Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and would like to clarify an important point. It would be impossible for the barcode numbers you received to have been previously used. Each barcode number we sell is issued one time only. Once a number leaves our system, it is permanently removed and can never be sold again to any other customer. At this time, we’re unable to find any prior communication from you regarding this issue. We absolutely want the opportunity to look into this further and make things right. Our team will be reaching out to you directly by email so we can better understand the situation and work toward a resolution as quickly as possible. We value our customers and are committed to helping resolve any concerns.

We understand the confusion and appreciate the chance to clarify. The GS1 GEPIR screenshot you emailed us does not mean your barcode numbers are already in use. GEPIR is GS1’s historical registry and does not show current ownership for many legally owned GTINs. Barcodes that are privately owned (per GS1’s 2002 U.S. class-action settlement) often display the original pre-2002 registrant in GEPIR. GS1 does not update this database after resale, which results in outdated names appearing—this is common and does not indicate reuse or invalidity. Your company fully and legally owns the barcodes purchased from Bar Codes Talk. No other party has the right to use them. Ownership can be verified in our public owner database, where we publish current registrant information for transparency. Our support team is always happy to help explain this further if needed. — Bar Codes Talk Team
