egg.
Yeah, luck of the draw when peeling eggs in my experience. However, I do find that if you plunge your eggs into already boiling water (rather than boiling from cold) helps when it comes to peeling, but you also risk the eggs cracking whilst cooking. So, swings and roundabouts. Having iced water ready to put the eggs in as soon as they're cooked is a good idea. Also, peeling from the blunt end first enables you to get your fingers under the membrane. But, really, in the long run, you're in the lap of the egg-shell gods.
i ,add a little bit of vinagar to to the water. it makes the eggs peel easier. and also the fresher the eggs the easier the peel
We have always heard fresh eggs make it harder to peel
An egg pricker will definitely make it easier to peel an egg. But, as stated by others, make sure to cool the eggs down as soon as they're cooked.
We did use an egg pricker, should have used cold water

I wonder how those companies that sell pre shelled hard boiled eggs do it.

I suspect a UHT process.
