I haven't been able to find canning lids in my local stores because of the pandemic. Before the pandemic, there were lids aplenty and finding them was as easy as going to Kroger. Seems like folks are either hoarding them or people got involved in gardening and canning for the first time, maybe from boredom. I'm just glad to be able to find genuine Ball canning lids and bands on eBay at a reasonable price. I've been gardening and canning since 1989. Thanks a million!!

Product is much thinner than ones I bought last year. Haven't used them for canning yet so not sure how they will work.

We normally stock up on canning lids throughout the year just because we know that we’re going to Ken and we’re gonna be doing all kinds of different things throughout the growing season. Since Covid hit, we have not been able to find any Kenny lives locally and we live in a small area with very few choices that we left in the grocery stores and at our local Walmart and that is the best we can do here. I had looked out of town and they’re just were none to be found even a couple bigger cities that I visited so… This led to be going on eBay and looking to see what I can find and here they were and the price was good and the lids arrived in good condition. Well wrapped. We prefer only to buy ball or Kerr lids and felt this was the best available purchase price. Very pleased to have found the lids we were looking for. Read full review

Ball.... Kerr... Same company. These are better quality than the bargain brands. I don't want to mess around with junk when it comes to canning. The price seems a little high but I suppose the people panic was the cause of that. Been canning for 45 years then all of a sudden you can't get lids, rings, any canning supplies.

We have used Ball canning products for many years and my mother used them when I was growing up so I don't question the quality of Ball products. Recently there has been a shortage of canning lids because more people are canning their garden produce now. The pandemic also has made the shortages worse.

Ball canning lids are top quality. the cost of all canning supplies have risen 'out of sight.' This was best value I could find. It seems retail prices went up exponentially with COVID-19 and aren't going back down. Same as with toilet tissue, paper towels, vinyl gloves and many other items. Believe sellers are taking advantage of 'shortages' to boost profit margins.

They are original BALL brand lids and work great. With the high demand for jars and lids right now, the price was a little high compared to what you could normally buy them for at big box stores. Watch out for boxes with a American Flag on the that say "made in USA", because they are "knock-offs"

During this time when canning lids are so hard to find, I was so thankful to find these Ball lids. I've searched on line since none have been available in our stores. I decided I was not willing to risk buying a cheaper off brand product & taking a chance that, after all of my efforts to can, the other lids might not be secure!!!!

Product exactly as described. I mean what can you say about canning jar lids? They're round and the seal jars. I normally wouldn't buy the Mainstay brand for canning, but I can use them for "dust covers" when I store jars.

Ball lids have always been my first choice of a quality canning lid. Since last year it has been almost impossible to find lids, except for the Chinese knockoffs. That is why I was delighted to find them on eBay and have been willing to pay a high price just to have them.
