Are these plastic bins tough enough to ship?

Can I ship those via UPS or Fedex or whatever? Can I bring them on an airplane (checked)?

I boxed my stuff up at the beginning of the summer b/c I was subletting. I never unboxed it b/c I decided to move. So it'd be convenient if I could just ship these things directly. But at the same time if they're likely to break, I'd rather rebox now than have lose my stuff.

I would not trust that shit as they will break, not bend.

wrap it up with packaging tape like no motherfucker has wrapped it before and you will be fine...

If you are sure it will hold the weight of 3 average sized autos on top of it without breaking, it is safe for UPS transport.

Are you planing to buy these or do you already have them? If you are planing to buy, they do make plastic boxes made for shipping and I imagine they'd be strong enough.

Kinda expensive though but they are made solid if that's the same as the ones I've used before. They are useful for general storage too so it's not really a 1 time thing.

I already own a few of them. Ns1, that is exactly what I'm afraid of. But I guess a couple others are saying it'll work fine if I tape it up like crazy? lol
