All of the online information that I've seen about
solder paste
indicates
that distributors will ship the stuff only on an overnight basis in
insulated containers. Apparently it degrades slowly at room

This is true...It dries out, as well as deteriorates chemically. The
containers are marked with expiration dates.
I keep mine sealed in zip-loc bags in the bottom drawer of the
refrigerator, which is not used for food...only solder paste,
batteries, and film for the SEM camera.
