I wrote an email to Sterilite re their Model #1756 tubs and this was their reply.

Thank you for contacting us. You may find our item #1756 and 1754 at Target stores nationwide. We make this item exclusively for them and they are your only source. We do not depict retailer exclusive items on our website as they are not available to the public. Please inquire with the Housewares Manager at your local store if none are on the shelves, or, you might want to try another Target store.

Our shipment records indicate regular shipments of this item to the Target distribution center for your state. We appreciate your interest in finding Sterilite products and let us know should you need further assistance.

That information appears to be inaccurate. It is not what I was told or experienced at the Target stores in So. Cal.
I always purchase extra boxes for any rack and so the post in the forum did nothing more than to prompt me to check into the status at my local Target stores.
I ended up picking up a couple of 1752 and 1754 tubs because they were on the shelf. There was no back stock. Also, the 3 stores in the west end of the San Fernando valley in LA were all sold out of the 1756. It was in their computer inventory listing as a clearance item. None available and none going to be available. I did see a 1655 box that is listed as 28 quart but the dimensions appear to be really close to the 1756. This could be a substitute.
I did not check online but they might be available.

They are still available in Oregon at all the Targets and are not on clearance. You may want to contact Sterlite and inform them so they can contact those stores.

I live in Florida and I have purchased all my 1756 tub at Walmart,to bad your not in Florida ,I have about 50 tubs Im not using

I bought them at the target in Eagle Rock/ glendale maybe 3 months ago if you are in San Fernando Valley. Maybe you should call around first, they have them.

Because of the previsous thread on Sterilite tubs I went to my local Super Target here in Central Florida where I usually buy my 32 qt tubs and was told that the 32 qt Sterilite tubs on the shelf were all that were available and they had been "discontinued."

I then went to another Target and was told they had none in stock and didn't anticipate anymore, although they did not use the word "discontinued." I went to a third Target and found what I needed for a new rack coming in the next few weeks plus some extra just in case. I did not ask the third Target if they will get anymore in.

If they have not been discontinued, someone, somewhere has screwed up big time in the message being given to Target customers.

Well, looks like you will only be able to order them online which is actually for the better because at the Targets near me you need to pull the entire stock on the shelf off and check every tub for cracks and breaks.........

I can no longer find them in several Targets in southern NJ.

I bought materials for 2 more racks and never thought they'd discontinue these since they seem to sell well. What the heck?????

Does anyone know what's going on?

Deptford Target ran out and aren't getting any in either. I think the Super WalMart in Bridgeton still has a bunch left -- call and ask a housewares manager maybe? I donno how far south or how far west or east you are... Hope that helps.
