B12 SI Orders from Hot Germany? :-(

I have been waiting for a break in the Germany weather to re-order my Hydroxy.

I believe it needs to be kept at below 25c - and i worry that temperature in transport will be higher?

Anybody know of places that package to guard against this risk?

Or...is it just a "you take your chances" thing...when it come to re-supply..?

All help / ideas are welcome.. ! :-)

I’m afraid that I’ve not heard of any packaging that is used to insulate the ampoules that we get from German online pharmacies .

It’s the UV light that’s problematic and the temperature in a cargo plane is pretty well maintained as is the cabin pressure.

I freely admit though commute on roads are slightly different weather wise. Most vans have Air Conditioning as if that’s your job, you really do need to be cool to drive for 8 to 12 hours a day.

Although, Southern European countries are very used to this weather. Some of the community jump on planes to hot countries buy a stash. Bring back and it’s all fine.

Thanks to Narwhal and Wedgewood. I have been in contact with two of our German friends and they dont use any insulated packages. In the chat i had, they mentioned that plain cardboard was all they used, and also better for UK customers....nudge nudge...wink..wink..

; -)

I have a supply of cyan for a while and i will wait to see how the weather goes...

Kindest to you both..
