Is this cold shipped? I understand that it is highly unstable and needs to be refrigerated at all times.

This item is not cold shipped. As the item always is kept in climate controlled facilities with us and the shipping carriers. In the amount of time it takes to deliver, it will not affect the product.

Yes, once it is opened i believe it must be kept cold. It does not need refrigeration while still sealed though.

Yes, it is shipped unrefrigerated but it was delivered within 2 days of shipping out to me. When I got it I put in the fridge and it was fine.

Hi it does not need to be refrigerated, but is much better cold. Each package has the expiration date on them.

Good question. I'm not sure if it has to be refrigerated, but I never did. I just kept it in a cool place out of sunlight and away from areas of increased heat. Maybe contacting the company would provide you with a more specific answer.

Hello, Thank you for contacting Swanson Health Products! We are happy to help! We do not ship products refrigerated. However, please be assured that when a manufacturer formulates a product, they are aware that the product will not be able to be refrigerated 100% of the time.

We ship the products to our customers, exactly how we receive them. Please also be assured that this product is stored at our Swanson facility under refrigeration at all times. As long as your product is sealed and not in direct sunlight, its potency and integrity will not be compromised. We hope this information is helpful!

I don't personally ship anything through Amazon because I'm not a seller since using the site. If you mean how did it come when I did buy it via Amazon's service once in the past, I believe I did receive it on dry ice. I know for sure it ensured delivered cold just so you know.

Hello! In order to maintain the potency of this product, we do require refrigeration once the item is received. However, we do not ship any products in cooled packaging. We have found that the delivery time is not long enough to damage the quality or potency. We hope this information is helpful. Take care. Swanson Health Products

I purchased 2 bottles of this item on 11/28/2012, they are suppose to be refrigerated. I received it on 12/3/2012 with nothing cold on it at all, just plastic, to hold the items in place. Thank you.

Yes...BUT... Like all unprocessed oils cold preserves the integrity of the omega 3 content (I keep mine in the freezer for maximum preservation because it stays liquid), however, unlike most perishables it does not need continuous cold to prevent spoiling. This is why it can be shipped in a normal box. As long as it is kept cold most of the time and especially after it is opened it will be fine (same goes for flax oil). If it gets warm after opening it needs to be used up pretty quick or it will start to go bad. I recommend alternating between hemp and flax for maximum omega fatty acid nutrition. Yes...BUT...

I have never refrigerated it. I've kept it quite a long time and it still was effective.
