Hi All

Last time these tubs were on special, they proved quite popular. By the time I made it in to store last time around, they had sold out.

Apparently they are much better quality than other storage tubs, and easier to see through, making identification of what is in them easier.

This deal is available in store, but also online. Thanks to the codes provided by den_yong yesterday, you can not only get these delivered, but also get $10 off if you spend over $50.

So, if you order 7 of them at $7.99ea = $55.93 - $10 discount = $45.93 or $6.56ea. Available for click and collect, or free delivery.

Happy storing (of your many years of ozbargain purchases)!!

26/10 - It looks like stock has run out in many locations.

You'll probably be lucky to have an online order fulfilled. Rain checks available in store (however $10 discount wouldn't be available).

    Hopefully they are much better quality than other storage tubs. I got a few cheap container from Kmart, the bottom broke when fill it with books and lift it up.

      I've had mine delivered now, and I can assure you, they are much better than the cheap generic ones I've bought before.

      Stealing some of mgowen's analysis:

      Easily the best tubs are the 52L "Starmaid" ones sold at Woolies and Big W:

      Much stronger
      Properly transparent (It's really useful to be able to see what's inside without pulling it out an opening it, especially if it's at the bottom of a stack)
      No "ridge" around the bottom (most have this, cuts into your hands, makes them impossible to lift from bottom when full)
      No wheels (they break immediately and jam up if the contents is heavy anyway - which is of course the only time you'd need wheels)
      Lid closes well / pretty airtight / clip lock handles
      stable when stacked 5 or 6 high
      Australian made
      Food grade BPA Free
      5 Year Warranty

      Dimensions: L558mm, W390mm, H325mm

      52L of books is like what? A tonne?

      Those cheap black Kmart ones are actually some of the better cheap ones. Just don't try and put a crazy amount of weight and they will last years.

      • [Deactivated] on 25/10/2013 - 03:32

        I looked at the Kmart ones a couple of weeks ago - just lifting one out of the stack cracked it. There was several broken lids lying around too.

        • c0balt on 25/10/2013 - 15:12

          That's no good. Were they the thick black ones? I bought a couple a year or so back (on recommendation from this site) and they have been great. Filled up with old phones, computer parts, RC gear and the like.

      • tron07 on 28/10/2013 - 10:01

      Haha, the one bulk purchase I actually believe.

  • greenie4242 on 24/10/2013 - 17:25

    These really aren't very good quality compared to the Supercheap Auto ones, which can regularly be be purchased for sale at 3 for $20 every few months. I'd steel clear of these. They are slightly better than the 'generic' ones but still tend to shatter easily and have far too much bend in them.

    • turbodude on 24/10/2013 - 17:30

      Do you have a link to the ones you are talking about at Supercheap? There are heaps of different ones on their site.

      • greenie4242 on 24/10/2013 - 17:44

        If you need clear boxes or something fairly airtight, these Starmaid are the ones to go for. If you don't need clear or airtight but prefer something with wheels that can take some punishment, the Supercheap Auto ones are probably better suited.

        They don't have 52L boxes but the closest comparable sizes they have at Supercheap Auto are 45L and 80L. They have wheels, and also they're not clear like the Woolworths ones, just so you know it is a different product we're talking about. But they achieve roughly the same goal, so we're not comparing apples to oranges, more comparing Big Red to Granny Smith:

        http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/search-results.aspx?keyword…

        45L:
        http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online-store/products/SCA-R…
        80L:
        http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online-store/products/SCA-R…

        They're not on special at the moment, but every few months they have catalogue sales, eg 45L 3 for $20, I think the 80L is about 3 for $24. If you're buying ten or so you can usually chat to the manager and get a bit of a discount.

        The website now says 'Available in store only' so I'm a bit concerned they won't be stocking them any more after this lot is exhausted. I've been buying them for 10+ years, they're extremely sturdy and rugged compared to all the other types of plastic storage boxes I've tried. Never had an SCA one break, but the Woolies, Coles, Target, KMart brands I bought have all broken/cracked/shattered without even putting them through anything particularly demanding. I've acidentally dropped the SCA ones, left them in the sun, put things that are way too heavy in them etc and they've all survived.

