nobody here can tell you a vial is safe. we can tell you what has and has not survived for us

a few hours at room temperature is almost certainly nothing. a week is a different conversation
flying with vials, hand luggage or checked
how cold is too cold, can it actually freeze in a normal fridge
door shelf or back of the fridge

how do you keep it cold on a long drive in summer
reconstituted solution is the fragile part. that is where the cold chain actually earns its keep
i keep everything at the back of the middle shelf, never the door, your mileage will differ
solution is not
two to eight
parcel sat in a hot mailbox for 6 hours, is it dead
anyone had a vial visibly change after a warm transit
sorry to jump in a cooler with two gel packs held under eight degrees for eleven hours on a drive
