We, CheeseDelicatessen, ship our products via the United States Postal Service. We use the postal service regional boxes. By your request we may use UPS (for additional charge). So, we combine shipping if you order more then one item, or multiple pounds of one particular item. Flat rate shipping is $17.00 per box. All orders are vacuum sealed and packaged with gel-ice packs to keep cool during shipping. If you order multiple quantities of the same item we may send them as one piece (in this case we consider weight of your product) unless you have specified differently. Orders are shipped to all addresses on Mondays and Tuesday. In some cases we may even ship your order on Wednesdays and Saturdays depends how far away you're located from us and how long USPS's estimated arrival time to your address. After receiving your order we individually make the decision on your shipping day. This is to insure freshness. If shipped after a certain day there is a chance your order will sit in a terminal over the weekend. All orders are shipped from our warehouse in Denver PA 17517. We ship to every state in the U.S.

It does not require refrigeration before or after. It is typically shipped in a box with the plastic air pillows. I would recommend ordering/shipping in the cooler months as opposed to the dead of summer.

Hello John! As with most other supplement companies, we do not ship products with a cold/ice pack. Manufacturers are aware that products are not going to be refrigerated 100% of the time during transit, therefore the amount of organisms exceeds the product label claim to ensure that by the time the product gets to you, it will still contain the amount indicated on the label. We hope this information is helpful! Jessi V.

Hello, Yes, that item is stored in refrigeration and is shipped in a thermal envelope with a cold pack.

It's best to keep refrigerated to maintain its potency and efficacy. But I called the company and it can be shipped unrefrigerated for a short time but not during hot weather. Hope that helps.

You need to store it in a cool dry place, not refrigerated. I,m sure it gets hot in the transport but unless you can get it local you would have to order. Fast delivery will hopefully prevent to much deteriorization.

You soak the pillow in water to cool it, store it in the fridge when not in use, and it fits in a gallon zip bag. Mine does warm up some after a few hours use. I have ordered a 2nd one to swap during the night as needed. This pillow has really helped me stay cool at night.

That's a hard question for me to answer but I can say that as flight crew on over night trips it keeps my food cooler than my other crew members' coolers have. We'll meet in the lobby the next morning and my water bottle will be the only one with condensation. Their water bottles are room temperature even after being in their cooler over night. Mine is always a few degree cooler that crew will ask "how did you keep your's so cold." Now, I think a hot car is something completely different. If you are a Sales Rep for example, in and out of the car, a/c on during drive time etc...I think it'll be ok. If you're a road construction worker w/ his truck parked on the side of the highway all day then I don't recommend. Although, I couldn't name any that would work for that. As flight crew we add ice quite often from the plane and hotels!

In a closed bag, in a styrofome cup with packing material, with heating packets, taped closed, surrounded by heating packets. In a insulated shipping box. It took about two days for ours to get to us and it was still warm.

Probably not. Most places don't send it in a cooler. It needs to be kept cool. If the shipper is Kirkman, they will send with ice pack but add quite a bit to the cost for this. Even so, many times the ice pack is no longer cool when received, especially during hot weather.

Its a storage space which holds stuff, its small, maybe could store a 6-8 pack in there. Its not a cooler. NO heat or cooling.

Unfortunately, Swanson Health Products does not ship any item with a cooled environment. We have found that the delivery time is not long enough to damage the quality or potency of the viable organisms in Probiotics. We hope this is helpful. -Swanson Health Products

I store mine in the original plastic container it was shipped in. It keeps just fine at room temperature and has not separated or anything like that. Hope this helps! :)

Yes. The box, the bottle label, and the package insert all say to refrigerate it. That means for storage. Having it unrefrigerated during shipping is not a big deal, and you don't need to worry about it when you take it with you on travel. It's not going to be ruined like milk if it's unrefrigerated for a few days.

This product is shipped room temperature, but is sealed. The label reads, "Refrigerate after opening."

I started with warm water and let it cool to the desired temp. If I noticed that it got too cool I put a towel over the container to keep some heat.

I just stick one of those blue ice packs in the mesh pocket in carrying case. And I don't know if it helps much but I keep the carrying case in the freezer (when I remember). I've tried putting the stainless steel case in the fridge to pre-chill it, but that makes it sweat. I've heard of people packing it the night before and putting it in the fridge, but maybe that's a different climate (it's humid here). I haven't tried it because I'm afraid it would make a sandwich soggy. The ice pack works great though.
