Received a packaged of 7 tubs of Allmax Hvol yesterday, but Canada Post left the wrong key for the parcel compartment, no idea how long it will take to sort things out, hopefully only a few days. Is it ok to leave it outside below 0C for a prolonged period of time? I know most label says to keep it at room temp.

They’ll be fine - plenty of people keep pre-workouts in the freezer to keep them fresh if they’re not going to use them for a while

No worries (a fellow Canadian who has received frozen supps for over 30 years).

Like others have said, many keep in the freezer anyways to preserve it. So i don't see any issues with this.

I got a tub of magnum nutraceutical Volume powder version, from Canada and it mention it on the tub to keep in the freezer to avoid clumping of the product.

Avoid heat and moisture. Cold will probably extend the life of most supplements.

Yep that's why freezer works cause it's cold and low moisture.

That sucks. Is it a multi-unit building where maybe they gave the key you need to another person? If so, might be faster to leave a note and exchange keys with the neighbor than to wait on the postal service.

Over here in Canada, the postal service doesnt do home delivery anymore, so everybody is assigned to a community box. When there is a parcel, they leave us a key to open a bigger compartment where the parcel is left off. For some reason, my delivery guy is too incompetent to leave the right key... twice in two weeks. Cant do much about it, left a note on my box. Feels...

It's pretty bad here too. Thankfully I work from home, so I can hear when packages are dropped off, but there is a lot of package theft with the increase in online purchases. Thieves are bold too. They walk right up and grab packages off porches in the middle of the day. A lot of people have security cameras now on their front doors, but the police can only do so much.

That bad uh? I'm glad we live in a relatively safe area, never got a package stolen, most of the time I leave my doors unlocked, and my backyard door is always opened. I'd pay for signature requirement if I were you guys though.

Seattle. Amazon plus a huge homeless drug problem means a lot of boxes go missing, but originally from Chicago and I'll take this over constant threat of being shot.
