^ who did you order from?
I have 2 jugs coming my way from ADS...
Proper Auto Care in Florida because it would be 2 days faster in shipping than ADS, meaning less time in the cold.
I ordered it on a day of the week where it would ship out and arrive to me during the same week without having to sit outside over a weekend at a UPS facility possibly freezing.
The next day they informed me that they sold out 2 orders ahead of mine so they could hold my order until new product arrived back in stock. Unfortunately the day of the week that it came back in stock and shipped out meant that it would sit out over the weekend at the UPS facility.
I let the ice chunks in my spray wax thaw out overnight and then I shook it up real good and poured it into a spray bottle and everything appears to be perfectly fine.
I own a silver vehicle and a black vehicle owns me. The black one demands attention, washing, detailing, waxing and an occasional dinner out at a nice restaurant. The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.
Yep. I tested it on a small part of my truck just to make sure it worked alright. It's too cold outside and the truck needs washed before I can use it on the whole truck.
It all depends on how quickly it gets from a warehouse to your house. If you buy from MeguiarsDirect.com it will ship from Connecticut so transit time shouldn't be all that long. But if it's seriously cold and the delivery company leaves it outside overnight that could be enough to do it in. Do you have a pro products retailer near you that might be able to get in for you locally?
Unless pro products retailers have their own private heated trucks, anything they have in stock is subject to the same delivery temperatures as direct-to-customer shipments.
Unless the retailer ordered in warmer weather, asking a local retailer to get it for you just means you'll never know if it arrived to the store frozen - something you're aware of when UPS asks you to sign for a block of ice at home. You'll just start a thread here about what's wrong with the product.

If you walk into a retail outlet you can see the product before you get it home and determine if it's damaged or not. And it may very well be that a retailer has an inventory that is a few months old and was therefore delivered before freezing temps set in.
It's an option that takes the gamble out of home delivery during a deep freeze, nothing more, nothing less.

Tell me how to determine a sealed bottle of 80, 21, 26 or anything else was damaged by freezing unless I buy it, take it home and remove the seal?
(In the post I responded to you wrote, "Do you have a pro products retailer near you that might be able to get in for you locally?" Doesn't that mean order it for you???)

Shake it thoroughly - if it sounds watery (and that is a noticeably different sound than "normal") then it's most likely gone bad.
By your reasoning, though, it sounds like any time anyone buys anything they're just taking their chances, whether they walk into a store or order during a deep freeze for home delivery. A major retailer could have a similar issue - it has happened before. So what is ANY buyer to do then???

Can you buy X-Press Spray Wax locally? I've seen it on various online vendors but shipping is almost 50% of the gallon size costs.
