Came in a good box. Well packed. But the package the bags were in, was a torn up mess. Which means, someone took this torn up mess. And packed it in the nice box and shipped the trash to me. And allowed Sam's to charge me for it. At least 3 of the 4 packages were usable.

The weight of these bags is amazing. If you can get your food into them without the seam at the top of the bag being compromised, you will have a great food product when you remove it from the freezer. We have had a few problems, though... 1. When we are loading our bags with things of a liquid nature (soups, broths, sauces), we roll the top down once so the "zipper" won't get any food in it and cause a problem with the integrity of the seal when we place it in the freezer. About 50% of the time, these bags will NOT survive a roll down. The corners split and tear and the bag is ruined. Normal close Ziploc bags have always held up under this practice. 2. When you use the bags to store things that are accessed more than once, they tear. We often pre-cook sausage patties, hot dogs, muffins, cookies, etc for our family. They are able to pull them from the freezer for an easy heat and eat. The "easy open" tabs on these bags tear off after only a few uses. I love the weight and the quality of the material the bags are made of, but the design needs to be revisited. I hope this is helpful.

I'm sure that they're the same volume for fluids or small bulk things like nuts, but if you're putting something large in the bags, all the Stay-Open does is make one of the dimensions about 20% smaller. Bring back the old design. For me, these effectively hold half what the old ones did. Unfortunately, all of the other brands have this same stupid design, too.

I recently purchased a new box of these bags from our local club, and the design and quality of the bags has DRASTICALLY been changed/reduced. These newly designed/manufactured bags leak readily, rip and tear when opening the zipper, and separate at the seems on almost every use beyond the initial filling. Buyer beware.

I assume Ziploc would be a no brainer excellent product. However, this batch was a complete nightmare! All boxes in this package seemed to be affected with inperfections. I go (gently) to add food (not overpack at all) and either the side seem splits open or the top side seem splits. I now double bagged my shredded chicken only to have the second bag split. Ziploc always provided a quality product, so I will assume this was a bad batch.

Ziploc bags used to be leak-free, but not anymore. They're basically useless when thawing or marinating food. They leak and create a mess. Plus, they're thinner than they used to be. Bags have actually torn in the freezer. That NEVER used to happen. I will have to find an alternative because they're now JUNK! Further, the company significantly reduced the number of bags, but charges the same price. It used to be 4 boxes of 50. Now, it's 4 boxes of 38. So, less bags and lower quality for the same price. Good job, Ziploc (cue slow Nancy Pelosi clap).

I bought these and I am very disappointed with the stay open design - it limits the amount you can put in the bag! Today I tried to put a steak in a quart bag for the freezer but the length was not there so had to use a gallon that ended up folding three times over the steak.

Worthless bags why would anyone think the side opening would be if any good use?

Bags do not seal. Useless

Some of the bags don’t close.
