Order melted - insulated shipping too expensive
Ordered Low Sugar Detour Whey bars, chocolate coated. They arrived melted. Contacted the company and got a long email about their posted shipping policy, temperature, etc. They said they could ship in an insulated box next time for an extra $10. Great idea, but that totals $5 more than I can buy it at the store down the street. Customer service a bit thick, as is their shipping dept, but products are good. Having said that; it's off to the store for more.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the melted bars. When orders are placed for meltable products, we post a notice at checkout warning of the possibility of melting. Since we ship worldwide, we allow our customers to make their own judgment as to whether the weather in their area could cause melting. Usually we recommend placing the product in the refrigerator or freezer when received to reconstitute the coating. We definitely do not want our customers to receive melted products, but unfortunately temperatures can be high inside of courier trucks and cold packs don't last long enough in the heat to prevent bars from melting. We don't offer any option to ship in an insulated box, so we usually recommend customers stock up during cooler months or select expedited shipping to minimize the amount of time the products spend in the heat. We will reach out to you directly so we can find an acceptable resolution to this issue.
