- cold_pack_carla — genuine question update from 14 months ago: replaced the fridge, temperature is stable, no more anxiety, we shall see 16:23
- cold_pack_carla — the practical risk in winter shipping is freezing, and in summer it is heat. plan for the season you are in, your mileage will differ 16:31
- cold_pack_carla — i left it out overnight by accident, bin it or use it 16:32
- cold_pack_carla — for flying, hand luggage every time. the hold is not temperature controlled the way people assume 17:09
- cold_pack_carla — hotel minibars are frequently not cold enough. i take a thermometer, which is ridiculous and also correct 17:12
do you log the fridge temperature or is that too far

i would bin it
how cold is too cold, can it actually freeze in a normal fridge
for flying, hand luggage every time. the hold is not temperature controlled the way people assume
light exposure matters much less than temperature for these. i still keep them in the carton
hotel minibars are frequently not cold enough. i take a thermometer, which is ridiculous and also correct
do i need to worry about light exposure or is that overthinking
what temperature does a domestic fridge door actually swing to
unopened and in-use in the same place is fine. just keep the in-use one where you can reach it
if you are worried after a bad transit, test it. that is what the testing channels are for
a cooler with two gel packs held under eight degrees for eleven hours on a drive
