• Roomy and durable

  
  By A30JSFGWPVQZAO on 2007-08-18
  I am very pleased with the quality of these bags. They worked wonderfully on a recent trip to the grocery store. They are very spacious and I love the fact that they are shaped like a standard paper gorcery bag, with a flat bottom. Yet they collapse and fold very easily and take up very little space in storage.
  I was all set to buy a few more -- I hope they become available again soon.
  
  

• I would have bought this item if...

  
  By A166XO398SUZO1 on 2008-01-13
  Shipping and handling didn't nearly double the price of the product. 10 bags or a month's worth of groceries... I'll go with the groceries.
  
  

• Perfect Canvas Grocery Bag

  
  By A9T91PPWMR34K on 2007-12-29
  I purchased about 30 of these bags to share with family. This is the best canvas bag I found for grocery shopping. It is shaped like a typical grocery bag, so baggers don't have problems with it and don't overload it like they used to with my old canvas bags. You can put it over your shoulder if you wish. I put 9 bags in 1 of the bags so I can go in with 10 bags when I shop. It is very sturdy and can easily carry a large laundry detergent container or gallon of milk - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this item.
  
  

• How to Lose a Customer 101

  
  By AC9TDJPYVREAT on 2008-05-21
  Three stars for the bag, no stars for the seller. I wanted a sturdy, washable canvas grocery bag without a promotional logo on it and this bag fit the bill. It is the same size and shape as a standard paper grocery bag, although it's a bit on the limp side and does not stand up straight unless it is full. But it works. My gripe is about a phony discounted price combined with an inflated shipping rate. I ordered six bags and assumed the shipping charge would be adjusted for multiple items. I did not see the actual shipping charge until much later, because I ordered three books from Amazon at the same time and Amazon tallied it all up together. The shipping charge appeared after the order was split into two delivery invoices -- one from Amazon and one from Andrew Christian. The shipping is outrageous. Specifically, I was charged $18.99 for a 1-pound package sent via UPS Ground from California to Seattle. The company used a free box provided by UPS; the published shipping rate for that package weight is about $7. They could have added $2 or $3 for handling and I wouldn't have complained. They could have mailed the same items in a free Priority Mail box for $4.60. If you look at the Amazon storefront for Andrew Christian, their stated shipping rate for all products is $5.49 per shipment or $2.25 per pound for standard shipping to continental U.S. There is a link to a detailed shipping chart that shows Expedited Shipping in 1-3 days for $8.99. For $18.99, I got very average shipping, not fast shipping. So what gives? Why not give an honest price for the product combined with a fair shipping charge? Andrew Christian requested feedback and a chance to fix any problem, so I sent them my gripe, but they didn't respond. Grrrr. I won't order from them again.
  
  
• Excellent Tote Bag
  By A103Z6OYV0OCPJ on 2007-07-26
  These are the best made tote bags I have been able to find. Heavy duty, well stitched, and just the right size for groceries. I finally found a bag worth embroidering on. Definitely will be purchasing more of them in the future.
  
  
• Great Bags - Exorbitant Shipping!
  By A12F4WKLQ1IPFV on 2008-04-14
  These bags are wonderful. Very strong and the perfect size for me. I felt ripped off however by the shipping costs. Why is it when a product gets popular for the good of the planet, sellers feel the need to cash in by making the shipping costs almost twice the price of the product?!? Why not charge high shipping for items that aren't good for the environment instead?

  Port & Company - Grocery Tote Bag
  These are great bags! I love the squared bottom and they are really easy to pack. The handles are also a good length -- not too long like some bags. I'm thinking of ordering some for Christmas to give to friends and family so they'll have an alternative too to the "paper or plastic?" dilemma.

  It was great to be asked by the cashier how many bags you have and get a discount for helping save the grocery store money on buying plastic bags and I can help the environment in some small way. Okay--here is the test: I packed those bags to the top and not only did they stay upright in my trunk but also have carried collectables. I really like the fact that they keep their shape when you fold them back the way they came shipped. So far, I am pleased. I will eventually have to wash them. Until then, I will keep testing them as far as weight and durability.
  
  Thank you!

  By A1R2832X7Z83U7 on 2007-08-19
  These bags are great. I am so glad I have them.
  I hope they last forever. The canvas handles don't hurt
  my hands, like the plastic bag handles do.

  EXCELLENT HIGH QUALITY GROCERY TOTE BAGS. EASY ON YOUR HANDS AND HOLDS ALOT OF GROCERIES. VERY THICK CANVASS SO THEY WILL LAST FOREVER. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE BAGS. WHILE THE SHIPPING CHARGES WERE HIGHER THAN I WOULD HAVE LIKED, THE QUALITY AND THE STRENGTH OF THESE BAGS MAKE UP FOR IT. NO MORE OF THOSE PLASTIC SACKS FROM THE GROCERY STORES. YES !!!
  I ORDERED ENOUGH TO SHARE WITH MY FAMILY . BONUS FOR EVERY FIVE YOU BUY, ONE IS FREE. ( MAKES UP FOR THE SHIPPING ). WELL WORTH THE MONEY YOU INVEST IN THESE. THEY ARE SUPER LARGE AND STRONG AND STAND UP WELL. I WAS ABLE TO FIT THE CONTENTS OF THREE OF THE FLIMSY PLASTIC BAGS INTO ONE OF THESE, MAKING LESS TRIPS FROM THE STREET OR CAR WITH THESE. NATURAL COLOR GOES WITH EVERYTHING. I LOVE THEM.WOULD MAKE A PERFECT GIFT FOR GREEN, ECOLOGICALLY FRIENDLY FRIENDS.
  
