Great site for plastic tubs!

[[Username]]

I just found this site whilst looking for plastic tubs for the rack I plan to build. They have great discounts for bulk buyers and aren't that expensive. Well here's the link hope it helps someone.http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=USPlastic&category%5Fname=96&product%5Fid=3370

How much are tubs in your area? $8.15 for a 27 quart seems a little expensive to me... then with shipping on top of that....

Yeah, if those are the actual prices they are incredibly expensive. Just hit up Wally World. 6 qts are under $1 and I think 32's are under $4

The site said it had discounts 4 bulk orders and if like some that have hundreds of herps could prolly get good deals. If u only wanted a few walmart is prolly better.

We actually use sterlite tubs and we get them at wally world or target (who usually has more in stock) for pretty cheap..

I used to drill all the holes and nearly broke my arm! Then I bought a Weller soldering iron for 10 buck at Depot De Casa and it's like butta.. i can pop my 72 holes in under 5 mins.. wish i had done that on the first 60 tubs..

Nice tip on the sodering iron u put 72 holes in each? Are these 15qt?

 

[okapi]

Im guessing he is using sweater boxes (27 qt or 35 qt)

RT puts 18 holes on each side of his 27qt tubs.

And the discounts arnt really that much. Wasnt the biggest discount like 15%? then shipping prices would go up because of the extra weight...

Hmm. Shipping i always forget about that. Anyone go to sams club to get them?

 

[okapi]

im not a member there, but sams is owned by walmart :main_yes:

yea I figured they would have a better bulk deal but I have been to sam's enough to know they stock way different stuff than walmat. Really I was just wondering if someone had gotten their's there so I could see how much they spent. I'm trying to get an idea of my future racks cost.

 

[okapi]

oh... I have no idea. its been like 2 years since I set foot into a sams club. :main_rolleyes:

Wally world in my area has 5 packs of 6qt for $3.97 and singles at $.97. They carry the 28 qt and 12 qt too. I use 32 qt and 15 qt tubs and they are on sale at target for $5 and $2.50 at times(regular around $7 and $4)
