Why are posted COAs so old?

I keep running into an issue where I’m vetting someone and click on recently posted COAs, only to discover that the testing occurred six months ago or more. Are pep peddlers recycling COAs? I know most (not all) peps are robust and can certainly last that long in a warehouse, but is business really so slow that it takes months and months for a manufacturing batch to sell out? Many of you have warned us newbs about trusting COAs (thank you); is this what you’re talking about? Should ancient test results be a red flag? Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Read somewhere they can use same coas if they buy the same batch/manufacterer. Only thing that changes is the name at the top. Would explain 15 different vendors with lavender topped R30 all tested Sep 15th....
 
I'm trying to stick to US warehouse ordering. I haven't seen anyone testing any of that. I would be very interested, but I know it would be tough to do. Things go out of stock quickly so you would have to have a group all ready to jump on something when it came in stock. Let me know if anyone has any good options.
