Sterilite 6-Pack Industrial Tote, Plastic Storage Container Bins with Lids, 27 Gallon - Heavy-Duty Organizing Containers for Closet, Bathroom, and Office

We bought these at the recommendation of others for checking belongings for a move to Costa Rica. While many of our belongings are being shipped via boat by a moving company, you can't bring any food or liquids or toiletries that way, so those sorts of things have to come via air, and these are just the right size to maximize space for a "checked bag" on a typical airline. Each trip we have made from the US to CR during the buying, moving, and selling our old home process, we've brought 4 more of these along (2 checked bags each for my husband and me). It has allowed us to bring SO much with us that would have been a real struggle if we were sticking to luggage, and we've kept them in CR to use for storage. There are lots of plans available online and on youtube for building large standing racks (or ceiling racks) where you can slide these right in to have a wall or ceiling full of storage bins (which my husband is going to make for his workshop). Every expat I know in Costa Rica has used bins just like this for their moves, sometimes bringing 10+ at a time! They WILL work at your airline, and as long as it's 50lbs or less it's a regular baggage fee. If you go over weight (which we erroneously did with one) it will cost more, but it's still SO worthwhile. Using layers of clothes, and sandwiched between layers of plastic wrap for potential leaks or breaks, I was able to bring my entire nail polish collection (200ish bottles of fancy stuff) in one crate - I could have fit significantly more in the crate, but it was already at about 48 pounds at that point. I slapped fragile stickers on all sides of the crates, and everything arrived safely, no breakage. (There was much debate about how to pack and fly with so much nail polish in an online group I'm in for my favorite brand - it was amazing how invested people got in the outcome and whether my collection might be damaged or taken away at some point along the way. At CR customs, when our luggage went through the X-ray machine, they wanted to look inside (the hundreds of spaced out small bottles of liquid must have been very unusual looking). They were confused as they started pulling out bubble wrap and layers of clothes as my husband tried to come up with the words for "Nail Polish" in Spanish for the customs agent. He gestured towards me about 15 feet ahead, and I just flashed a smile and waggled my fabulously painted nails in their direction and the agent laughed and shut the box. I highly recommend these for checked baggage air travel!! We used plenty of padding (clothing and/or bubble wrap, and zip tied them shut (there were 2 places to do that on each long side), while leaving extra zip ties inside on top just in case somewhere along the way someone needed to open and inspect them, they could re-zip tie them shut. They stayed locked and sealed perfectly, very sturdy, nothing broke or otherwise went awry!

I purchased this storage tub to help organize my garage, and it exceeded my expectations. The plastic is heavy-duty and doesn’t flex or crack, even when it’s full. The lid fits tightly and locks in place, so I don’t have to worry about dust or moisture getting in. I really like that the tubs stack neatly without sliding around — they save a ton of space. The handles are sturdy and comfortable to grip, which makes them easy to carry when loaded. Overall, this is a high-quality storage solution that’s built to last. I’ll definitely be ordering more!

Great Price Point, high quality! I recently purchased the Sterilite 6-Pack Stackable Storage Bins (27 Gallon, Black/Yellow), and they’ve been a game-changer for my storage needs! These heavy-duty totes are incredibly sturdy—the plastic feels thick and reliable, easily holding heavier items like tools, seasonal decorations, and sports gear without any signs of cracking or bending. The 27-gallon capacity is perfect for larger items, and I love how they stack securely with the lids on, saving so much space in my garage. The black and yellow design is sleek and practical, and the lids snap on tightly, keeping everything dust-free and protected. I also appreciate the molded handles, which make carrying them a breeze, even when fully loaded. These bins have made organizing my space so much easier, and they’re versatile enough for home, garage, or even moving. For the price, this 6-pack is an incredible value—I couldn’t be happier with this purchase! Highly recommend to anyone needing reliable, spacious storage solutions.

Order arrived quickly and well packed. These are perfect for sorting various cables and stacking in a corner. These are strong and solidly made. Not flimsy like some I have gotten in the past.

Perfect size. Sturdy and air/water tight. Does not allow moisture to damage what’s stored. Consistent seal all the way around snaps down tight. They stack seamlessly too. Good price too.

They work for what you need them too! I like how they are stackable. They are a little expensive, but I feel like the going rate of a nice storage tote.

⸻ I’ve used the Sterilite 6-Pack Industrial Totes for storing all of my stuff, and I love them! 📦 They’re sturdy, durable, and hold a lot, making them perfect for organizing everything from tools to seasonal decorations. The lids fit securely, which keeps contents protected from dust and moisture.
