I bought a similar item (1,000 generic allergy pills) from Amazon in 2012. They were all expired by a few months when it arrived. I still have about 500 pills left and still use them, though.
I thought about returning them, but then I considered that someday another kindred spirit might come along and be interested in 1,000 generic allergy pills and I could share a funny story.

"Major" brand I trust more, but I bought 3 bottles of Reliable branded ones this time last year for $20 (so about the same price) and I have felt slightly uneasy about them, to be honest. Seeing a more name-brand priced the same, makes me feel a little better.
Nevertheless, I'm a fan of CTM. It does not seem to react with anything, nor have I ever noticed any side effects. For those worried about expiration, you can search for the US Army storage study, and they found many medications last much longer than required FDA expiration dates. For lost-moisture tablets like these, I vacuum seal the bottle and freeze it for the next health emergency.
A biochemist told me not to worry about expirations for tablets. The molecules are stationary and not degrading as long as they are kept cool and dry. Liquid medicine does degrade with time.
Most important to heed expiration dates though are Epi-pens, which have active enzymes that quickly become ineffective.
How well does this work compared to clariten, zyrtec and allegra? How many do you take a day?
I get away with 3 a day at my worst times... and have had better luck with these than Claratin. Everyone seems to be a bit different.
As for expiration dates, mine was almost 2 years away. Plus, there was a major study by the US Army which found that the vast majority of pills stored in a reasonably good manner retained at least 80% effectiveness for decades. They we considering whether to destroy old DoD medical stockpiles and found there was no need to.
