My point about above 80 temps is that boxes sit in trucks and planes. In full sun the inside of those rise to over 100 easily. Above 90 it can get to 120 or more.

Oh I understand, that's where the Express come into play again though. They aint sitting anywhere with it, they are telling me at my PO at least, now a lot of the aircraft they have are now climate controlled, and most of the box vans they use are to a degree, many are open to the cap, so that helps some.

I've just seen many folks say that, but mine actually arrive better once it's over 80 here. And like I said, I always add heat packs even then. All those do is give them something warm to get on at night when they would otherwise get chilled. With all the holes in a chick box, it doesnt actually raise th box temps, just gives them a warm spot to sit on if needed. ( I put mine under the straw liner where they arent flying around in the box)
