Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.
I have 8 of the 3 Liter size. They hold all kinds of goodies. I just got the last two earlier this evening. One is orange and one is teal. My Office Depot had a whole bunch of new ones right by the entrance. It was hard to choose what color to get. I love these two and second the person who said they are great for CD/unmounted stamp storage. You can easily fit 19 CD cases in and one more on the side. Blessings..
Congrats on your surprise! Too cool.
Does the 34 quart hold 12 x 12 paper? That's a container I've been looking for and this looks like something that would fit my need.
are 25 litre. They had to send the folders to me from the UK so I don't know that they are ready to start selling these in the US yet. This was the whole point of me writing to Office Depot because I want to be able to purchase the boxes and the folders. I think it's a great product and hope that someday I will be able to find them on some companies shelf.

It's not only great customer service, but they just got a bunch of free advertising. Over 1100 people have looked at this thread, and many who've commented sound like they're going to buy some. Bet they make the money from your free gifts back in full and then some. :mrgreen:

Yes I'm sure your right once some company out there starts carring them there will be a lot of happy scrapbookers.

Well, according to their website, they are opening warehouses in the US and their US webstore should go live sometime in August:
I bought a couple of the 3 litre boxes at Office Depot a while back and I have to say they are perfect for cards...I'm always looking for good storage boxes and had bought some different ones that I was not as satisfied with. I'll be waiting for the full webstore to open next month!

I was excited when I read about the web store too, but I'd love to be able to purchase these in local brick and morter stores to save on shipping costs.

I bought the 32qt Really Useful Box thinking it was the 25 ltr container that fits the sb paper. Needless to say it didn't and got returned. what I found is that Rubbermaid sells this tote, works for 12x12 paper and holds a lot! I'm altering file folders I already have to fit:

Hmm, their warehouse is somewhere in Illinois. Do you think it will be in the Chicago area and can we just stop on by and pick a few up? :-D

Is there 12" of depth from where the files hooks rest on the lip edge? Does that make sense? Will your paper be supported from the top of the folder or rest on the bottom?

they do seem to be the most durable of boxes, even used by police department for archival records. and every size imaginable. They even have a USA home page. Will have to try and find a staples, and home depot to save on shipping cost I'm not sure I don't understand why they don't have convertible measurments for USA to figure out, they have it for some, but I suppose shipping is way out of line anyway

No there isn't, the paper will be over the top of the file, but the lid is tall enough to cover the tops without damage and giving you the option of seeing what paper you have immediately. I am cutting up regular file folders and adding 1 1/4 inches to the bottom of the hanging folder. Will take a pic and add later.....

I love mine too! I got a bunch of pink ones a while back when I was looking for some pink ribbon stuff. I only wish they had the bigger ones here in store
I ordered on Thursday afternoon. Because the total was over 70.00 (?) I didn't pay for shipping. I received them Friday morning. Not to bad I say!
These boxes are fab! Sturdy too! Order ladies order! LOL!

Cool, what did you order? Did you order from the site in the UK?

I'm curious also, did you order from the office depot or the UK?

Oh, I am so watching this thread... I have been waiting to move my 12x12 paper storage vertical! The 12x12 container with the tray for matching embellishments is a dream!
Waiting to hear if people are ordering from the UK site or if US ordering is available yet...

i've been looking for something for my CD/stamp storage. i have a box, but hate that the lid doesn't fit well. this looks PERFECT. i may have to stop into OD too

I actually transported my See D's in the CD box from England to US in my suitcase. The lid if you don't want to use it at the moment will sit underneath the container quite easily - when the lids are on the containers of the same size they stack quite nicely.
What I will say is that once full they definitely aren't lightweight! so if people have lifting issues this may not be their answer.

thanks for your comments! i really hoped they would be stackable. i don't see using the boxes as portable. i usually pick what i need from my closet storage and carry it out to my dining room. but, i want something that will stack, maybe even on it's side. i'm using the rubbermaid boxes like these, but they don't stack whatsoever and you have to find someplace to store the lids!
We have been using these boxes for years. Got them when we lived in Europe and were excited to hear they were coming to USA! We love them for garage storage. They are sturdier than most stuff for stacking heavy items, the sides are straight rather than tapered, so you can store smaller boxes all the way down in them. You can see through as as to easily find the Christmas decorations and they stack so nicely with no tipping. Love 'em! I forgot to say that many of the smaller boxes stack perfectly on top of larger ones. Say 2 X boxes are the same size as the top of one Y box, etc.

I hope they hurry up and get completely stocked over here - we are clearing out my mother's garage:rolleyes: and she used the cardboard boxes that paper comes in for her storage- I like to see through storage and not worry that the lid will accidentally shift off so these are definitely on my need list!
Too cool.. I gotta check out them there boxes.. LOL.. Really, I share my scrap space with my 9 month old.. yea Ugh.. and he has more room in his room than I do. LOL.. I need some organization
Thank you so much for letting us all know about these boxes, McStamper! I just ordered three of the 3 liter size from Office Depot; I'm actually going to pick them up at a nearby store to save on the shipping (which would have cost $9.95).
I love the way these boxes look in your photos, so I'm thrilled to be getting them! Thanks again for filling us in -- I love to get things that come with good recommendations!

I've been using the Really Useful Boxes for years. I love, love, love the colors and have every color they make. I use them in my scrapbook room and in my classroom's at 2 schools. I can't believe it, but I do not own any clear containers!
I'm a music teacher and the 3L size holds my CD's perfectly. Each container holds 18 CD's.

I have these boxes and they hold A LOT of paper. I am very pleased with them. I don't have anyone who carries them locally, not even my Office Depot, so when I got them they were a welcome addition to my room. When I go mobile they are easy to transport. They stack nicely.
