I'm thinking of buying a whole bunch of them at one go -- spree'ing for the free shipping :)

What's the use-by dates on the serums if I open them up one at a time?

Fresher is better- I make them fresh every week. The Vitamin C serums have a shelf life of at least 3 months, and the others have a shelf life of about 6 months. After that botanical extracts start breaking down- nothing truly bad happens to them though.

I would store them in the fridge regardless, that's what I do with my other serums and face goodies.
