Hi

This is a business related question! I need to get some bags to store quantities of clothes etc. There are lots on eBay but I don't know about the quality & I wondered if anyone had any recommendations?

Thanks

    I got a few through Lakeland three years ago. THey were useless - started leaking air almost immediately. If you find any that actually work, I would also be interested to know.

    I bought some via Index catalogue that belonged to Littlewoods a few years back & they are still in use & leak no air.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    QVC usually sell these items. When we had some they were really good.

    Contact Lakeland, they'll give you your money back I expect. I'm an irregular customer and when they sent me a survey which asked about anything I hadn't been happy with, I mentioned a couple of things, and they promptly refunded me for them!

    I've just got to remember to take the wretched things with me next time I go to the nearest city for a shop.

    I'd just phone them and ask if you have to do that: maybe because I usually do mail order I get these surveys, and one asked if I'd ever been disappointed in anything.
