As a chef I've only heard of cold steeping a few times (usually to release salts etc. I specialize in tea flavored foods and only steep in hot warm and room temp.
Steeping?

i let em sit in the box, but usually each day the flavors change till about 1-2 weeks, depending on the vendor they will usually prety much stay the same
My personal steeping method is an ultrasonic cleaner, like a denture or jewelry cleaner. It's pricier, but a 20 minute go in one of these bad boys and my juice is always delicious
Oh... I ordered one of these thinking it would help clean my tanks. Tired of soaking/boiling/etc (I'm lazy!). I wonder if this one would be okay for the bottles or if it could melt them... surely not. Will have to try it with an empty!
I ordered this one... Amazon.com: Joy4Less Professional Grade Ultrasonic Cleaner 4820WPT with Heater and Digital Timer: Electronics
Hoosier - you're obviously right. It was late and I wasn't thinking. Duh! Excited to have a better way to clean the parts either way!
Just to echo most of what has been posted here.
Most made to order/ custom juice is shipped right after it is mixed. In most cases it needs "steeping". Off the shelf juices like DeKang typically don't. They have been mixed a while when you get them.
Good analogy is spaghetti. Always better the second day right? The spices have had more time to blend and it tastes better. Same with juices only the time frame is a little longer.
Most believe some breathing (cap off) time is required or at least helpful. Amount of time varies but I just take them off a couple of hours to start the oxidation. Some say 24 hours.
Shaking is pretty much a must for most flavors. Vigourously for a short period once or twice a day for the first few days can do it. Then let them sit. Time varies to taste but most juices are okay after a week. Tobs, coffees and some other may take longer.
Store in a cool dark place. Not cold as the refer will peserve the juice and slow the steeping.
A lot of juices hit their sweet spot about a month in but it is really to your taste. Not sure about the ultra sonic cleaners but they are building a strong following with some wise and experienced folks.
I am still a bit of an inexperienced newbie but I have studied at "Ms. EleanorR's" school of steeping

If I steep I usually just take the top off stick it in a dark place for about 48-72 hours.
I'd heard of the hot water method myself and will probably have to go that way since this order of juice (about 150mL) I'm waiting on is my first!
