Inconsistent expiry dates

White chocolate syrup has anexpiry date till 2017-08-02, whereas other syrups have till 2018-01-23 & 2018-02-20. Disappointing receiving a product with too obvious cycling stock item. Who's gonna go over all the work just for replacing one out of three?

The product was fine but had expiration stickers for January 2013. Usually these things are good for many months. Not pleased.

Have used this for several years.

 there has been some inconsistency in quality of product (smell, fullness of cans) for different orders

I ordered a dozen of these boxes early May of 2012. Cookies were individually packaged and packed box consistently of 12, but I still received a number of stale cookies. The "best by" date for all the cookies are July 8 2012. These leaves me with only two months left. I would expect at least a few more than two months on these.

The cookies are tasty, but as good as Panda Express's. I would buy again, but they really need to send fresher cookies.

5-31-12 update, ranked down from 4-> 2 stars. I'm getting a lot more stale and crashed cookies.

This sauce is delicious and useful, but my recent order of it turned out to have a "best by" date that was unreasonably close the current date as to make it useless. I will have less than a month to use a bottle of it before it expires, and that is not realistic. A brick and mortar store I recently visited had this product with a shelf date of over a year. Who wants to buy nearly expired sriracha sauce?

This product was sent without an expiration date, which is of the essence
particularly for nutritional supplements. Please take measures to correct this.
Thank you.

I've ordered this twice now through Amazon Subscribe and Save. The coffee is good, the price is great (especially as an Amazon Mom subscriber) but the dates were a little annoying. Even though I got each bag in a different monthly shipment, they both had the same manufacturing and expiration dates. Both tasted fine, and if I were looking for fancy specialty coffee I probably wouldn't order through Amazon anyway, but it was still annoying. All I can hope is that the warehouse is a good storage place.

The problem I have with my purchase is that the toothpaste arrived today July 18, 2016, but I see that it expires in August. I bought two packs of five tubes of toothpaste. One is tagged as expiring in August 2016 and the other is tagged as expiring in September 2016.  So, I guess if I'm supposed to get my moneys worth, I need to brush my teeth a whole hell of a lot in the next two months. It's disappointing that they didn't spell out this catch. I feel like I've been tricked.

I usually buy my dates from this company and I never had a problem with my purchase. But my last purchase was totally different. I received a bag of dried out dates.

Perfect and made a great birthday present for my wife, expiration date was not until. The 2nd package of the same order and same product, had a fast approaching expiration date, and the Marzipan was hard and stale.

I have purchased this product from other retailers and have always been satisfied.  As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and this product did not deliver the same results as before and the consistency of the product was different too.  It seems that the one I received was old or expired.

I have ordered this twice and on both occasions there was one bag that didn't taste as fresh and on this one bag (both times) when I ran my thumb over the best before date the ink easily smudged as though the date may have been tampered with.  It might be just my imagination, but this happen twice in a row on two separate shipments.  The other 19 bags were still fresh and the sell by date was in tact and still a month and a half within the expiration date.  I'd love to know if it's just me who's experiencing this. The delivery came well within the time frame.

I am a big fan of the product in general. Although when I got it in the mail I noticed that the expiration date on the bottom is a month from now. I am not happy with the fact that someone would sell me something that goes bad right away. And I am not a fan of using something on my face that might be spoiled or less effective.

*****UPDATE*****

Today is February 5, 2015 and I just received another box of these from Amazon. The expiration date is 11/2017. Such a disappointment. I paid almost $100 for them too...not even a discount for the bad date. I only ordered them for the Prime shipping. I am going to purchase from the seller "Cyalume Technologies" from now on. It takes a week or so for them to arrive but the date is usually within a couple of months from the order date. For example, the last box I got from Cyalume Technologies had an expiration date of 12/2019 (I ordered them in January, so only a month old).

Cyalume makes the best chemiluminescent light sticks I have found to date; however, the expiration dates vary within a year each time I order them. Several months ago I was getting expiration dates of 3/18. The last several boxes I've ordered have been more expensive and expire either 10/17 or 11/17...that's almost a year after manufacture! I even ordered a box of 500 with expiry of 5/17. When I pay almost $500 for a box of light sticks I expect them to be fresh...not over a year old.

This has been an ongoing issue with almost all the colors except red and green...those are almost always at least 2/18. Still, that being said, they are the brightest and last the longest. Some of them still glow hours after the stated time on the package. White, yellow, and green are the brightest. Orange, blue, and red are more of an illuminating glow but orange and blue can still light it up. Red I use as more of a tracking tool. You can also keep red, green, white, and yellow on a boat as spare lights in case of an electrical problem. They easily light up as well as the boat lights. ;)

I love this product and highly recommend it; however, this is the second bottle I've received with an expiration date just a few months away instead of one year.  The product advertises it can be used up to 360 days - which is true for my pet - but not if the product expires way before that date.  If the shippers would be aware of the expiration date prior to shipping and I received the product with a one-year expiration, I would give it a five.  Be sure and check the expiration date when you receive a jar.

We received on 9/20/2015 and both cases EXPIRED on 10/20/2015. But I'd give 5 stars if it can have more than 6 months left.

Second Order.  The cookies are great.  The first order the exp. date was 6 months out.  This time on 2.5 months.  I probably won't order this quantity again because of close expiration.
