I read that this needs to be kept below 70 degrees. How is it shipped and does a warm warehouse and/or truck render this product useless?

Thank you for contacting us. This item ships by USPS. Our warehouse is climate controled. The time from us to you by usps will not render this product useless. Thanks

If it is fulfilled by Amazon (Prime or free shipping), it is shipped refrigerated directly from Metagenics to Amazon at the beginning of the week so it will reach them quickly and not sit in a hot UPS truck over the weekend. This product sells out very fast, so it doesn't stay in the warehouse very long. I have been using Metagenics products for over 15 years, always with great results. After seeing all the comments about refrigeration, I checked directly with the manufacturer. They told me they do not have to be stored in refrigeration once they arrive unless the room is very hot. Their probiotics are guaranteed potent to label claim until the date of expiration at room temperature. There are no problems with Amazon's storage. They are stable up to 90 degrees F; I can't imagine a working warehouse would be that hot. I don't know if Amazon ships them in a refrigerated carton; I hope this info helps!

No issues with our handle. Just wondering if the extremely cold weather in some parts of the country may have contributed to that. During shipment, going from a heated freight terminal to the back of a cold truck?

It should be kept refrigerated. It's kept that way in stores, and most mail order retailers ship it cold. I would not order in summer, because they didn't cold package it.

Weather is usually at fault when Phoenix Worms arrive in poor condition. When your temps are below 45° or above 85°, we offer 100% live delivery guarantee if we can ship these to your local post office, no matter how hot or cold it is. Just put the words "Hold for Pickup" in one of your shipping address fields or contact us shortly after ordering (we ship fast!), and we will take care of the rest.

I just ordered this and when I received it the bottle was about 100 degrees. I'm sending it back. There's no way to tell if the product is viable.

Mines been in my truck during coldest winter CO has this past season and well over 100 this summer. Keep it out of direct sunlight and I'm sure you'll be OK.

To my knowledge it does not need to be refrigerated and is not shipped cold. I do not refrigerate mine, but I also keep my house below 75 degrees.

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.

It says to store below 120F (49C) but nothing about what the best temp to use it at. As with any adhesive if it is too cold it will take longer and too hot it will dry super fast. I used it when it was about 70F and it works awesome.

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 buying from Amazon (Prime fulfilled) then it likely doesn't matter whether this oil stored cold. Amazon warehouses have *very* high turnover for grocery products like this. Short term warm storage won't harm the oil. "Either high heat (over 300 degrees F) or sustained heat over a very long period of time can degrade Omega-3 oils. 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." -- Barleans.com FAQ If buying from Amazon (Prime fulfilled) then it likely doesn't matter whether this oil stored cold.

Mine had a chill pack that was shipped with it. I would still liked to have seen it insulated as I can see it sitting in the sun in the delivery truck with temperatures easily exceeding 84 degrees F. I threw the chill pack out so I don't know if it was a chemical endothermic type or not. If it was just frozen the latent heat of formation should carry it through one session of high heat early in the journey.

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.

According to the bottle, it says to keep at 73 degrees F or below and best if refrigerated. Hope this helps.
