Default Staples RUBs - nice but expensive.. any discount codes?

Really like the staples RUBs as they look good quality and have the lockable handle bits on them but damn..£20 for a 50L RUB with delivery. Can get think its 3 for £8 or 12 think it is in the likes of poundstretcher etc.

Anyone got any discount codes or anything? I know there are other places that do similar but would really like to get it from Staples..

The RUB website (manufacterers) is often cheaper than staples

I find Viking good value. If you buy more than 3 they are cheaper too.
Also free delivery if you spend over £30!

Indeed. A quick run over with a soldering iron (or a knife that's been on the hob) will be good for that if you're out of sealant.

thats where I ended up getting one from, argos.

unfortunately they didnt have any in stock and was going to take about 2 and a half weeks for them to get one in for me. Strange as theres a massive argos warehouses in the town I live in and again a massive one in the next town away.

ended up ordering it for home delivery, costing £17.50 which is still rediculous for what is essentially a plastic box but hey ho, at least its the daddy of plastic boxes. Suppose when you think of it as its my new boas house for the next couple of years, it doesnt sound as bad. Its still a box for £17 though. Oh well..

As for cracking a lid, thats the kind of thing I would do but wouldnt like to come home with a RUB with a crack in it as I like my new things bright and shiny with no faults.

Still over the moon with my new boa, I might add he was still hissy as a mofo this morn when I took him out to change his water. Put him on the counter for a bit while I sorted his RUB out then every time I went near he was hissing away, when I went to pick him up, the hissing got louder. Called his bluff and picked him up and he was fine after another few hisses. Next time I got him out, no hissing, handled him for a good half hour and he was chilled as you like just couldnt resist handling him after I said I wouldnt for a week. Oops..
