How does Amazon ship this? Is it refrigerated when it comes (packed in dry ice?) or room temp?

Unfortunately, Swanson Health Products does not ship any products in cooled environments or dry ice. If a product requires refrigeration, it is stored as such in our warehouse. We have found that delivery the time frame is not long enough to damage the quality or potency. -Swanson Health Products

Here is what Barlean's says, taken from their website: Do you ship the oil refrigerated? Does the transit time affect the oils?Either high heat (over 300 degrees F) or sustained heat over a very long period of time can degrade Omega-3 oils. The relatively short transit times and variable seasonal temperatures encountered during transit have been found to be insignificant when tested extensively. Even shipments arriving in summer heat waves can be assured as being potent and undamaged.

In speaking directly with the manufacturer they indicate when shipping it does not need to be on ice, but recommend refrigerating it upon arrival for continued freshness.

There was NO ice pack and mine took 4 days to get here. It clearly states on the bottle, needs refrigeration!

I just ordered this in the summer. It arrived in an uninsulated box with no ice - and was simply a bag of pricey chocolate ooze. I'd say stock up in the winter or find a seller that ships with an ice pack.

We do not ship with dry ice or any type of coolant. Not required for this product as per Renew Life. House of Nutrition

I suggest you ask The company shipping it. I am a user of the product, not the retailer. It should ship in dry ice just so you know

It is recommended by the manufacturer. If you order the item as a "fulfilled by Amazon" unfortunately the item will not be refrigerated while in-transit.

I ordered from Green DOT sales via Amazon prime and it came without any refrigeration. I even ordered one day shipping thinking it would be better so it would stay cool longer. I tested for activeness and it did NOT pass, both glasses of milk were exactly the same the next day. So I tried to return for a refund but Amazon refused the automatic return so I had to contact customer service, and after I told them about it, they allowed me to return it. I don't think Green DOT sales told Amazon that they need to keep the bottles refrigerated in their warehouses, but that is just my guess.

I ordered it from iHerb.com. They ship it packed in a cooler with ice (gel type freezer packs) and recommend overnight shipping. It arrived cross country the next morning by 10am as promised and still cold.

No- it comes as is, without being kept cold. It's not mandatory that it's kept constantly cold- just recommended. Once you get it, just put it in the fridge. I've been ordering this from Amazon for years and have done it this way without a problem!!

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.

It was not shipped on an ice pack. I understand that this product is ok in room temp.

It should be refrigerated or kept in freezer. It depends on where you get it from. Some places will keep it cold with ice packs on shipping, and some places just ship as is. It can go rancid faster if it hasn't been kept cool.

It arrives to us from the manufacturer Ultradent unrefrigerated. It is stored refrigerated until shipped. It is not shipped by us in a refrigerated box. You will need to store refrigerated when arrives to you. It does not spoil or loose its potency by the way that it is shipped. However, if you aren't going to use it all fairly quickly you will want to refrigerate it.

Hello, we do not refrigerate our products upon shipping. Please be assured we have done testing to ensure the ship item is not long enough to damage the quality or potency of the product.

No, it does not. And it does not need to be refrigerated after you receive it. If you were to buy it in a store, it would be on a shelf in an aisle that is refrigerated. It does need to be prepared in a cool drink though.

Hello Valued Customer, We do not ship any of our product cold-packed or refrigerated. You can be assured the ship time is not long enough to require any kind of temperature-controlled shipping. After much testing, the quality is not compromised during shipping times.

I would not order this product from amazon again. It was warm. Unless you pay extra to overnight it. No ice pack. I ordered it from vitacost which had an ice pack but it wasn't cold by the time I received it. My advice is to order it elsewhere & have it overnighted.
