Look at it this way, do you honestly know how it would have been shipped to a store? Amazon is pretty reputable company, wouldn't guess they'd do it any differently than any other.

The flax seed oil is shipped without ice. The company that makes the flax oil say's it's okay to ship like that. I will place an order in the spring for enough to get me through the hot summer months and just freeze them and when I want to start using a bottle I will put it in the refrigerator.

I have always mixed it with wet food. Flax seed needs to be refrigerated as soon as the bag is opened, so a rancid batch might be unappealing to a cat for a good reason. Just a thought.

Mine came with a small container of oil. Seems odd to ship something with fluids in it.

Sorry unsure,( thru the box out with info.)but to better answer go directly on to the companies website, n if you decide to purchase go with a company that ships with cold pack or buy directly from natural food store...I received in mailbox nice n hot which is not good ..bottom line wasted my money

Hi, I apologize for any inconvenience, Amazon handles all of my shipping. I'm sure it was due to the poor weather condition. They also handle all customer concerns but somehow I received your message. I think their experiencing trouble. I sincerely apologize.

I have ordered florastor which is the same product and they did not ship it refrigerated. Apparently, it does not need to be kept cold.I am no expert however.

I have read that someone stored it in the freezer, but I live in Alaska where its nice and dry....I just let it dry up and it lives on the shelf with my other therapy stuff....wintergreen essential oil from YoungLiving pure as it can be...neck rollers, cashmere for poultices...etc

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.

Record cold Valley Forge winter don't know if affected inside gelcaps backup bottle not opened yet--maybe I should check. Brought in from steps right away, & if I remember right was pkgd in bubble wrap in cardboard box. It's usually heat that's more the problem, though some olive oil mayo was found at store purchase to have been separated from the cold. Maybe you can ask shipper to insulate. Against heat, I stock up on perishable online orders before summer, & keep in cooler basement.

Store it in your freezer! It will not solidify, and it lasts for many months there! I keep my Flaxseed, almond flour, and coconut flour in the freezer and take out as much as I need whenever I need it! :)

I placed my order on Apr 23rd 2013, and I'm still awaiting its arrival. When I ordered it, was 80 degrees out. Now it's over 100 degrees. Did my order get lost somewhere? It sure did not ship within one day. It's been over a month now. Luckily, I have a huge box of your grommets awaiting your shade fabric to go with my sunburn.

Hi Marcy, we are happy to help! Air, heat, and light are the three elements necessary to cause a product to go rancid, according to Barlean's Customer Support. Barlean's does not ship their products refrigerated. They state that their products are stable up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and their take on shipping is that a few days in a UPS truck is not going to have an effect on their organic oils. It is not necessary to refrigerate their oils until the bottle is opened, exposing the oil to air and light. We hope this helps! -Jessi V.

You need to look at the "Other Sellers" tab on the product page to see where the seeds are coming from. Amazon is an open market place and does not regulate where seeds come from or where they are shipped to. If you want to support US Seed growers find a seller who is US based and ships within the USA. Hope this helps?

No, I asked the company and Whole Foods about this issue and Barlean's never ships any of their oils or swirls refrigerated to the stores. Apparently, it isn't actually perishable the way that say, eggs or meat would be. But once you open it, you should stick it in the fridge. Even the probiotics that are in the cold case at WF do not arrive at the store via cold ship. You're fine. :)

Order from Vitacost.com. They ship with a cold pack. Watch your mail for when it arrives so it doesn't sit there.
