If they freeze during transit, will they work when thawed?

I have bought a lot of generic ink cartridges from Amazon Vendors. I don't remember each of the Company Names, but Amazon would have a record. I have had superior use from all of the generic cartridges. I would not have any way of knowing, whether a shipment had been frozen. I cannot imagine USPS or FedEx, Etc, allowing fragile cargo to be frozen. I will try freezing one to find out. I have had my printer reject generic cartridges, for not being from Prioritized Company Brands. So far, If I go ahead and install the cartridge, and reboot the printer, it will forget that it had rejected the generic cartridge, and charge it properly. So far, I have had no difficulty using Generic Cartridges From Amazon! The price charged by Prioritized Company Names, is like a crime against the people. Hope this helps; Mason!!

According to the folks at Kanberra the product will freeze and stop working, however mold/mildew also will stop growing/forming in freezing temperatures. When it warms up the product will thaw and start working again with no problems.

We ship them frozen so they arrive partially thawed and yes they can be re-frozen for later use. Average size is 3-4" long ("hotel" size, as they're called)

I froze mine. It has special extra long lasting cubes in the gel and will stay ultra cold for an hour. You will freeze before it thaws.

I don't know if they will work in the dead of winter. I still have mine turned on and so far it has been down to 19 F. They tell you not to leave the batteries in during real cold weather so when it get down a little more I will take the batteries out until early spring.

Not the pre freezed ones. These takes longer but since it is very small, couple hours should do

I'm sure they will... I use them on Rubbermaid storage containers that are kept in the garage where it often reaches single digit temperatures in the winter, and I've yet to have a label fail. I've also used one of the labels on my mailbox where it is exposed to not only subzero temps, but also rain, snow, hail, and the heat of summer... the label looks as good as it did when it was installed a couple years ago. I don't think a freezer will have any impact on the holding power of these labels, but I suppose it might matter what they are stuck to.

Deb, I did freeze them since I purchased 4 pkgs--it was fine I had no problem and they defrost quicklythey are delicious ---oh and I had them in the freezer for about 3-4 months

I'm not sure about freezing. I'd think you could but they have a 6 month shelf life :)

I have never had it freeze on me, but I would say it should be good. Ya might want to contact the manufacturer.

YES, they can. I put a packet in the freezer and held it there for two days, then let it thaw, then repeated the process. No leaks! Important to me because I carry packets in my off road vehicle in freezing temps. I needed confidence that the H2O I kept for just in case would be usable despite several freezing / thawing cycles.

It should not be an issue. I am not sure what the cold rating is. It gets down to -20f here and they work fine.

Yes. I've only ever flown them in January in below freezing temps with snow on the ground.

Never. I wonder if yours got exposed to high temperatures in transit ? Just return for exchange.

if it is going to freeze yes. Other wise it is probably a good idea even if it doesn't freeze.

I have not tried to freeze them. And I don't think it would work very well. If the expanding liquid didn't break them, the extreme cold would probably make them more prone to crack

I haven't spent a winter with mine. But my husband doesn't think it will freeze because of the small surface of contact within the metal parts. I live in a very cold area during winter too. We feel they should work year round.
