I've done some checking, Maplins do a similar box to the ZAG one, it's made by Raaco and is called service case 13 - they are £5.99 each. Look under tools on their website. Maplins have a store in Manchester at Fort Retail Park. The postcode is M8 (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.uk)

A picture tells a thousand words. Poundstretcher is one store I know is nearby. I've never seen boxes there before but those stores stock whatever is cheapest at that time so I should just keep checking back. Those zagboxes look really useful for (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.uk)

Hi Tim, What are you after? Crates, drawers or trays? The DIY places can be good for all of the above. Where about in Manchester are you? There are loads of places like the B&Q Warehouses which have good selections of plastic storage solutions. Tony (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.uk)
