Summer Heat and Vinyl

I just got my records I had ordered last week from juno. It's a humid 90 degree day. When I took the package inside from the mailman and cracked it open to check them out, I noticed they were sizzling hot. I haven't put them on the decks yet... I figured I would let them sit in the AC for a while. How hot does it need to be to render a record useless? How do you people combat heat problems? I had no control over this one, and if I end up losing $100 I'm gonna be pretty pissed. Thanks.

well
worst thing that could happen would be your record(s) get warped
grooves get damaged
lol
i don't know what iwould do

combat heat?
i just stick my records where theres not much heat
guess you can't really do anything to prevent mail orders from bein heated up
anyyyhoowww
i just ordered 6 records from juno
hope its not hot that day
snow works good though
i had like 15 records comin in and they were placed in snow lol
i only got home at 9pm (decemeber) and they were covered in snow
good thing juno packs them up good though, dikdn't get wet

of course they were covered in snow, we live in canada, eh.
make sure to lock the door to your igloo on your way out

If you keep your vinyl packed pretty tight together...they should survive.
