I got my order of 100 strips orders 10/30/14 and the date of expiration is September 2015. These certainly will be gone before then...Was happy with transaction and will repeat as needed... The price certainly was cheaper than I can get them locally from pharmacy...

The expiration date appears just above and to the right of the tab which opens the box. It's on the right side of the box, not on the top. It is cut into the white cardboard on the side of the box -- not printed. You can feel it and see it in the location I've just given; it shows up ok under bright light. I just received a new order of these strips today, and their expiration date was for February 10, 2015. They expire in a year or so when purchased through Amazon.

There is not a specific expiration date, but I have found that the strips expire withing 1-2 months of ordering them.

You will find that the expiration date changes depending on who you are buying from and can change several times each day as each seller's inventory runs out quickly. I have noticed that these strips are being offered by many different Amazon sellers - they somehow get a great discount and pass it on to us. But they have limited quantity in stock, and a huge site like Amazon sells out of stuff like this very fast. What has worked for me is to click on the "12 new from XX dollars" link. Then in the next screen you should ideally choose a retailer that has listed what expiration date you will get from them - not all the retailers give the dates they have available - and sometimes none of them give a date at all. If you see one with a date and you like the date that is listed, then place it in your cart and complete your order quickly to make sure you stand the best chance of getting it while it still is available. Think of this process as being a lot like a fast paced auction!

expiration date is one year, stored in a cool dry place ,strips could last even longer. If used correctly. expiration date shouldn't be a factor. I like the strips as a matter of fact i like this monitoring system.

I cannot tell you what would be the expiration date of items bought today. I can tell you that on my last order from the time I received boxes of 100 strips until the expiration date was about 8-9 months.

It depends on the lot number of the seller. I've been buying from the Amazon suppliers for several years not and have never had an expiration problem. I always check the expiration date when I receive an order. I buy 90-100 strips at a time and I only test once a day, M-F, and occassionally on weekends. I've never went past the expiration on the orders I've received.

The strips I buy have an expiration date of at least 14 months in the future. But take note that some sellers have fresher merchandise than others.

The Expiration date is imprinted on the box by the manufacturer so the only way to know is to see the box itself. See answers from William B and Winnie Reed. The ones I ordered were for my husband and he is currently having to test several times a day so we went thru the strips quickly and the exp date was not an issue. However, if you don't have to test often it might be better to either 1) try contacting seller for dates or 2) purchase from the drug store even though it may cost more.

The strips I recently ordered has expiration date of 6/40/15. The expiration date is located on top of the box when you receive your shipment.

I can only tell you that I have ordered these test strips many times from several different Amazon vendors and they usually have 3-5 months remaining before the expiration date. I have never received any with less than 3 months before expiration. Hope this helps.

Hi Suresh,The machine comes up with 10 strips as free. The expiry date is mostly kept late. By the time of expiry you will use all these strips given free with the machine. I use to check once a week or 2 weeks but still it got over before the exipry date.Thanks,Abhishek

I'm at work and I don't remember but it seems like it was some time in 2015 but I know it was more than enough time to use them. Have never had a problem with expiration dates when I buy from here and the price is more than half as much as any place locally.
