The reviewers are correct; the lids do NOT fit!

I purchased four packages at two different times. None of the packages contained lids that fit the storage containers! I made the containers work by purchasing rubber bands from the dollar store and using the rubber bands in a criss-cross pattern to make the lids stay on the containers. This solution was the only way I could put my four packages of containers to good use. Who and where is the quality control manager for Hefty/Reynolds?

Very disappointed. Not like the smaller ones.

Bought these because I love the 28 oz containers. But 1) The lids are not microwave safe, and 2) The lids don't close properly. Three corners fit well, but the fourth corner (doesn't matter which) will not close. If I manage to force it to “click” into place, it pops open within seconds. Highly disappointed.

Do not recommend. Lids do not fit

Purchased these because we needed them to meal prep. Had a flooding in my home so we were meal prepping at my family's home. Little did we know that the lids were not going to fit! We have an hour drive home, so we had to stack them in boxes and hope they didn't leak all over my car. It made a mess. I'm truly disappointed in this product. I can't wrap my head around how Sam's continues to sell them given all the bad reviews these have.

I purchased these so my friends and family could take food home after Thanksgiving dinner and they were horrible! the lids and container are not the same size. they are slightly off from one another and none of the container would close. I get these or the smaller containers every year for this very purpose and this is the first time this has happened. worst part is i bought 3 packs of them. i do not recommend these!

Lids do not seal

I bought these for people to take home leftovers on Thanksgiving. Not one of the lids shut, you could get three corners to seal and when you try to snap the last corner another corner popped off. Thank goodness, I had packing tape so we could seal the containers. Don't waste your money. I had bought the smaller hefty containers before %26 they were great.

Order at your own risk

Really, REALLY wished these would have worked out and that I would have paid more attention to the previous reviews! Bought them for Thanksgiving leftovers for folks to take things home. Stinking lids WILL NOT snap shut!!! Wish I would have checked them when I got them. Lesson learned!

Don't Buy - %23heftydobetter

I was super excited to try these because I already own the 28oz Hefty containers and they are fantastic. The lids fit perfectly and I use them all the time. I bought the 38oz size specifically so I could pack two days' worth of leftovers or make a full salad. Unfortunately, the lids on the 38oz containers do not fit properly at all. You can usually snap down three corners, but the fourth corner will not seal—no matter which lid or container you try. We tested all the lids with all the containers thinking maybe it was a one-off defect, but none of them work correctly. Even worse, if you press down in the middle of the lid to try to get that last corner to seal, the lid just cracks. Now I'm stuck with 25 containers that essentially don't have functioning lids, and I can't return them. I'm extremely disappointed, especially since the smaller size works so well. I expected the same quality and usability, but these are basically unusable for transporting food. I would not recommend the 38oz version unless this issue is fixed.
