This thread is a little confusing though as it's quite common to ship in freezing/cold weather in winter, at least up here. Properly packed it shouldn't be an issue, it's much easier to warm up a properly prepared package with the appropriate heat packs than it is to cool one off in the extreme heat of summer.

Sounds like an unfortunate shipping error without proper heat packs and/or packaging, hopefully a tough lesson learned .

You'll notice Reptile Express ships "year round": Terms
They will ship all the way down to -25*c (incl wind chill). A friend just received a Monkey-tailed Skink shipped across Canada yesterday through -20c without a problem.
