How is it packaged? It must remain cold which is why I ask.

Do not buy this. It wasn't packed on ice. It sat in my hot mailbox all day during August. Completely ruined! Waste of money. The bottle says clearly don't get hot and to refrigerate.

It is out in a box without anything to keep it cool or insulate it. Do not purchase this from here. You'll get dead probiotics.

It comes in the carton in bottle shown with cotton padding inside above and below. I store it in the fridge in the bottle. It's one of the assured dairy-free products I've found.

It depends where it's coming from, I never had a problem with the Vitamin Shoppe, but unless Amazon has corrected the problem with storage in their warehouse it not packaged correctly and is questionable.

P.S. I try to buy it at Whole Foods, which is the closest vendor (and it's refrigerated there), but that's almost two hours away, so I keep a bottle as a backup for the in-betweens.

It's in brown paper in a box which is fine in the winter. It doesn't have to be refrigerated, it's just a good idea. This company guarantees the bacteria are alive by the exp. on the bottle, not the day it leaves manufacture.

I can't remember. Sorry. I buy it at a neighborhood health food store now from its refrigerated case.

Hello, Yes, that item is stored in refrigeration and is shipped in a thermal envelope with a cold pack.

Just use the standard label, make sure the package is not wet or has any ice on it

No, mine was shipped to me in box with other items and not cold. Which makes it useless...

Yes, it comes in air tight plastic( individually wrapped). It is shipped with cold packs and needs to be refrigerated upon arrival. Hope that helps.

Hello, Unfortunately, we do not offer ice packs within packaging. Shipping time is not long enough to have a significant impact on the quality of the products. We test our products throughout the shelf life to ensure they meet the label claim. We ship our products to Arizona to be tested for potency and purity by independent third party labs. Please be assured the potency is still meeting label claim despite shipment in high temperatures. We hope this information is helpful. If there is anything else we can assist you with, please let us know! -Anna H.

Put it in a plastic bag and stick in the freezer. Overnight would be best so it stays cold, but if you need it in a hurry try it in the freezer for an hour or so.

I imagine that it must be packaged somehow (certainly very nicely), but I am unable to give any relevant answer as my order has never arrived. That is all I can say.I. E.

They use a frozen baggy, like you would put in your cooler, last about 6 hours and then melts leaving NO CHILL, plus they make it worse by putting this in a silver sealed bubble insulated outer bag, that after the frozen bag melts, it gets hotter inside the insulated bag.........a mess when it's hot outside, since it lays in the UPS truck for at least 6 hours while out for delivery, plus the travel to and from their hub. Best ordered in the fall, winter and early spring.

It's still in the box, too cold to go out. However, most can be with low flow rate.

Weather will not be a factor on this box. It's solidly constructed, injection molded plastic. It doesn't become brittle when cold.

Mine was not sent with a cold pac , which is why I never ordered it through Amazon again...I buy it locally to ensure it stays cold...if you order through Amazon, you might want to call the company who you are ordering it through to make sure it's packaged correctly..

In a closed bag, in a styrofome cup with packing material, with heating packets, taped closed, surrounded by heating packets. In a insulated shipping box. It took about two days for ours to get to us and it was still warm.

Mine arrived with a cold pack that was completely melted and warm. So, my product arrived warm and NOT chilled as expected.

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.

I don't personally ship anything through Amazon because I'm not a seller since using the site. If you mean how did it come when I did buy it via Amazon's service once in the past, I believe I did receive it on dry ice. I know for sure it ensured delivered cold just so you know.

I've not needed, thankfully, in negative temps. but I've had it with me and I'd tend to believe it will function, of course I keep it accessible so body warmth will keep it from possible freezing, if its "packed" then whats the point of having it?
