Can these be shipped in summer without damage? And do they have to be refrigerated after opening?

Hi Dolores Randall, Viva Labs ships its krill oil in the summer without any damage to outer packaging or inner contents. We state on our package that krill oil can be refrigerated after opening, however it is not mandatory. We do recommend that the bottle be stored in a cool, dry place. Hope this helps answer your question, and if you have any other questions you can reach us by responding to this comment thread or by email at amazon@vivalabs.com.

Hi! It doesn't need to be refrigerated and they can go in your luggage, but not your carry on. Thank you!

Yes they are raw unsalted. Recommendation is to refrigerate after opening also.

Even though they can be packed with ice, are they kept refrigerated while in storage before we even purchase them???

no there packed in salt and will be fine once you open them then you should refrigerate.

I don't know, but I doubt it. I don't think you have to refrigerate until after opening the seal. I didn't do that anyway because I forgot to take them. I didn't notice any weakening of the product as a consequence though.

They don't need to be refrigerated. I have used these in the Gobi Desert, Central America and the South Pacific. They had no problem holding up to heat. They of course should not get wet.

No. As I recall, they were shipped in a priority mail box.I had no problem with them being melted. Order when the weather is cool.

I never noticed the "refrigerate after opening" until I read this question and I never refrigerated any of the bags I have bought and enjoyed over the last 8 months. They are so good that I don't have them open too long. Also I frequently store them in a glass jar with a lid to keep out any exploring bugs.

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 can't imagine them going bad. My package sat at a gate in the sun all day. Arrived home from work and they looked melted so I left them in an air conditioned room all night. The next morning they were perfect and delicious. If they made it thru that test they should be fine.

We ate 1 of the 5lb bags throughout 4 months and they were just as good as when we first opened. If they're properly sealed I'm sure they will be fine by July. And maybe not refrigerate them, because when they warm up again they don't taste the same.

I used to get them at Costco and never refrigerated them. They were delicious. I do live in a moderate climate that never gets above 70 degrees F, so in a hot place I would refrig during the summer.

the bottle says it requires refrigeration after opening, and no they do not ship cold...

No!! They are fully dried and do not need refrigeration, at any time while they are in the dry state. Once you add water and re-hydrating them yes they need to be refrigeration.
