Judy, USMC Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Do you think temps in the high 90's will affect the oils?Ordered some 1 pounders. It shipped from the midwest on Monday and due to be delivered Thursday. Today (Wednesday) it topped out over 100 and I'm afraid it will get extremely hot in the big Dark Brown truck. Even more afraid since I'm one of the last stops on the route. So I went to the UPS center here and asked that they intercept it for Will Call which is in the air conditioned part of the building.Is this a wise move - or am I making 2 trips to UPS for nothing?

Scented Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 They should be fine as long as they don't sit out for days and days in the bright sunlight. Things have arrived here without problems and it's hot all over KWIM? I don't notice any damage to what comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Judy, I am concerned about the same thing. I have an order coming from Peak due Thursday. Big brown has had it for the hottest days of the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I don't think the heat will effect it as long as it's out of the light (in box should be fine.) Think about it your adding it to 170+ degree wax and it doesn't effect it. I should have said for a short period of time, like 3-4 days!

NewOrleansLady Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I have some FO I got over 6 years ago that I obviously need to get rid of (since I haven't used them up in this length of time they obviously aren't good sellers) but they are still in good order. My scents are kept in my warehouse which is a metal building. Our heat index has been around 115° last week. But it's true what was previously said, if you pour it into 175° and up this heat wave is nothing. The only problem I do have is when suppliers use those cheap bottles and they do the "sucky" thing and sometimes the plastic splits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I totally can relate to the bottles cracking. I have some that are only 8 months old and did exactly that...sucked in and cracked! Obviously I'm not buying from that supplier anymore. I ended up throwing the oil away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jami Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I keep a supply of PET bottles here and transfer my FO's to those bottles from certain suppliers. If I didn't like the scents so much, I wouldn't bother lol It is just an option for those who don't like the bottles they come in but love the scents.:tiptoe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 That is a good idea Jami. I think I'm also going to start saving the amber glass bottles for just such thing. They can be washed out and don't retain the smell like the plastic ones do, so I'll be ok reusing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
