Just to add to what Diann says, cause she knows her lilies! Lisa (BuggyCrazy) helped me out when I got a whole big order in February, instead of in April when it was supposed to be shipped. Lisa said the ideal temp to keep them in the fridge is 29, but anything above that will keep them pretty good, up to around 40. Don't go below 29. She also told me, because I was concerned about the frost free fridge drying out the bulbs, to pack them in cedar shavings, like you buy at the store for small animal bedding. But you probably would not need to do that, as you will only be storing them for a short time. I've been checking mine on a regular basis, and they're all good. One group just started to sprout. But it's just about time to plant, so they'll be fine.
