Question 1

Is the first question really intending to state that you have to use these within one week of buying them?

Accepted Answer

I ordered them for a work party. The party was rescheduled for a month after the intended date. (I prob bought about ten days before I had first planned to use them). When we had the party and activated the sticks for the centerpieces (stuck in mason jars) they were very dim (as I reviewed). Maybe they really do mean to use within one week although I've never heard of that with other brands.

Question 2

So is the shelf life a week or 6 months because in the description it says long strorage time: long shelf life for bulk storage for up to 6 months?

Accepted Answer

I purchased these a year ago. At the time, all of the ones I used light brightly and most (if not all) lasted quite some time. Some colors were still dimly lit after 24 hours. 
It's been a year and I rediscovered my container of these after cleaning out the garage. I was very surprised to find that around half of them simply to not light at all. Not a hint of glow even in a dark room. Of the other half, most of them light brightly and last up to 24 hours, the remaining 10% or so are somewhat dimmer than previously. As far as I can tell, it doesn't seem specific to any particular colors. Perhaps there is a very slow leak or something in some of the tubs that results in a dud after a year or so? I didn't test mid way through the year, so I can't speak for exactly how long it took for some of these to stop working.

Question 3

Where is this item made?

Accepted Answer

China

Question 4

My wedding is in 18 days. If purchased now and kept stored, will they last?

Accepted Answer

Of course. It’s not like these were made yesterday. They’re probably months old. You may have a few dead ones anyway- it’s just the nature of glow sticks. I bought some last year and my kids are still pulling them out of the box and playing with them.
