Requires cool, dry storage below 70 degrees F. How can Amazon assure this temperature is not exceeded, either in storage or in shipment?

They can't of course, especially when their workers are known to be dropping from heatstroke in non-air conditioned warehouses (a summertime problem they may have remedied). As for in-transit, it's best to choose one-day shipping for any vitamin product in order to assure minimum on-the-truck timing. Too, who knows what went on during the shipping of things to your local store?

Since most people connect this to a AC/heater in AC mode the refrigerant run near 40 degree so cooling around that temperature is impossible. In heating mode 45 is easy.

Check with the manufacturer, but personally I wouldn't leave anything out in such heat.

they list it in Celsius as [-20 - +60*C] operating temp and [-30 - +70*C] storage temp per manual pg 33

This does not come in a resealable bag so it needs to be kept in a dry cool place.Also it is harvested here in the US

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'm not aware of any vendor which uses any special packing material, and U.S. Postal Service or UPS are the usual carriers. Unlike some vaccines and insulins, temperature is not super critical: like every supplement, vitamin and over-the-counter medicine (aspirin, etc.) in my house, Qunol Mega instructs to store in a dry place, between 59 and 86 degrees F.My guess is that very prolonged heat is most likely to cause degradation, so one might avoid ordering during the summer months. Note that some vendors will be shipping from Florida, southern California and other warm climes. (This particular product contains 120 'softgels'--a four-month supply.)

I think it should be refrigerated, despite the lack of a manufacturer requirement imho.

The temperature is less of an issue than the moisture. It is not rated for outside use.

On the bottle it is stated: "Store in a dry place at 71 degrees or below. Best if refrigerated."

Yes I believe it solidifies at 74 to 76° You can refrigerated if you'd like

I refrigerate mine when it's very hot so that I can better cool off but when the temperature outside is less than 70 degrees, I keep them on my counter.

It's best stored in a cool dry space. I keep mine sealed in a thick freezer ziplock bag.

I agree with the other comments, make sure to completely dry it before storing and store it where there is no moisture. I haven't had any problems with the one I got.

I do not believe it is a problem as the directions do not mention anything about not storing in hot places.

No. the instructions say it'll keep contents about 40ºF below surrounding area. I doubt you'll be in an area of under about 38ºC.

I have never turned our down lower than 70 degrees and have never had any problems. I would think the fins would freeze over at 61 degrees. These are not refrigeration units.
