Too much heat is bad but I couldn't see it really making a huge difference being in a truck for a couple days.. I could be very wrong though lol
I am certain that excessive heat ruins liquid. Do NOT leave bottles in an unattended car in the summer, especially in direct sunlight... but... anywhere with it will be over 70 degrees F for any extended period of time.
The weather conditions during transit almost certain effect what arrives in the mail... heat, light, air = the enemy.
What is an extended period of time? I get it after work but it gots hotter than you know what in Vegas in the summer. Probably 6 hours-ish in the mailbox.
What a good question that I have never given a second thought too. Since most of the juices are freshly made, I tend to believe it would be steep by the time it gets there. Good question though.
I would certainly consult the weather before you ship liquid... or have the USPS hold your vapemail for you (inside) so you can go pick it up. Anything over 30 minutes... no bueno.
The air handler in my house is set at 80 in the summer, that's now through probably the end of October. I'm in Florida where 80 degrees with ceiling fans, t-shirts, shorts and flip flops is cool, compared to outside, and doesn't break the bank. I steep in a stoneware casserole dish that's probably cooler. Juices in rotation are in a drawer. That will have to be cool enough.

Spring and Fall are the best time to order liquid by mail. In the winter the concern is that snow and inclement weather makes USPS 1st Class mail unpredictable (PRIORITY, ALWAYS!!). In the summer - liquid getting heated (and subsequently ruined) is a very real concern. If it were me, i would monitor the weather in Omaha and locally... order 24 hours before it's going to get cool here (since we generally ship same or next day, use guidance as best you can)... and... order 2-3-4 days before an anticipated cool front in your local area (for best results).
Until the next short run! Ramen noodles for a week, have to make an order! LOL
I would discourage refrigeration, it slows or stops the steeping process. Cool, but not cold!
Hmm guess ill have to stock up soon then
That juice is gonna get cooked being that long in transit during summer.
Hmmm. Wonder if I should mount a small box to the bottom of my mailbox to put dry ice in when I am expecting an order? Hmmmm. I think I have some spare wood and need some styrofoam and aluminum to line it with. Hmmm.
So if we live in hot states and work away from home, how are we going to be able to get our Short Run juices without them being ruined? I guess go to the usps website and it will have an option to hold at the PO by tracking number?