  
• The Perfect Bag
  By AAT7E9QO6H5SC on 2008-05-22
  I am very pleased with these grocery totes! They are the perfect size - even when the grocery clerks overfill them they are not too heavy to handle. I love the plain canvas, I love the size, I love the handle length. These are the perfect grocery tote! Thank you, Port & Company!
  
  
• Very pleased

• The Totes are Terrific--5 Stars
  By A22LZAWZO15RDN on 2007-12-19
  The Grocery totes by Port and Company are the best I've found. They're sturdy, washable, easier to handle than paper or plastic and hold approximately twice what a plasic bag holds, yet the sturdy handles make the extra weight negligible. They're much more enviromentally friendly PLUS more functional.
  
  
• Great Cloth Grocery Bags
  By A2TYPUCFWCTHO0 on 2007-12-29
  The Port & Company grocery bags were a Christmas gift to our kids who live in Chicago and walk to the grocery store. No more torn bags. They like them a lot!
  
  
• Excellent Bags!
  By AJ9S8HDX134LA on 2008-01-07
  These are excellent bags; they hold a ton of groceries, wash well, and roll up pretty small so they are easy to carry around in the car. I am planning to buy more to give as gifts.
  
  
• Great bags!
  By A1C8Q9IEXG2URX on 2008-01-12
  I bought these bags for an earth-friendly friend for Christmas and they were a real hit! The canvas they are made of is sturdy, and having a flat bottom like a regular paper grocery bags makes them easy to load and unpack. I even added a patch on each that said "Love Your Mother Earth" with an embroidered picture of a globe. They were a good value too.

• Great bag
  By A19WHC0CJPFIIO on 2008-01-23
  I chose this bag based on the positive reviews. The five bags arrived within days of placing the order, enabling me to use them during my weekly trip to the grocery store. The bags exceeded my expectations. They are roomy, sturdy and easy to carry. I could not be more pleased.
  
  
• Great bags!
  By A25D3ZQUVVHMS9 on 2008-02-10
  I was so impressed when I received these bags. I love how they are designed with a flat bottom so that they stand up on their own. They are a heavy weight fabric and have sturdy handles with double stitching. The first time I used them at the store, the grocery bagger asked me where I got them and said they looked so well made. I had looked at several bags online before purchasing these and feel like I got a great value.
  
  
• Totally practical
  By A2071MKQ1BTVKI on 2008-02-18
  This is the bag I've been looking for--sturdy, just the right size, flat bottom, eco friendly. I've been recycling since the early 70's and this fits right in with my goal of saving the earth for the next generation.
  
  
• Perfect Grocery Bags
  By A31V57RB4LBJUJ on 2008-02-22
  I love these bags!!! I was worried when I bought these bags because the price was high for my family budget but they turned out to be great!! I love the short handles and you cannot believe how sturdy they are. Every store that I have used them in, people comment on how nice they are! Highly, highly recommend. After you have used these you will not want to use a plastic bag again!
  
  
• wonderful bags
  By A356VLBLWPJ8Y7 on 2008-02-27
  Just recieved my grocery bags and I am very very pleased. They have lots of room and are really well made. I no longer have to use plastic that rips and you have to recycle,(for ever). I like the fact too that the bottoms are flat so nothing falls over. They are more then worth the price.
  
  
• Great Grocery Totes

  I love these totes. They hold a lot of everything. The shipping is a bit much but the bags more than make up for it as far as I'm concerned.
  
  
• Tote bags
  By AX3CPM6R0PYPM on 2008-03-02
  The tote is roomy and works well for bringing groceries home. Strong with sturdy handles. I bought 5 and have used them for a week's worth of supplies.
  
  
• These are the best grocery bags!
  By A6ZMZ55CXT4BH on 2008-03-17
  I love these bags. I thought about trying to sew my own, but that seemed very time-consuming and expensive, then I found these. I've been using canvas grocery bags for many years and these are way better than all the other bags I have. Nice and sturdy and they don't fall over in the car or on the kitchen counter.
  
  These bags are a wonderful alternative to the paper or plastic dilemma, and many stores still give a few cents' credit for reusable bags. All the grocery clerks and baggers love them because they stand up well for packing groceries. I just placed another order so I will have nine of these bags, then I'm going to reuse all of my other old floppy canvas grocery bags for other purposes.
  
  Shipping is kind of expensive, and they take a while to arrive, but I'm very happy with my purchase and highly recommend them.
  
  
• great shopping bags
  By AGFGHTZVE5QT7 on 2008-03-23
  The bags are extremely sturdy and hold a great deal of groceries. I can shop for two people for more than a week with 4 or 5 bags. They would also make great library book bags. So wonderful to quit using 9 or 10 plastic bags and help the environment, too.

  The bags were exactly as shown. They are easy to use and fold up. People have asked where I bought them, as they are so well made. Would definitely recommend them.
  
  
• only tote you'll ever need
  By A3OC1Y1HM8IDT2 on 2008-03-28
  Yes it's a grocery tote, BUT we've used it to haul all kind of things for our kids all over the country. The straps are very sturdy and the bag itself is spacious. My husband didn't like the price at first, but now he won't leave the house without at least two in his truck! Like they say you get what you pay for and this is the only tote you'll ever need!!
