when does the test strips expire
460815
I am a buyer not a seller but I will comment. Most sellers put the expiration date in the description and it is very helpful when they do. I recently took a chance and bought some on ebay because the price was good and the gamble worked. They out date a year from now. However , it is a big gamble. When rating sellers, all buyers should make a point of this.

Six months after purchase. But check the date on the side of the container.

Usually at least 1 year from date of order. I usually order 100 at a time and reorder when I start the 2nd vial of strips

to provide a data point: the strips I ordered 3/6/2014 say "use by 10/31/2014" on the vial of strips

Testing strips can go bad because there is an enzyme in them that can dry up. This happened to me with BD strips that were expired over 3 years. Like a lot of things they probably last a lot longer than the package says, is my guess. The meter exp date may be more for the batteries in them,

We have 12+ months of expiration on test strips. Kits (meters) do not expire.

I don't know; however, all the strips I ordered on Amazon had far out expiration dates, so it wasn't a problem.

Mine expire in May of 2015. I have used strips that were 5 years out of date but that were stored in warm and dry conditions. Their performance matched new strips that I also had on hand. Keep your strips warm and dry.

Whenever I have ordered these strips from Amazon, they have had at least 1-1/2 years expiration from the time I got them. Hope it helps

The current ones I have expire June 2015. I have used test strips up to a year after expiring and they still seem to work well.

The True TRACK test strips only work with a true Track meter. They have a code you must use. They do have an expiration date, but never have had to let any expire.

The expiration date is printed on the box the strips come in, but they are usually good for 12-18 months. I have discovered however that the don't really expire as long as they are not opened. I have used strips that were over 2 years old and still got accurate results from them.

The date on the box is when the freshness and efficacy of the test strips can no longer be guaranteed. Just like medications have an expiration date. It is a different date for each lot number.

The meter doesn't but the test strips for all meters have expire dates that will be displaed on the bottle

These were ordered on 1-20-2014. I ordered 8 boxes of 100- - -or 16 boxes of 50......We use 2 to 4 test strips a day. They arrived on 1-28-2014. Each box had the expiration date of 04 of 2015. So,, I say yes, they are far enough away so we can use the strips. We could not get these strips from the medical equipment store, where we used to get them. Hope you find this helpful.

It depends on when you order them. All of our test strips are 6 months to a year on expiration. Not all test strips are going to have one set expiration date. As I sad it depends on when you order. I hope this helps. Lisa - BargainOTC

If test strips are not exposed to extreme temperatures (greater than 100F. or 38 C.) they should be good for long after the expiration date. I have used strips several years out of date with no problems, but remember accuracy even with brand new strips is +/- 20%!
