i had a parcel sit in an unheated depot at minus eighteen for two days and the powder tested fine
how do people insulate against cold rather than against heat
postal handled winter better than the courier for me, mostly because the courier van sat outside for hours
hold till march
spring ordering is easier and if you can wait, waiting is free

the truck is the risk
powder survived a freeze
coming back after 24 months, has any province changed its position
a lyophilised vial that froze in transit is almost certainly fine. a reconstituted one that froze is a different matter
anyone in the prairies with a long last leg in february

quebec seems to be different again, is that right
[edited]update from 17 months ago: my province still does not cover it and my plan started to, partially
a member in the territories reported everything arriving eventually and nothing arriving quickly
i was wrong in here about a province covering it, i had read about a pilot programme and assumed it was policy
hold till march
