I want to buy this, but I'm worried that it will melt and leak during shipping in this warm weather. Did that happen to anyone?

We've never had someone complain of the Bag Balm melting in shipment, but it also might depend on just how hot it is where you are. Sorry we can't be of more help!

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.

It won't melt, it will fry... After the plastic expands and contracts because of the cold/heat, it looses it's integrity and the picture will dry up in flakes =[

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. :-/

Please use discretion when ordering items such as chocolate or taffy that have the potential to melt during the warmer months of the year. Shipping these candies during the warmer months or to warm climates can potentially damage them. We cannot guarantee the condition of melt-able candies and will not be held responsible for damages when shipped under these circumstances. We do include ice packs on orders that have the potential to melt.

Yes ours melted a couple months back, bought a replacement and it wouldn't cool down inside. We found out another friend had the same issue about a month after us. It must be a defect.

They forgot to pack it in dry ice so it melted, I'd say it's no good. I've also experienced some of the bags leaking at the corners which would explain why yours leaked

I don't think it would melt- but it won't last long. We live in an area that gets 100 or more- and it hasn't melted, but I expect it to fade REALLY fast.

I think the lids don't always work well, especially when it comes to those cheaper items. Try keeping the bottle upright when it is in hot water, it generally melts pretty fast.

Wow!! Melted?? If this plastic melted then I doubt the person was even able to get into the water themselves. I just can't imagine a tub of bath water hot enough to melt this, so no I haven't experienced this.

I had no problem with melting. I went directly from a tea kettle with boiling water and put the lid on it.

Unfortunately the same thing happened to me the first time I ordered this a few years back. I ordered it in July, so the oil melted and leaked from the jar a bit (but most of it was still in the container). I use this for my hair, so I only need to order every year or two--so i try to avoid ordering in summer.

I used it as such recently when we had those sub zero degree days. Keep in mind that it does not get SUPER hot, so though it wont melt right through the plastic, if left on for a long period of time (days/weeks), it can destroy the integrity of the plastic and possibly make it "droopy" or bend slightly as the cable has some weight to it. I'd say , fom experiance, if such a pipe is freezing and/or frozen, using it to thaw the pipe should cause no issues. I'll check the installation guide that came with it and if it happens to say different, I will repost. FYI : it works great on standard copper piping and such.

There's a gasket between the pieces at the bottom. You can melt it if you crank the thing up really high without anything in it. Forgot mine while preheating it and the gasket was smoking. Never had a problem when there was stuff in it though. Also ... too hot for too long and the handle can get really hot.

It keeps warm for atleast 4 hours but it is not 100% leak proof, liquids might spill if there is a lot of movement during transportation.Try to keep it straight.

No. As I recall, they were shipped in a priority mail box.I had no problem with them being melted. Order when the weather is cool.
