Hi guys,

Actually you can get sterilite tubs in the U.K. - in theory.

I emailed sterilite about3 weeks ago and asked for local suppliers and got this in return;

"Thank you for contacting Sterilite. Our distributor for the UK and your area is:

I tried emailing and didn't get a reply so I phoned and spoke to them.I was only looking for 6-8 tubs however and he took my number and said he would call me back to let me know prices and possible delivery options - never heard a damn thing since.
I keep meaning to call them again but it might be an idea if we all mention what we want them for to let them know there may actually be a reasonable amount of sales of the product if they would only bother talking to us.
Maybe if we found out if they have a minimum amount that we could buy then split and mail through a carrier it might be possible for us to get them -after all they are big but surely don't weigh much so we could stack them and tape the lids on top etc and see how much it would be.

As to the tub you linked too I agree it seems a little small for a large adult royal - and incidently poundstretcher round the corner from me sell a clear version for £6.The shape of the bottom worries me though in both of them.

If anyone has better luck than I did we could post it in this thread and maybe we all get lucky - I want a rack dammit.
