Too cold for Thermos Trade?

[shinny]

Has anyone had any good experience with a thermos trade this time of year or is it too cold. I live in Michigan and it is pretty cold but not real cold right now. Does anyone have good experience with shipping this time of year (heat packs etc.), if so how? Thanks.

im getting ready to ship here on wed and i am doing the thermos trade. If you put in a heat pack it will be fine. If you think its to cold then do 2 heat packs. Im not sure its gonig to be a prob where i am at kinda weird in JAN its 70 degs. But good luck just make sure you put heat packs in there that will last. Just incase the mail is late or they mess it up.

Ok Littlebuck, here is a dumb question; Place the heat pack in the thermos or outside the thermos? Thanks.
I bought a cheap thermos at Kmart yesterday forlike $3. I'm getting ready for th future. Ha!

well i would say on the outside it might be to hot on the inside. But maybe someone else that has done alot of these will have there ideas. The inside might not hurt. But might get to hot.

Shuoldn't be a problem shipping in a thermos this time of year. I too will use heatpacks. I just use packing tape and tape them to the outside of the thermos after it's been sealed.
