I placed an order last week with Rick at ADS for a Gallon of 151, 205, Last Touch, APC+ and some pads. I looked at the online tracking today and it's in Hodgkins IL, and it's scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday. It's brutally cold here right now, here's hoping my order does arrive as a block of ice on Tuesday...

Re: Too cold...
I grew up in Vermont and that is something I would have to consider. These days I live in Florida (30 years) and it never crossed my mind. I hope every thing turns out all right.

Re: Too cold...
Well, it's pretty much a guess and I was itching to order 205. I didn't see this coming, I was out earlier today and between the wind and the cold, it's BRUTAL!Comment

Re: Too cold...
I just got a few products last week. They where really cold but surprisingly not frozen. Once I got a gallon of air freshener that was slush, seems to still be fine.
Hope you get it all okay!ScottComment

Re: Too cold...
You should be ok. I have received some products in the winter that seemed really cold when I got them but I just put them in the warmest room of the house for a few days and they worked out fine.'05 Arctic Blue Pearl Acura TSX

Re: Too cold...
I ordered a G110 and a 32 oz. jug of 205 and mine is sitting in Hodkins as well. I'm thinking with the size of the bottles and the way things are usually wrapped from ADS most things will be fine, at least that's what I keep telling myself.
I just didn't want to place another order in May or so knowing I probably won't need anything then. We'll see."Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week." Jay-ZComment

Re: Too cold...
Much as I dislike having to dispose of the styrofoam packing, it does make a pretty good insulation as well as cushioning the product.
One thing I try hard to avoid is just what has happened to you.
Having the shipment set on a truck over the week-end can cause some problems. I always felt that as long as it is moving and being transferred at each terminal that it was exposed to some warmer temperatures.
Like you said, nothing you can do about it now.
If it's any consolation, I don't usually have all that much luck trying to schedule my deliveries either.

Re: Too cold...
Yeah, we are experiencing the same frigid weather, too. I've got two 32oz bottles of M205, five gallons of Detailer Glass Cleaner, etc.
Hopefully, nothing goes bad...Chris

Re: Too cold...
What is this "cold" and "Ice" you speak of... I know not of such things.
The only reason some people get lost in thought... is because it is unfamiliar territory for them.

Re: Too cold...
I work for a major frieght company and we use insulated blankets on freezable items but our docks are not heated. Not sure what UPS or Fed-X uses.Being inside a cardboard box full of foam peanuts plus boxes being protected in the truck should do the trick.
Awoke this morning to a temp of 1 degree and a wind chill of -20. No heat in attached garage and had to thaw out water pipe that was exposed for a repair I did this fall and forgot about. Detailing products are safe in detached heated garage out back.Wife said I take better care of my detailing supplies then I do her.Live like you're not afraid to die.Don't be scared, just enjoy your ride.
