Will the product be affected if shipped in the freezing winter? Anybody get theirs?

I doubt it. Just got mine today from Kentucky and it's been freezing over there. It's wrapped good.

Mine didn't arrive in cold packs. I doubt this has changed unless it states so expressly in the description.

What do you mean? It would be delivered like any other product. Since I don't know where you live, I can't answer specfically. If you're worried about it freezing, assuming it won't sit on your porch all day, it would be fine. Then again, even if it did freeze solid you could just thaw it out.

I received mine on no ice. But with it being in the 20's out I didn't think it would matter since it was a 2 day shipment.

The item can withstand mild temperatures for a few days, when it is sealed. We only ship these out on Mondays and Tuesdays so that the items do not sit over the weekend. We only ship them USPS Priority or UPS Ground. Especially during this time of year, we can safely transport this product by mail and UPS. During the summer, we use ice packs (with insulation) if the package will arrive in 2 days (either if it is sent by UPS 2nd Day Air or close enough to Chicago). If it will not arrive in 2 days, we do not ship it.

I placed my order on Apr 23rd 2013, and I'm still awaiting its arrival. When I ordered it, was 80 degrees out. Now it's over 100 degrees. Did my order get lost somewhere? It sure did not ship within one day. It's been over a month now. Luckily, I have a huge box of your grommets awaiting your shade fabric to go with my sunburn.

I have not used this product yet since the weather here has not been cold enough. I will let you know when I use it how well it does work. I know that does not help you now if you are planning on buying one right-a-way.

I did not receive a cold pack with mine (it arrived in the winter so it was plenty cold from that). If you put it in the fridge upon receiving, the integrity of the product shouldn't be compromised.

Not a problem for me. Was your product damaged in shipping? Mine is just perfect.

This item is not cold shipped. As the item always is kept in climate controlled facilities with us and the shipping carriers. In the amount of time it takes to deliver, it will not affect the product.

I know the retailer ships the product to our company in a cold pack and I ship it to Amazon in a cold pack. I am not sure if Amazon also ships it in a cold pack. I have emailed them and asked them. I am awaiting their response and will let you know what they say.

As long as you retrieve them from your mailbox that day they should be fine.I had some delivered in the dead of winter and they froze- but then they unfroze and were fine. ;)

No bc if it is cold they will put a heat pack in the box so they stay warm. However if shipping takes too long they will die, I had 100 dead. But when I sent them a picture of the dead ones they sent me a new shipment free.

Mine doesn't seem to be affected by freezing temps/frozen water in it (Michigan). I imagine it will eventually get more brittle with exposure to sun, snow, etc., and of course it will get damaged if you try to chip the ice out & miss the ice though.

I have just installed the box and haven't been in winter weather with it yet. I am planning to install a sheet metal cover over it and will be o.k. if I keep it dry.
