the winter risk in canada is freezing rather than cooking, and this channel took a while to internalise that

FF

i ask for gel packs even in january because the mass slows the temperature swing, not because it warms anything

BR

does anyone hold their orders between december and march

coverage in canada is provincial and it is a patchwork. what a member in one province reported has almost never matched another

YV

any figure in this channel is dated. canadian pricing and coverage both moved while i was reading about them

BR

a frozen and thawed reconstituted vial is the one thing i would not use, and i cannot point you at a study for that

YV

a lyophilised vial that froze in transit is almost certainly fine. a reconstituted one that froze is a different matter

TT

a member in the territories reported everything arriving eventually and nothing arriving quickly

postal in winter

🔥1💀5
QH

i keep six weeks of stock going into winter rather than four, and that came out of one bad february, i think

PP

does the postal service or the courier handle winter better
