Can i ship plastic storage bins

One year, my son had an enormous room with heaps of storage space. Another year it paid to make sure the box would fit under bed. Might be close to same cost as USPS--and you know son will have it delivered to room with him. I did consider sending it as extra baggage with the airline, but he will be returning alone with 3 duffels, a rollaboard carryon and a backpack.

No way will he be able to manage the bin, too. I'd rather have it sent directly to the dorm. But he says if he can't find a spot in the room or the closet, he can leave it in the dorm basement. This summer he left several items in the basement but had no box or container in which to store them -- simply left them loose.

I'll be amazed if they're still there when he returns. That's partly why I want him to have the big Rubbermaid bin, so he can store it all in one place in the basement over summers. Stanley bins is one brand, and there are others. If anything gets broken or lost you may not have any rights to collect insurance. Last Post. Advanced Member. Thanks for your help! Bry Quote.
