Summer heat and the parcel
July afternoons in South Carolina average 91 °F, by NOAA’s 1991–2020 statewide averages, the 8th hottest of the 51. In the South Atlantic, Florida (92 °F) runs hotter. A closed delivery van or a sunlit mailbox runs hotter still. Transit at ambient temperature is within specification for lyophilized material; the hours after delivery are what to control, so have the parcel taken in and the vials frozen at −4 °F the same day.
Winter cold and condensation
January nights average 34 °F, the 9th mildest of the 51. West Virginia (23 °F), Maryland (25 °F), Virginia (26 °F), Delaware (27 °F), Washington, DC (30 °F) and North Carolina (30 °F) are colder. A vial that arrives cold should still reach room temperature before the vacuum is broken, so moisture from the room does not condense on the powder.
The full guidance is on the storage and handling page.
