Great box

[MNDodge]

Hey, my wife has some of these in the smaller sizes for craft stuff and they are great boxes. I was gonna buy some action packers, but remembered how nice these thing are, so I looked and they have all kinds of sizes including some nice big ones. These boxes are nice and square with straight sides and stack great. Just thought I would share.

Thanks for the link, always looking for different storage solutions.

I sent them an email asking if they ship to Canada since there's no info that I could find on their site on the topic.
In your opinion MNDodge, would these things be relatively water/dust tight?

These were mentioned in one of the other epic "List your favorite storage boxes" threads.

In the USA, they're available through Staples, I believe. They also had a North-American specific website in-work the last time I checked, so you should be able to order any of the "odd" sizes direct from their NA distributor.

Unfortunately they aren't sealed well. The tops do lock down in place, but the way the top is designed, there are openings. I think they could be sealed well by putting some sort of weather stripping on them.

I think I'm gonna order a couple of the Heavy Duty White ones.

I think it's Office max that sells them. I have a couple of them and they work for me..Being clear is kind of a 2way street. It makes it easy to see what is in the box so I know which one to grab but it also lets other people see what cool stuff you have...

Looks like its Office Depot and Staples:

If you don't want clear, Staples for sure carries their "recycled" line (though possibly only in certain sizes), which is all black. Apparently you can also get colors: http://www.reallyusefulproducts.co.uk/usa/html/colours.php

I bought 2 to store DVD's and other items in our office and definitely like these boxes. Bought them at Staples.
The way the lid sits on the box is with little tabs all the way around the lid. You don't get a flat surface to flat surface seal. Definitely not water or dust proof.

I still haven't rec'd a reply to my email from yesterday.
But, seeing as how Staples carries them, I looked on the Canadian site and found the 64L one that seems to be a good size for my needs, and they list it. Staples.ca is selling it for about $13.00 more than the original site out of the US, but they also offer free shipping on orders over 50 bucks.
I sent Staples a message asking if they could do a store search for me in the Edmonton area so I could go inspect the boxes in person prior to making my purchase.
We'll see if they will get back to me...
