Here is a thread from earlier today:

This should answer your question, but it really depends on which company you bought from!!!!
Good luck...

I just ran into this problem and posted last night, cause I could not figure out for the life of me why I went from 98% success to zero. Rewindicus responded really fast with this post from a couple years ago.

"Howdy folks,
It looks like summer is in full force this week, with Heat Advisories posted for a good portion of the country. I thought it might be a good idea to take a second and remind people that special considerations should be taken when ordering sensitive biological material during periods of especially high heat.
Spores will suffer thermal death if exposed to temperatures above 120F. Sporeworks highly recommends taking advantage of expedited shipping, express mail, or air services to minimize the possibility of high heat exposure during transit.
We find that utilizing services such as Priority Mail or Express Mail from the postal service will greatly reduce the potential for exposure. Both these services are available from our site by selecting the "Other Carriers" option during chekcout.
For those of you who prefer UPS, we offer Next Day Air, Second Day Air, and 3 Day Select options as expedited shipping. This will help minimize the time your package spends in over the road trucks during transit.
Keep in mind that Sporeworks guarantees all our material, even if it is rendered unstable from heat exposure. We wanted to alert folks to the available shipping methods available, as the old saying goes "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." So while we will send you replacements if your samples arrive unstable, it's worth considering these special circumstances during really hot spells and preventing the damage in the first place. "
--------------------------------------------------
BUT! they do say they guarantee all materials so maybe you should shoot them and e-mail and see about replacements?
So, your vendor may or may not still guarantee them. But the suggestion to do rush delivery does seem like it would help and is my next plan of action. And crossing my fingers, because I think this Texas summer is gonna toast any poor spores put in the back of a delivery truck.
