What are safe temperatures for shipping?

[Rich C]

I'll be shipping a lava lamp soon, first time ever.  Today is pretty cold but it will be getting warmer later today and staying warm for just a day or two.  I'm shipping it south so that should help.  I know lava fluid has ingredients in it that probably help act as an anti-freeze but what are generally accepted tolerable temperatures for lava lamps to endure?  How does the company ship these things around the country during the winter months?

I would say if it is REALLY cold and freezing all around where the lamp is going then mabie consider not sending it, I haven't had any of thies issues as the UK does not experience the extreme temperatures that you guys do. 

I would presume that shipping companies would ship them as they would normally do so the temperature would affect things if it were going to. 

TBH I think that it will be fine shipping a lamp now - there really shouldent be any issues.

We will have a few day window of warmer weather and it is going to Texas so it should be okay.  Shipping it tomorrow.

Cold front pushed through so I'm delaying a day.  Temps in the 60s with no overnight freeze tomorrow so a one day delay seems prudent.
