Wilkinsons Bag for Life replacements

Options
Hi,
Not sure which board to use but: In 1998 I bought some Wilkinson's 'Bag for life' shopping bags. OK - so they haven't quite seen me out but they are now past their useful life.
At the time I bought them, there was a sign saying Wilkos would replace them for free when they were worn out and to be fair after 15 years of weekly use for the family supermarket shop means I have had my money's worth BUT - I wondered if anyone has successfully had their old ones replaced by Wilkos?

    I tried to get mine replaced in Tesco when my 'Tesco bags for life'were unusable, but they said they couldn't replace them as they don't sell that kind anymore.....good luck with willco

    If it's a plastic bag that was like 5 p or 10 p that should be exchanged for a new bag , but if it's the proper shopping bags that sell for 50 p to more , then no , those ones are not exchangeable and don't come under the bag for life rules

    Mine has started to go must have had them at least 10 years. They bright green think they costs around 50p
  • Are they the squarish green bags with a flat bottom and stand up by themselves? Mine are starting to go also. The best purchase I have made - much better than ordinary plastic bags and only need a few compared to the hundreds of carrier bags I seem to use for my weekly shop.

    Would be good it they would exchange.

    I've always found Wilko CS to be very good - why don't you give them a call and see what they say? Free to call too :) - 08000 329 329
