The globe acts as an insulator. The steinernema glaseri specie of nematodes will withstand high temperatures for several days of shipping but should be refrigerated upon receipt, keep refrigerated until used. The cold keeps the nematodes inactive, so they last longer in storage.

NO. I ordered this once in the middle of summer and the nematodes arrived baked and dead (Amazon refunded me - thanks!). Make sure you order this during seasonable temps.

AThis item is not cold shipped. As the item always is kept in climate controlled facilities with us and the shipping carriers. In the amount of time it takes to deliver, it will not affect the product

Hi! I've ordered this twice and both times it arrived packed with an ice pack. However, the orders were from different vendors (both with prime shipping) and one arrived with a still partially frozen ice pack (Vitamin Partners) and the other arrived with a completely melted, warm ice pack (Blue Sky Vitamin).

Hello John! As with most other supplement companies, we do not ship products with a cold/ice pack. Manufacturers are aware that products are not going to be refrigerated 100% of the time during transit, therefore the amount of organisms exceeds the product label claim to ensure that by the time the product gets to you, it will still contain the amount indicated on the label. We hope this information is helpful! Jessi V.

Unfortunately, Swanson Health Products does not ship any product with a cold pack. We have found that the delivery time is not long enough to damage the quality or potency of Probiotics. -Swanson Health Products

Hello, Unfortunately we do not ship items with ice packs. When a manufacturer formulates a probiotic, they are aware that the product will not be able to be refrigerated 100% of the time. The manufacturer knows that products will not be shipped refrigerated, therefore there is a very decent amount of time allowed so that a product can be shipped and still exceed its potency. Please also be assured that this product is stored at our temperature-controlled facility at all times. As long as your product is sealed and not in direct sunlight, its potency and integrity will not be compromised. We also send probiotics continually to third party laboratories in all months, including the hottest ones, to ensure that the product does hold up to the label claims. So far we have ran into no issues concerning the products. We hope this information is helpful! Best in Health, Jessi V.

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.

I know the retailer ships the product to our company in a cold pack and I ship it to Amazon in a cold pack. I am not sure if Amazon also ships it in a cold pack. I have emailed them and asked them. I am awaiting their response and will let you know what they say.

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.

According to several of the reviews, it is NOT shipped with a cold pack. Bummer.

Correction to our previous answer- we use ice packs in shipping during warm months or shipping to warm climates. In the winter, shipping to cold states, the temperature maintained during shipping is well below room temperature, and an ice pack is not required.

this particular company did not ship in ice pack. however it was 2 day shipping and so is fine in cold weather. Summer......one needs to find a supplier who uses the ice pack.
