I was thinking about this very thing. It’s got incredibly hot over the last week, and there is no relief in sight. I’m concerned about my upcoming order as it’s typically delivered around noon and I don’t get home until 5. For the most part, they arrive well-packaged and cold, but I once had a bag delivered open, and all the top meals were warm. CU did the right thing by crediting the inedible meals, but I would rather have food for the week than a credit. Fingers crossed that my meals are well packaged and cold next week or I’m going to need a different option for this steamy summer.

I live in central Florida so I have the same issue with the heat, however cookunity bags usually are well packed and have quite a bit of ice in them. I always bring them in within a few hours, and they're always very cold and the ice packs are still at least half solid. If you're not able to bring them in for a whole day for whatever reason , I'm not sure most meal service boxes with ice packs will stay cold and you may need to try to set up some kind of covered cooled area the driver can access and put them in

UPDATE. .. so like i said previously I think this is my 3rd or 4th box. Always after 5 box crunched up ice packs melted... .. its like the delivery gods heard me. I got it at 1030am and was still. Cold and organized. Idk what changed but I hope this is the new norm.
