Cold weather shipping will not be a problem. Moss can go dormant and freeze this will not harm it in any way.

This can happen because of condensation. If the unit goes from a heated warehouse to the cold delivery truck

I used thick (2-3 inch) heavy tape to close it to make sure it was secure. I also used ice packs. Sent it overnight and when my daughter received pkg., everything was still cold.

We used ours on a road trip from northern Michigan to Utah over Thanksgiving. It was cold -below freezing- for much of the trip, but not terribly so. The vinyl and the zippers were operational and our contents remained dry, but it wasn't really wet or icy.

I got mine in the winter months and they were packed right and did not freeze even though they were left at my mail box. It was not below zero when they came but it was freezing.

Probably not. Most places don't send it in a cooler. It needs to be kept cool. If the shipper is Kirkman, they will send with ice pack but add quite a bit to the cost for this. Even so, many times the ice pack is no longer cool when received, especially during hot weather.

I did not receive a cold pack with mine (it arrived in the winter so it was plenty cold from that). If you put it in the fridge upon receiving, the integrity of the product shouldn't be compromised.

If you can purchase an insulated box from them. I ordered mine when the weather was warmer and they were sent open to the air in a net bag. Worked fine then but I am afraid they would freeze now. It took about 5 days to receive.

I know there are products that maintain the temperature at a safe level, such as small filled pouches with dry ice. I think this is how most shippers will use when sending their products.

We do not ship any products in cold packs. We have found that the delivery time is not long enough to damage the quality of Probiotic supplements. Also, reputable companies package their supplements in such a way as to minimize deterioration from heat during transit. The supplement is subject to higher than average temperatures several times during its way from the raw materials supplier to your door, and it has to be packaged to preserve as much of the original potency as possible. Hermetically sealing a supplement provides barrier between your supplement and oxygen, the catalyst element that reacts with heat to cause oxidation or spoilage.We hope this information is helpful. -Swanson Health Products We do not ship any products in cold packs.

We ship out all of our packages in a standard cardboard boxes. The shipping delivery is quick enough that the cold pack packaging is not needed.

Not at all. It clouds up when it gets cold which probably happens in the shipping trucks. I'm just finishing up my second delivery of 6 bottles and have to order more. Good stuff.

Debbie, I have contacted the manufacturer about this. They have determined the following: The relatively short transit times and variable seasonal temperatures encountered during transit have been found to be insignificant when tested extensively. Even shipments arriving in summer heat waves can be assured as being potent and undamaged.

They can't of course, especially when their workers are known to be dropping from heatstroke in non-air conditioned warehouses (a summertime problem they may have remedied). As for in-transit, it's best to choose one-day shipping for any vitamin product in order to assure minimum on-the-truck timing. Too, who knows what went on during the shipping of things to your local store?

They do but the company will usually only ship in appropriate temperatures. If the little guy does perish on the way, the company usually replaces it (unless it was negligence on the part of the purchaser, for example not being home to receive the delivery and leaving it outside for days).
