In my own experience boiling hundreds of eggs over the last couple of years I found that if I don’t start with boiling water then the shells are very difficult to get off. If I start with boiling water the shells slide right off.
From what I can tell it depends on the eggs themselves, maybe their freshness, but it is almost always a certain batch of them that have this issue. Doesn’t really matter how you boil them, or if you put them under cold water afterwards. They’d be hard or easy to peal regardless.
No I’m not and I don’t store my eggs in the fridge. There’s still an inconsistency with the peeling though and it seems to be rather random, but often with several eggs at once.

Are you in the US? We wash our eggs to remove the coating and then we need to refrigerate them. Could make a difference in how they peel.
