40 gal breeder done cycling (ammonia 0, nitrite 0 nitrate 5 phosphate 0.08).

Want to add phyto & pods. Problem is that I live alone, and work sometimes goes to 930pm. Weather here in 30s. If I order phyto & pods, is it ok if they sit outside until I get home?
 
Any local fish stores or clubs around that you buy from? I'd try that route or wait until it gets a little warmer before you purchase online.

If you can you can always order them to your work place. Most of the time its okay if they are refrigerated. You just do not want them to freeze!
