Product storage - inside the house or in the garage?

I keep all my stuff in the garage. I have never had any problems even through Indiana winters. Some garages have pretty bad insulation so it's up to you and why you feel most comfortable with!!
 
I keep mine in the garage. Its not heated but I dont think it drops below upper 40's in the garage even when its in the teens outside. I worry a little more about the summer heat because outside we have temps that occasionally can top 100
 
The majority of mine are indoors. A few years ago, I ruined 2-3 bottles of polish that I left in my at-the-time uninsulated garage. The products froze and separated. No amount of shaking made any difference so I tossed them.
 
I keep most of my stuff in the house. I have some non-boutique items that I keep in the garage,and also my towels and APC.

I will be out of room in my designated spot in the house after these last two orders.
 
The weather here is unpredictable so I have to keep stuff inside. I have a useless storage area under my stairs in the basement that is finally earning its keep.
 
I keep all my stuff in the laundry room. Seems to work! I keep all polishing related stuff (DA, pads, etc.) in a plastic tub which makes it easy to tote to the car when doing that sort of work.

Same here, never had an issue.
 
I store mine in my basement and out of my shop in the winter. I've read different opinions on low temps and products, but I figure why take a chance. I have alot of money tied up in products, so I bring them inside in the winter.
 
Everything but wax & coatings in the garage. Instead of trying to drag like a zillion bottles in when it gets cold, I just keep a small space heater running all winter in the garage just to keep all my detailing stuff nice & cozy. It probably costs me a fortune to keep it running, but honestly I don't care - don't want my Rupes or Master Blaster catching cold, or my CR Spotless freezing. I don't keep the wax in the garage because there are temperature fluctuations in there from season to season and when I open the door. Sealants are synthetic and last forever - so I don't care.
 
Besides products what about equipment? It stays about 50 without the heat on in my garage. Lowest I have seen in 45 so far. With the heat on its about 60-65 (pipes run through)
 
Interesting thought, Ive been stocking up during the holiday sales and UPS has been delivering very cold products and leaving them on my front porch when its been 35 degrees outside and they sit their until I get home. I certainly hope they are cold stable.

It would be nice if AG listed products that might not be cold stable, and have a spring or fall sale. If is delivered cold to Texas, whats it like where it gets really cold. Does anyone get delivered frozen products?

I don't order even Ice packed seafood for delivery in Texas during the summer,even with a 10am delivery Ive had too much end up bad, even in insulated boxes with large ice packs.
 
Unfortunately I've left a few bottles in my trunk and they froze up into slushie consistency. Now the house holds 90% of bottled product along with clay. Clay is a PITA when it's frozen
 
I just brought all my polishes and waxes in for the winter. They stay in the laundry room now
