No batch numbers on top of cases?

5 replies6 peopleApr 15, 2026☆ Follow
Summary

Is it normal for kits to arrive without batch numbers and how do you verify them against current postings?

Multiple users report that most orders lack batch numbers or any labels, showing only product codes instead. Without batch details there is no reliable way to confirm a match to COAs, though a manufacture date can offer partial help and cap color is a weaker fallback. Many either pay for independent testing or simply proceed anyway.

Hi, new here. From the arrival photos others share, quite a few kits seem to show up without batch numbers or any label at all. Is that typical? How would you check whether your batch lines up with the latest on their postings?

Out of roughly twenty orders only two arrived with batch numbers; the rest had nothing except the product code such as mt 1 10.

Two of my eight kits have been that way so far.

None of the kits I've received ever came with numbers on them.

You really don't know. Without a batch number the closest option is a manufacture date that might help a bit with matching the COA. Lacking either, cap color is the only clue but it is fallible, or you rely on testing from other customer COAs or your own.

This happens often. Most have no clue at all. Money has to be set aside for checks. Otherwise they just go ahead anyway like everyone else.
