    so, I just got into trading last month, and it's been unusually cool in the northeast this year. However, temps are starting to pick up, so I was wondering if anyone stops trading during the summer, or if 2-3 days of ground shipping is of little concern in trucks / warehouses.

    First, always ship on Mondays. Keep that box out of a truck/warehouse where it might bake all weekend.

    Second, check temps along the route. Less than 90s I've had zero problem with.

    Third, if in doubt, hold off or talk to your trading partner.

    Just like in winter, most temperatures are going to be just fine for shipping, but if things start heading towards extremes, hold off. One of my only problems was unwittingly sending a box into 110 degree desert heat - lesson learned the hard way.
