Hi All,
Just wandering what the expected minimum shelf life of a powdered product should have remaining when purchased from a merchant. I ask as on December 22nd I ordered some Thermaline plasterboard and Gyprock adhesive (2bags) for a job at home that I would be doing in the new year. As the VAT was about to rise as of jan 3rd I made my purchase early to save on this. Having come to do the job now, I've noticed that the Plasterboard adhesive was out of date on the 5th March 2011 meaning it was only in date for 10 weeks when it was delivered to me by Jewsons. Have rang them today and they basically said 'tough sh!t!'
What are your thoughts guys? Should I have expected more from them?
