It was a wonderful date! The biggest concern I had when ordering these was whether they would be good after the expiration date

5/5

They arrived in early May, with a manufacture date of April (the same year), so they were only a month old when they arrived! Needless to say, I'm going to get 41 of the 42 months they're valid. I'm really happy right now.

There are only two years left until the expiration date

3/5

Flares have a 42-month expiration date on them. When I got them, they were already 18 months old. br>Rather than three and a half years, they are now only good for two. I feel as if I've been duped.

The expiration date is quite long, but the delivery is fairly quick

5/5

The freshness date is, of course, a concern when ordering these little gems. I placed an order in early July 2020 and received flares in June 2020, with a November 2020 expiration date. 2023 That's as good as it gets. It took about a week for the package to arrive.

Not Expired, but delivered as described

5/5

These flares were manufactured recently and arrived exactly as described. The seller is getting them fresh because they have a long time before they expire. br>br>Excellent value for money compared to marine stores! After a few years, I'll return!.

It satisfies the requirements of the Coast Guard

5/5

For something that needs to be replaced every two years, it's a little pricey.

On the product, there are some excellent dates! April 7th was the date of the order

5/5

the 17th of April, 2020 March 2020 is the Mfg date on the product. For a product where the date is crucial, it doesn't get much better than that. Thanks!.

This bag would be ideal for hunting, fishing, or trapping

5/5

My brother is going to keep the flares in his bag, so I got them for him. Especially since we never know when we'll need them. I'm thinking about getting some for my bag, too.
