Yes this product can be shipped to Venezuela and would be shipped with ice in a double insulated container

I recall it stating on the box that refrigeration was not required because of its special container (but I do anyway, just in case it helps slow the staling).

I am not an expert but I would say that it would be fine to have it delivered by plane. People travel all the time and have to bring their medications, supplements etc. as long as it's not kept in extreme temperatures I think you'll be fine!

I buy it at the health food store and they keep these little critters refrigerated so I think they need to be...unless the shipper can guarantee it in a refrigerated envelope.

Even in summer, the product is only out of refrigeration for a few days during shipping, which is not enough time to cause deterioration below the stated cfus. Over the summer we may add expedited shipping options for those requesting it.

I ask the same question thinking the probiotic would need refrigeration. No. It doesn't ship cold.

It is shipped U.P.S.Special processing allows the milk to be stored without refrigeration. While it's better to store this in a cool place, It is fine stored in a cabinet.

I guess because it would require a refrigeration unit or a detachable cleanable container.

It does need to be refrigerated, but the temps indicated on the bottle would accomodate normal transport. It's just not supposed to be stored at hot temperatures, basically. Room temp ok and refrigeration when you get it.

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!

The storage handling on the label states to store at controlled temperatures. It would be assumed that shipping and handling should also be at controlled temperatures. However, "controlled temperatures" is not clarified. I store mine where it will be cool and not frozen or subject to hot temperatures.

Hello! We do not use refrigerated carriers to ship orders. Please be assured that the product is hermetically sealed and the probiotic count exceeds the label claim to ensure all label claims hold true at the point of receipt for the customer. Refrigeration is recommended once opened. We hope this information is helpful!

Refrigeration not necessary....does not suggest that anywhere on the packaging.

It is not refrigerated when it is delivered. you would have to contact Amazon itself to know if it is refrigerated in the warehouse. My GUESS would be no, but it it is just a guess.

You would have to see whether your courier company can get it to its destination in 3-4 days. I know DHL provides refrigeration services as well in case the package is held up in customs. If it arrives and the ice pack is still cold although not icy, it should be ok.
