My Semax sat in the post office for a day :(

Yesterday morning, USPS tracking showed that my new Ceretropic Semax Nasal Spray™ had arrived at the post office (where I have a P.O. Box). By noon though, the status hadn't updated to Delivered. I called the post office and they said they still had to sort about 1200 packages. There were no further updates to the tracker by 5 p.m., when the post office closed, so I gave up.
But later that night, these weird "retroactive" updates started to roll in, culminating with an update I got this morning telling me that the package had been delivered yesterday morning!?
Anyway, I didn't get to pick up the package until 20 minutes ago, at which point the freezer bag had completely melted and the Semax was close to room temperature. It's in the fridge now. Should I expect it to have lost potency? Although I am feeling pretty awake and focused after a couple sprays....

Thanks very much for your reply, and thanks to everyone else who replied. I'm definitely enjoying the effects from Semax, and my fears about what happened during shipping are gone.
But you've raised another question here: do I even have to refrigerate the stuff!? My reason for not wanting to is pathetic I guess, but since I'm anonymous, I might as well admit it. I'm currently living with my parents, and I would prefer them not to know I'm taking nootropics. I once had a panic attack that was partly caused by sunifiram + caffeine, and this was my occasion to explain to them what nootropics are. So I have to conceal Semax inside another container in a seldom-used part of the fridge. Do I really have to keep doing that or can I just keep it in my room?
P.S. Why is the noun spelled "fridge" (with a D) while the verb is spelled "refrigerate!?" This is literally destroying America.

Until we run some long-term stability testing at different temperatures, I would recommend storing it in the fridge. It's probably stable at room temp. However, I am not comfortable saying for sure, until we have some hard data on it. We just need to get our in-house NMR/HPLC, so we can do the testing.
And it's fridge because M'urica!