        • greenie4242 on 24/10/2013 - 17:54

          I retract my original comment about the Starmaid brands shattering easily - very sorry but I was confusing them with some crappy 'Starmax' brand I'd bought years ago, all of which broke nearly immediately. I just found I had one genuine Starmaid container here, and the quality seems very good, comparable to the Supercheap ones.

          Sorry about the confusion.

          I still stand by the Supercheap Auto ones being very good quality, but as stated they're not clear and they have wheels, so these Starmaid ones are better for some uses. According to previous threads, Starmaid seem to be very good quality:

      That is NOT Starmaid brand, that is a generic brand, and will probably break very easily.

      Officeworks DO sell Starmaid 52L boxes, but they are $17.98:
      http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/products/Furniture/Stor…

      I wonder, are these Woolworths codes published anywhere, so we can price match at OfficeWorks and use ING 5% PayWave for an extra discount?

      • youknow on 24/10/2013 - 18:23
        +1

        Officeworks will (if the wind is blowing your way, and you're polite etc) price beat anything if you take in a print out of the checkout screen showing all costs including delivery. I've had them match overseas websites quite often (inc delivery of course). Of course, we're talking about a potential $2.30 saving here (for 7) for a fair bit of hassle. If you were going to buy stacks, sure, but I'm not sure it's worth the time, print our, hassle of negotiating, travel etc…. unless you enjoy the thrill! :)

        • backpaqer on 25/10/2013 - 09:50

          And you can use officeworks as a secondary supply at the same price with their pricematching if Woolies/Bigdub run out of stock ;)

    Love these things, but I've found the extra compartmentalisation and stacking strength of the 30L ones (which are the same width/length but less tall) more useful in practice for household storage. The 52L are great for some larger items but the 30L or even the 20L can be the better default size depending on usage, so don't overlook the other size options.

    • youknow on 24/10/2013 - 21:15
      +1

      Yeah, smaller ones would be handy. Sadly the 52L seem to be the only ones Woolies have :(
      As a side note, looks like Woolworth Online is experiencing some technical errors. I'm not surprised considering the number of Woolies promos there are at the moment!

      I think their online site had been flaky since yesterday evening. I don't think it's specific to this product. In theory, there's plenty of time (assuming stock isn't an issue).

  • Yael on 25/10/2013 - 10:00

    If I stack them ontop of each other, do the lids crack? I normally don't put very heavy things in (kids clothes in smaller sizes etc), but my ones from Kmart & Target the lids get broken VERY easily. I don't get them down from the cupboards all that often, but stacking them on top of each other (and every so often somebody standing on a lid!!), break them, although gaffa tape on the cracks seems to do ok also

    Or am I better going with the ones from Supercheap auto? 80lt is a better size for me, but would rather go with quality.

    • Jabba the Hutt on 25/10/2013 - 11:49
      +1

      The lids tend to bow under pressure rather than break. Can handle 50+ kilos, although that's true of the cheapies as well - difference is the plastic is less brittle and probably won't weaken as readily over time and become prone to snapping.

  • Maverick-au on 27/10/2013 - 12:51

    Ordered 10 and added in some items at the same time and successfully received the $10 discount. Noticed that they tried to substitute cheap ones for a few users so checked my order and substitution allowed was on for the containers but not the other items?

    I amended the order to remove the substitution and wasn't able to use the $10 off voucher again so had to pay an additional $10 so I emailed them asking for a $10 refund (what sort of backwards system does Woolworths have - every time I use their online service I'm amazed at how poor the user interface is and why does it cancel the order when you make an amendment?).

    Last night they cancelled the 10 but the other items are still coming shortly (Western Suburbs in Brisbane)

    Went to my local store this morning to grab a few items and they had 10 in stock (Still marked at $15.98 but scanned at $7.99) so grabbed them all.

    I don't understand why if they are short of stock they can't obtain it from another location for the delivery or offer to deliver it later?

    • davidl2 on 28/10/2013 - 23:18
