The 19 Compartment Storage Container on page 3 at $20.90 is available from =
Harbor Freight in the US for around $10.00, frequently on sale for about $7=
..00. They are what I use for many of my small parts.

they SEEM to be going strong. Hopefully they are.

They stock a reasonably wide range of components  plus many electronics
products. Very few "consumer" products.

Here is page 2 of their latest mailer which gives an idea of the type of
'goodies' that they supply.
I'm impressed with their range (while not up to Frys' ;evels).
Being able to buy eg a 3D printer / CNC ... / LASER etcher off the shelf is
nice.
3D scanner / inspection camera / PSU / digital scale ...
Note that the digital scale at $239 seems to set a new high in pricing -
I'd expect to buy similar in the $15-$30 range elsewhere here.

Prices are usually not at all nice. Can't have it all.
Divide by about 1.6 for $US
