Review on Sterilite Large Nesting ShowOffs 18768606 - Clear with Blue Aquarium Handle and Latches - 6-Pack by Lisa Barber

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Containers are not actually sealed, arrived damaged and with missing parts

I really don't like reviews based on issues other than the product so let me start with the fact that these containers are actually bad and are closed . If you're looking for containers with lids that close well enough to seal out moisture and bugs, keep looking. Despite the sturdy-looking side clips, they only fit the bottom (the basket itself) tolerably, and the handles are just long pieces of plastic that insert into slots, leaving them open to unwanted elements as well. Baskets probably work well in situations where a special "closed basket" isn't required, just a simple lid to allow containers to stack nicely on top of each other. Another non-product related issue I had is the incredible condition/delivery. The FedEx courier, who arranged the box so that no damage was visible, gave me an electronic device with a tag on it upon delivery and informed me when I signed that he had put a damage tag on it. I stopped and tried to look at the damage but he told me he couldn't let me "see" that amazons put things in double boxes and that given his damage description there was no problem with returns if something was damaged. Because the hole in the side of the outer box was big enough that I could at least have a semi-decent look at the inner box, which had enough space between it and the outer box to indicate that it could actually avoid any impact and see it good. I went ahead and signed. I suspect the Sterilite is that weak - the inner box WAS intact, but when it was opened I found that the stacked lids had suffered significant damage. Only one remained unharmed. Even without damage it is a quality control issue as there were five caps not six and one of the damaged caps also had part of the handle missing completely (not due to damage, it was a severe tear on the rim). the lid).
