Will the product get damaged if the package sits outside until I get home in the cold temperatures and freezes?

Although vitamin C is a very essential vitamin but it is a very unstable vitamin. Due to its oxidizing property it could not be preserved for a long period of time. Vitamin C degrades on high temperature. Regarding your question, I don't think there is any issue with your product if the package sits outside for couple hours in the cold temperature.

It's OK if it freezes. It's a very durable product as long as you don't overfill it it works the same frozen or not.

I leave mine outside until winter in a Northern ocean climate. It gets rough treatment and does well. When it is closed, it should survive ice and snow.

Hi, I have ordered this product twice so far and it does not ship cold. I refrigerate the package once I get it. The weather has been cool so far when the was recieved but I'm nit sure if ut's shipped differently in warm weather

Sorry. Pushed send too soon. If you freeze the bag ahead then pack it as you head to he airport, you should be fine. Carey it onboard. In 5-6 hours it should remain cool.

It will die if it is freezing and you put it outside. You will need to keep it indoors until the danger of frost is over. When I put mine outsode , I keep it in a pot.

I've had it only for this summer but if you were to cover it when you winterize your system it should be fine. It looks like it would survive freezing if you forgot to cover it during winter but it may shorten its life.

I don't live in snow country; I'm in Texas. The post is heavy duty, the box is a medium grade thickness. If your expecting snow plows, I would place a plastic trash can over it to absorb the impact and not scratch the paint on the box.

Nope. It is too cold outside right now for the culture to be affected. Do put it into your freezer though. The cultures will fail if they are left out for a longer period of time.

I'm fairly certain it would be destroyed if submerged since it has a battery compartment that is not sealed. A bit of damp weather is probably ok. Too small to stay upright in heavy wind. I haven't used it outside in snow, so I don't know how below freezing temps would affect it. Contacting the manufacturer would probably give you a better idea of the product's limitations.

I don't know if it won't freeze but I ordered mine in Jan and its been cold here. It arrived fine. You can ask the company. They're great about helping.

That would depend on your location. The bucket does contain water in foil packets. In a cold environment the water would freeze and possibly rupture the packet. This is unlikely but possible and should be taken in consideration.Removing the water packets is the easiest solution.

AThis 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

Yep. Mine is outside. I set it flat on the ground initially. It thawed the frozen ground and then froze down, so now I have it set on a small piece of wood. Works great!

I live in South Florida so freezing isn't an issue. I do not know if it will freeze. It is a fantastic product, works beautifully

We live in the Pacific NW so freezing is not really an issue here as it rarely drops below zero. We have ours stored in the garage and didn't have any problems over the winter.
