Melting? How do you prevent from melting when shipping?

They use a frozen baggy, like you would put in your cooler, last about 6 hours and then melts leaving NO CHILL, plus they make it worse by putting this in a silver sealed bubble insulated outer bag, that after the frozen bag melts, it gets hotter inside the insulated bag.........a mess when it's hot outside, since it lays in the UPS truck for at least 6 hours while out for delivery, plus the travel to and from their hub. Best ordered in the fall, winter and early spring.

I would use windex or glass cleaner or a liquid cleaner that won't melt plastic! Obviously, a scrubbing pad and powders like Comet or Ajax, etc. won't work.

Some people say "yes" , but I don't know anybody in person who has that problem. In my case no any problem with melting or damaging.

I do it 2 ways. I either wait a few minutes so I guess it's considered "slightly" melted and it comes out....Or I kind of pound it on the counter like ice cubes and it comes out.

It depends on how badly they're stuck. It happens when they get too warm. It's happened to me in shipping in hot weather. If they aren't too badly stuck, you can peel them apart, but a couple of times mine were welded into a solid mass. I contacted the seller and returned them for an exchange (when the weather was cooler!). In your own home, store them in a cool place out of direct sunlight. I had one jar start to melt together because I had it out where morning sunlight coming through a window hit the bottle.

I have never had a problem with this product, however if you check out the packaging there is contact information and instructions on how to proceed in the event of an issue. You can always contact the shipper for this information also. Hope this helps.

mines were melted as well. I just pulled a small amount off and still eat it. Some you can pull a part with no problem. I am thinking, keep in refrig during the summer time.

I used thick (2-3 inch) heavy tape to close it to make sure it was secure. I also used ice packs. Sent it overnight and when my daughter received pkg., everything was still cold.

Maybe pulling it out and shaking it might help. Also, that will happen if any of the packing plastic remains. I hope this helps. Good luck!

In my experience of making food weekly for my daughter for 6 months straight, I didn't experience either of the above mentioned issues. I was always sure not to overfill the container during steaming (which I would guess would contribute to melting) and I always washed it promptly and allowed the unit to dry while washing the pieces (which may have helped ward off molding). However, I have no experience with the other product mentioned. I just know I'm very happy with my cuisinartbaby!! :)

I'd recommend you pack it in the original shipping container. I see no reason why that wouldn't work. FYI - this unit does provide good heat but be careful, i.e the top metal cover gets extremely hot.

It comes with ice trays so you can freeze it yourself but I'm guessing actual ice would melt in shipping.

HI the probiotics companies allow for some die off when shipping. They have more of the bacteria strains then what is listed on the box. We do have ice packs that we can ship with and just request it. Please note the ice will melt before the item gets there but will keep cool for a while but it will not be like when you ship meat on dry ice or anything like that.

I have never had any problem with melting and have been using for several years. I never cook above 350.

It will solidify at room temp. It probably just got too warm while shipping.

I mainly use my coasters with cold and noticed that the water pooling did cause some damage. It seems hot might cause an indent or melt. :-/

No, the product will not melt but will become a little more tacky. I have had mine for a few months now and noticed that with the change in temp. (summer to winter or from around 90f to 20f) the Sticky will become a little more brittle and a little less tacky. It seems also to pick up every bit of dust in the air, because of the tacky nature of the plastic it is made of. Still works well and holds items but a little less tacky than first purchased. Have had item a few months now. Its not expensive so I would say give it a try.
