Interesting chinese sourced Harbor Freight alternative

[Druder]

I've been an avid follower of the garage builds for many years and more recent I've become very intrigued by the Harbor Freight boxes. I'm currently looking at the famed 44" (really 42") pro box and debating between that and the 26" which actually has more storage for $300. I love trying to find where these things are actually made to see what else they offer and I stumbled upon a great product made by Lincor in China. The supplier even hinted that they make US General without actually saying it.
It comes with three color offerings and drawer latches. But more interesting is the 56" box they offer with a full length front drawer. I would love to say there's an easy solution to get these but from my interaction with the supplier you need to buy them by the 40ft container which is $25k+. I wish we could just talk Harbor Freight into making these changes for a small change in price.
Anyways just sharing what I found because I thought these were interesting, if there were any kind of interest maybe this could go further but for right now I was just killing time.

Well, part of the value added by a retailer is selling the product in smaller quantities and in more convenient locations.

Unless you can get GJ members in a major metro area to go in on a group-buy, you're stuck buying from HF.

I wish HF sold the 44 in Blue

Yes I understand economies of scale, my point was that these small changes would be very welcome improvements to what they offer now and their alleged supplier already offers it. Like many others I find the small flaws on the 56" HF box enough to look for alternatives. The only plus it has is the depth of the drawers compared to the 44". If I ever did decide to jump on this I would see what kind of interest there is on here and maybe with a small local retailer chain.
