+EraSeek Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Is it just me or is something going on with Lock-n-Lock. I am having a hard time finding them. Walmart, Target, Fred Meyer all seem to be going to SnapTight I think they are called. Lower quality at a higher price. Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 That's not good. I was going to do a run this week and buy some lock-n-locks, but if they're not at wal-mart or target, I'm not sure what I'll do. I'm working on geocaching stuff for a summer camp and want some good choices for caches to place there. Quote Link to comment
+intolerable Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I tried to find some today, but alas, none to be found anywhere I went. I've noticed they haven't been at the Redmond Target for a while now and couldn't find them on the Target website. Quote Link to comment

+WeightMan Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 They are available online. This site even has camo ones. Unfortunately they don't have one the size I need. I have heard that Central Market has had them. I did try Target yesterday and they had none. Quote Link to comment
+Barnabirdy(s) Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Uwajimaya in Seattle or Bellevue has (had?) a good selection. Of course it's a little far for us to go to check up but we'll be over there around the 19th and never miss stocking up at Uwajimaya. Barnabirdy(s) Quote Link to comment

Barnabirdy(s) Uwajimaya in Redmond has a large selection; just bought some there a week ago. There are a lot of online places to get them. I visited the Lock & Lock site - never realized it was an Australian company. Quote Link to comment
+jtomason Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I bought some at Wal-Mat the other day and there were plenty. Quote Link to comment

+Allanon Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Our own Lookout Lisa is a distributer of Lock & Lock containers and is able to buy them in bulk. She sells them both 'natural' and pre-camo'ed. Quote Link to comment
+Half-Canadian Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 QVC.com has a wide selection of sets at good prices and reasonable shipping if you want to stock up on a few at a time. Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I forgot that last time I was at the dollar tree, they had some lock-n-lock knock-offs, one size, guessing about 5x3x2. Quote Link to comment
+k5blazer84 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Bi mart has them picked a few up this weekend Quote Link to comment
+EraSeek Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 I don't go there very often but Walmart has them back in. That's good! The last few times I have checked (multiple) Target stores they haven't had them, but used to. But at least now I know they are still around. Quote Link to comment
+Difranco Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Just bought some Lock N Locks at the Wallyworld in Lacey. Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Yay, All41 went to Wal-mart today and was able to buy some lock-n-locks. They didn't seem to have the round/cylindrical ones, but they had plenty of the square/rectangular ones. Quote Link to comment

She sells them both 'natural' and pre-camo'ed. Thanks, I bookmarked the link to her page. I like the "pre-camo'ed" ones. Thank you! I just camo'ed up a bunch yesterday now that the humidity was finally low enough Like Allanon said, I can get these in bulk for a pretty nice deal. If folks are interested, I can arrange a bulk order (at cost -this is for the community, not for my profit) like what some folks have done with acquiring ammo cans in bulk. If there is enough interest (and a ship-to address and helper for distribution), I can set something up. Another option would be free pick-up at our WSGA Campout here in Spokane the first weekend of August. Let me know what y'all think. Quote Link to comment
+Elde Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I was in Uwajimaya's Seattle store today, and they had a vast array of Lock-n-Locks in stock. Quote Link to comment
+TeamIDFC Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Meant to reply to this but forgot until I spotted the cotainers I was thinking about. When out looking for Lock-N-Locks 6 months ago (and not finding any) we found Rubbermaid Twist & Seal liquid storage containers at Fred Meyer. They work well for small containers, are cheap, and seal well. We even camo'd a few... Quote Link to comment
+TeamIDFC Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Accidentally found another source for Lock-n-Locks today - Paldo World in Bellevue. 549 156th Ave SE in the Lake Hills Shopping Center. We stopped in to grab the random crazy asian coolness they've got and found half an isle of Lock-n-Locks, including some really cool small ones we hadn't seen before. And cheap, too...

+The Jester Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I just saw that the Corning Ware store at the Super Mall has some lock and lock's. Not the widest selection, but they are there. Quote Link to comment
+wulfpups Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I've also seen them recently at Ross. Again not a big selection, but they are at a great price. Quote Link to comment
square_peg Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I saw some at TAP Plastics this summer. Lot's of cool stuff there, too. Quote Link to comment
+brodiebunch Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) www.heritagemint.com carries them and the Storables store at the University Village has a version of them. Groundspeak carries a set of 3 that are labeled with the green geocaching sticker. Edited October 12, 2008 by brodiebunch Quote Link to comment

+scottch Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 For those with Linen-n-Things near you, they tend to carry Lock-n-Lock containers. Plus since the store is going out of business, you might be able to get a good price during the liquidation period. Quote Link to comment
+rafermadness Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 That's a brilliant idea. Have one of those places close. I've never actually had a problem getting them from the Targe down the road. Maybe I am the only one buying them around here. Quote Link to comment

+Allanon Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) Lookout Lisa, owner of Cache Advance, would like to let folks know that she would like to extend holiday greetings by offering to broker an order of Lock and Lock containers at cost for those that want to participate. If you are interested in participating, contact me through my profile prior to December 20th and I can send you a flier with sizes and prices. The savings are an average of 40%...and that doesn't even include the savings on shipping which she will also cover. Because of this special offer, this is a cache...oops...cash/check only offer. To make things easier for both you and her, I will be collecting all orders and money and then placing one big order on the 20th. I'm offering to be a 'drop ship' point if it will make delivery and distribution easier, otherwise delivery will probably be during the weekend of the Whidbey Cache Machine. At this time, Lisa wants to stick to the 5 sizes that she normally carries on her site. If this is popular, a larger list of sizes and prices may be available in the future. Edit to say, since delivery will be made to me, it would be helpful if you live or will be traveling to the Monroe or Totem Lake area for pickup.
