Shipping Live bacteria

[baseballfanatic2]

I am thinking about buy live bacteria (dr tims one and only). Does anyone know if the bacteria gets bad if its shipped? Normally they come in just a box without styrofoam or anything. Can the bacteria go bad if overheated when shipped?

Bacteria can survive a wide range of situations, temperature being one of them
People ship me bacteria all the time and have never seen a total loss
