Online items that can freeze?
Like inks, glue etc.
I know my LSS is ordering but they are getting boxes of stuff and comes via courier so I think exposure is different.
But me ordering an ink pad online and getting it sent thru mail I just wonder if that will damage the ink?

I ordered some ink pads and a Tombow fine glue pen and they were fine. Just let them warm up before using them.

I think ink pads would be fine. Liquid glue can be ruined by freezing. Also liquid paints.

I've never had an issue, and in fact never even thought about it until I noticed a message on the website of my LSS saying that they won't ship glue in cold weather months! Who knew!

That's why I like that we get our mail at the post office, it's in a climate controlled building. I've thought of that when ordering things and it's -20C or -40C liquids would freeze in no time in an outdoor mailbox. Somethings are forever changed by freezing.

I'm in PA. If I have things I'm worried about freezing, I have them delivered to my work address. Several years ago, I had ordered several bottles of Glimmer Mist. When the package arrived via UPS, delivered right to our building from the vehicle, they were frozen solid. Luckily, they were fine once they thawed out.
Just because the final destination is heated (or air-conditioned), doesn't mean that they are kept at moderate temps during transit.

Nah. Most freight in this country goes via ground means, and most train cars and tractor trailers aren't climate controlled. And even if you put stuff on an airplane, the cargo hold's not insulated either, and it's cold at cruising altitude. If it's gonna get messed up because of temperature, it's gonna be long before I even order it.

True, but the mail trucks and cross-country couriers aren’t climate-controlled. |

I live in the northern part of Michigan and did have a liquid paint (similar to Nuvo drops and liquid pearls) get ruined by the cold once. But only once.

Just think of the crafty stuff coming over from China in containers. No climate control there!

Freezing isn’t an issue here and we don’t get really hot temps, but goodness knows what happens to products en route to New Zealand.

I was worried some stickers would get wet waiting inside the mailbox, because the mailperson doesnt push stuff in far enough. We get lots of wet mail.
