Very good flour

Pros: great wheat flour
Cons: damaged upon arrival/but did get new replacements
"I make wheat bread twice a week with this flour. I could not be any more happier with the actual flour. Upon arrival of our shipment we did have some problems with leaky mylars and damaged lids. The gamma lids seem a little cheaper than another brand of lids I use and most likely the weight of the stacking of the buckets in the factory is probably what damaged them. Shelf Reliance has always given me 100% customer service. They sent me replacement lids for just the buckets that had damaged lids and replaced the entire bucket for the ones that had leaky mylars. The shelf life of wheat flour is 5 years. You will not get longer life of wheat flour unless you buy grains and grind yourself. Flour itself just doesn't have that long of a shelf life. Wheat flour will last longer than white. I will continue to purchase this flour for my every day use and stock. Even though I had received some damaged I still give this 5 starts as Shelf Reliance stood behind customer service and sent me replacements."

Arrived Damaged

"Pail delivered with gamma lid off and contents exposed although mylar appeared intact. Attempted to put gamma lid on, but it appeared to be defective, the ring would not separate from rest of lid.
Poor quality control, returned to Costco."

What's the shelf life

Model Number: Item 643433
"I bought this whole wheat flour and received it today. The label on the flour pail says "Shelf life 5 years unopened". However, this advertisement in COSTCO online says 20 years shelf life. Anyone know what the right shelf life is?"
