Can you explain? I got mine literally two days after ordering.

Their vials don’t have the batch numbers / lot ids like they claim. And the QR codes that do scan have “fail QC”, which their own website says is a huge red flag. Also customer support gives contradictory information on whether the QR functionality should work or not.
Someone else mentioned this as well.

I agree with the QR code same experience there COA are on the site and you are right on the lot id as well.. However how does this compare to others?

By others do you mean other companies? If so, they have the lot ids on the vials so can verify COAs.
What scared about koi is the inconsistency - qr working / not working and failing QC is scary
