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 had several orders. The first was sent in glass bottles that did not have tight lids and leaked. The oil was great and I ordered it again but from a different supplier. This was sent in plastic bottles with tight lids and was also wrapped with plastic just in case there was a leak. Yippee! There wasn't! I will continue to order this oil but watch to see how it is wrapped! Also this time it had a yellow plastic handle . It makes it easier to handle.

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.

Just shipping itself kills plants, even in the best weather sometimes.. I suggest to wait for good weather.

When the oil gets cold it solidifies. It's not spoiled. Just take it out and let it warm up and then use it. I keep mine in the refrigerator to prolong it's life.

Hi Masa, If the item is fulfilled by Amazon they determine the shipping method. This particular item (4 lb Select Soap Nuts) is shipped by Amazon. I believe they use both UPS and USPS. If you are purchase an item listed on Amazon but fulfilled (shipped) by NaturOli, we ship by both USPS and FedEx. So either a physical address or a PO Box should be fine in both cases. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. Thanks, Donna

i have not received my seed yet , apparently it got lost but the shipper is re-sending it to me. in the caribbean here we just plant in the soil , but for other countries with snow you have to refridgerate for at least 2 - 4 weeks before planting.

I JUST got 2 Barlean's 32 oz Flax Oil bottles today. It says on the bottom of the rear label that it was "Fresh Pressed" on 1/16/15 AND I ordered it from SwansonVitamins.com a couple days ago. It also say next to the first date, "Freshest Before 7/16/15". Good price - cheaper than healthfood stores! It cost $33& change for one bottle & if I ordered 2 bottles I got free shipping. They ship it in refridgerated conditions.

Mark I believe there is an expiration date on it. I keep my flaxseed in the fridge. Hope this helps.

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.

We do not ship any products in cold packs. We have found that the delivery time is not long enough to damage the quality of Probiotic supplements. Also, reputable companies package their supplements in such a way as to minimize deterioration from heat during transit. The supplement is subject to higher than average temperatures several times during its way from the raw materials supplier to your door, and it has to be packaged to preserve as much of the original potency as possible. Hermetically sealing a supplement provides barrier between your supplement and oxygen, the catalyst element that reacts with heat to cause oxidation or spoilage.We hope this information is helpful. -Swanson Health Products We do not ship any products in cold packs.

If you are home when the package arrives then you shouldn't have a problem. however im not sure about the heat from ups truck. it specifically states on bottle to keep out of heat. I got my money back from amazon on this item and purchased from Costco. this is an item to get shipped in the wintertime only in my opinion.

Yes...BUT... Like all unprocessed oils cold preserves the integrity of the omega 3 content (I keep mine in the freezer for maximum preservation because it stays liquid), however, unlike most perishables it does not need continuous cold to prevent spoiling. This is why it can be shipped in a normal box. As long as it is kept cold most of the time and especially after it is opened it will be fine (same goes for flax oil). If it gets warm after opening it needs to be used up pretty quick or it will start to go bad. I recommend alternating between hemp and flax for maximum omega fatty acid nutrition.

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! :)

Mine came today. Yes it was heavy, it had insulation around it as well as 2 (formerly) cold packs in the box. The Fed Ex guy didn't knock or any thing to let me know it was delivered and set it in the sun despite the "perishable " tag on it. Thank goodness they were still fine. I ordered a smaller box previously, it had no extra wrapping but they were fine as well, it was colder out though. I had read a lot of reviews stating a problem with melting. Glad mine made it intact with the shiny shell and yummy melting goo!
