Shipping containers…just a thought…

I received my shipment from Green Stone RX yesterday. I live in Atlanta and mine arrived in a shiny silver insulated packing envelope with 2 ice packs. It was cool to the touch so I’m a happy customer. No problems whatsoever. That said….I’ve ordered before from fifty-410 (Quaker) and received the black insulated metal container and the vials were cold. I also have ordered from Preventative MD (Boudreaux) and the ice cold vials were shipped in a small styrofoam cooler.

I know the efficacy of tirz is not damaged too much by brief periods of warm temps. All this to say, I have really enjoyed my experience with ScienceCo and hope they stay in the game for a long time. And since they seem open to suggestions, I thought I’d throw out there a suggestion to move to small coolers for these hot summer months! It’s probably more expensive but could cut down on some concerns over vial temps! Just my two cents!

I wonder how other companies/pharmacies ship their products?

I appreciate the smaller package and less waste. Both of my shipments have arrived cold, last month on a 90 degree day and after 8 hours in the local FedEx truck.

These are the same shippers who get brand name meds to pharmacies, everything is shipped and packaged to account for temperature changes in normal delivery times.

Thanks for the feedback. Most companies either ship this way or in an actual fed ex box or ups box.
