Have you tried one that has the child resistant zipper? I had issues with the regular ziplock pulling off the actual bag when opening it or than a few times. I got the child resistant ones recently and have not had that issue at all, just the design of the C-R zipper prevents pulling off side of the bag. I'm assuming that was the issue everyone was having? A slide-lock would be awesome, hopefully that is in the plans.The ziplock mechanism on these bags is questionable to put it nicely. I've heard this from lots of people on several forums. And found it to be lacking myself
Very cool product, just could be manufactured to be better/more reliable product with a sliding-zipper to close. You know the "slide-lock" feature on new good ziplocks?
Standard ziplock mechanisms are trash for re-using.
I find them much easier to store/handle rather than boxes full of glass jars, etc. I know it seems like that shouldn't be a thing, but it is. I still have a few quart sized jars that I'm going through, but way easier/effective/efficient to have a cardboard box full of these bags on a shelf in our storage area. I do like the quarter-pound size so that I can leave a few untouched and only be actively opening one bag at a time. Last run I didn't heat seal only used the ziploc and it was fine, this next harvest (probably end of January) I'll heat seal 'em.I'm really enjoying the space I'm saving with these bags. I can put a few pounds worth of assorted strains into a cabinet. It used to be 4 giant CVault bins and a bunch of different sized jars. Plus my hash bin used to be a couple of 5 gallon buckets, which didn't really fit anywhere inconspicuous.
The top picture with green is the Grove Bags? Is the green just something holding the bags, because I don't see anything similar on their website? The 10-pack of quarter pounders I bought from them didn't come 'packaged' at all like that or in a Ziploc?I got my bags in the mail. First I got a couple little bags in the mail from Grove for $54. The next day I got a big box full from Dragon for $35.

The most recent order, last week, I was given the option between UPS and FedEx. There was only a few dollars saved between the two.The quote on their site right now is a few bucks less than the $15.40 I paid before...but no non-FedEx showing...

After the reports of super expensive shipping I thought maybe they'd changed what they did, so I just ran a fake order to see what it looked like...and it came out a little bit cheaper. I didn't see a UPS option, but I did stop short of the final checkout page.The most recent order, last week, I was given the option between UPS and FedEx.

Ya. They sent my orders in green plastic bags. I was a little disappointed when they came. But the next day I got that heavy ass box of the Dragons and was happy. I'll do some strength testing. I also plan to watch the RH in each bag or jar when they get something in them.The top picture with green is the Grove Bags?
