RE: Moving Vinyl Collection

"I've heard vinyl is stable below 140 degrees Fahrenheit"
Not the case..... I use a vinyl flattener, it may be true with some LPs, but some will go bad at much lower temperatures...... (I always start at 105 degrees when flattening, and work my way up..... I've trashed vinyl trying to flatten at 115 degrees.)
I've also had LPs ruined (badly warped) by delivery in 105 degree weather in Phoenix (I instructed the shipper to wait until October, but it was still too hot outside)...... Between May and October, I avoid ordering LPs online.
Between June and October, I would use a cooled vehicle, transporting vinyl to Arizona.
