Selena does not supply temperature-controlled vehicles, active refrigeration or validated cold-chain packaging, and does not monitor or guarantee temperature during transit. Temperature-sensitive items travel only in suitable sealed packaging supplied by the sender, with written handling instructions, and we transport them as agreed time-critical deliveries.
