I had here indeed already seen the reviews that these things are for some time but these reviews were from last year. So you should ship later but now. Far expiry date 04/2016 not even 3 years ago by the usual 5 years. In any hardware store, there are more recent and Amazon is not very insightful. You need the parts but do not throw away at least mention that they are no longer fresh as a daisy! In discounters and hardware store can not see the date when online merchants unfortunately. Free return and goes until 40 items value and then it gets sold the next.
