Is it safe to ship this during summer as it said 'raw'?

Dear Stacey, We ship all probiotics with an ice pack. However, in accordance to the manufacturer's shipping policy, the ice packs will not remain frozen. As long as the probiotics are shipped with a frozen ice pack, there potency will be maintained during transit, even if the ice pack is completely warm and thawed upon arrival. Please contact us with any additional questions. THDV Staff

The product says "BEST REFRIGERATED", but also says to keep between a certain temperature range. The biggest thing is that if the product is being shipping not refrigerated, you are talking about major damage being occurred. Add to that that the UPS box stays sitting in the heat outside for hours before you can retrieve the box...and you have a problem.

Local producers here in WV warm honey to around body temp to package it. I can't swear it is totally raw, but it appears to be heated some for packaging. We love its flavor. I have one bottle that has crystalized just like what I buy from my neighbor does.

Just shipping itself kills plants, even in the best weather sometimes.. I suggest to wait for good weather.

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 have always had them shipped directly to my granddaughter in university. She has never indicated a problem and I trust the company to not ship items out of date.

I would only trust USA based sellers. Anyone shipping from the UK will be subject to Customs, FDA and USDA intervention and cannot guarantee safe delivery.

No, not at all. It is a veggie capsule, and raw means that it is pure from the fruit. I hope this helps...

Absolutely. Just keep it wrapped & stored appropriately (ie: avoid temperature extremes). Perhaps wait to wrap it until a day or hours before gifting. But definitely can be done.

I live in the desert S.W. and I have FortiFlora shipped priority overnight. In the summer it is worth it.I track so I can contact the shipper as to when he will be by my house the next day. I buy enough boxes to last 6 to 8 weeks at a time. It is more cost effective shipping durning the hot months. I hope this helps you. Also, it does not hurt to see if the vender will give you a break on shipping. Living in hot areas does have it drawbacks for products like this. So, yes, as far as I know it will kill the culture if left outside for very long. But I will say this, it has been great for my two old lady dogs with sensitive stomachs. It works well with their special diets. LCR

Only the people shipping it will know for sure. I've always had a few months to use it though and it'd not like it actually goes bad on that date.

I received my order of Primal Defense which was delivered in my mail box. I didn't know it was put in my mailbox until the next day and temperatures are over 100 outside. My bottle of probiotics was very hot because it sat in a hot environment for 24 hours. Do you think that is a problem for the quality of the product?

Raw is apparently not processed, but pure. Any mixes I understand are processed.

to me, raw means unheated past about 100 degrees or so. low enough heat that it wouldn't kill anything good. this is smooth looking. beyond that, i really can't say. you could contact the company if you have more questions. i will say i love it! especially in the winter. i usually use at night.

I do not know-- you would have to address he seller for date on item. I go some, it was fine. As long as it is stored in a cool place, not in the sun, and no opened-- should be ok. I have used my C even when it stars to turn orangish-- my skin technician says that it is still ok. I have not had a problem.

Weather is usually at fault when Phoenix Worms arrive in poor condition. When your temps are below 45° or above 85°, we offer 100% live delivery guarantee if we can ship these to your local post office, no matter how hot or cold it is. Just put the words "Hold for Pickup" in one of your shipping address fields or contact us shortly after ordering (we ship fast!), and we will take care of the rest.
