I live in Phoenix and it's 110 degrees here. Will these oil pastels melt in the mail? I'm afraid the answer is yes...just asking.

Hello it will depend on your method of shipping, if you have prime you will receive air shipping and very less likely to melt. If you choose ground service it might be possible to melt depending on your carriers route

I wouldn't even consider it! Would get too hot to handle. Also, what would one do with leftover heated oil? Flavor change for sure. Too attractive to take a chance on damaging the appearance by exposing it to excessive heat. mmm

Your kidding, right? I have found the bowls are barely "warm " to the touch. Just came in from letting flock out of their coops. It is 12 degrees and water was still perfect, & kept them hydrated through the night. Mine sets on a short wooden box. Perhaps if you put them on a additional heated surface but that is even hard for me to buy into. They are a blessing to us.

No, the product will not melt but will become a little more tacky. I have had mine for a few months now and noticed that with the change in temp. (summer to winter or from around 90f to 20f) the Sticky will become a little more brittle and a little less tacky. It seems also to pick up every bit of dust in the air, because of the tacky nature of the plastic it is made of. Still works well and holds items but a little less tacky than first purchased. Have had item a few months now. Its not expensive so I would say give it a try.

I'd follow the Kurtzon response with high temp paint.They do get too hot to lay your hands for too long.

I'm not sure what time my plants were delivered, but they survived the temps ok. It's prob in the low 40s-upper 30s in the hall where my mail gets dropped. Certainly won't be great for them if they're left out on a cold doorstep or mailbox for hours, but mine seem just fine.

They are NOT all metallic which is great for softening/blending the 'too shimmery' look. Make sure to keep them in a cool dry place. I bought mine during summer and many of them partly melted and broke because of the heat sitting in the mailbox.

I bought these for my dad on his birthday. I wasn't there when he received them cause we live in different states but he enjoyed them. They weren't melted together or anything. I wish you luck!

I haven't stored mine in the heat, but I have had some that arrived melted together. It didn't impact the performance though.

Possibly ask the manufacturer? I know this is months late and I apologize for neglecting the email. I don't think it is a terribly high temp, but I wouldn't touch it with bare skin. It melted the stencil material that I bought to use with it just fine; I'm thinking it's in the ballpark temperature of a wood-burning pen, but I don't know how many degrees that is.

Hello and good morning, I have two different styles one for summer (this one)and a heated base one. I really think it would chip or shatter with a freeze. Hope this helps! good luck

ive had them shipped in colder weather....they will put in a heat pack and these are overnighted I believe... if your going to be home to receive it from the carrier id say they should be fine ..but I wouldn't leave them out in a mail box all day till you get home from work..

I placed my order on Apr 23rd 2013, and I'm still awaiting its arrival. When I ordered it, was 80 degrees out. Now it's over 100 degrees. Did my order get lost somewhere? It sure did not ship within one day. It's been over a month now. Luckily, I have a huge box of your grommets awaiting your shade fabric to go with my sunburn.

If you use Prime shipping I wouldn't imagine they'd melt before arriving. Always buy through AMAZON and not the third partys that ship themselves as Amazon rocks when it comes to returns and customer service. If they arrive in one large ball of coffee, send them back.. its free to do so.

I am in So. California and use them at dog agility practice and trials where temps can be up to 100 degrees. So far I have experienced no loss of effectiveness. I do carry them in the outer pocket of my cooler bag and out of direct sun but I know they still get warm as any chocolate energy bars melt. At home I do not refrigerate them.

Of course not, they would melt!! :-) This unit is awesome, definitely worth buying!

I don't think you have to worry about environmental temperature affecting it. A lot of what I've written I've left inside my car in really hot temperatures and it's been fine. The only time the ink has disappeared was when I wrote on my pizza box, then I put it in the microwave later, all of the ink was gone haha
