You could mail it. We mailed several large Rubbermaid tubs with my son's extra clothes that he brought to Massachusetts for the summer and then he had the two of us ride back with him and we needed the room in the car. We just taped it up really good and took it to the post office.We'll be taking SW home and want to put my Owners Locker tote as checked bag. Had anyone done this.TIA
YEs we did with SW and it was no trouble at all. I put dirty laundry in as packing material so things in there wouldn’t jiggle around.
Yes we used zip tiesDid you use the zip ties that come with Owners Locker??. Or did you have to secure it closed some other way?.
Thanks.
I wouldn't use zip ties as the only means of securing it if going as checked airline baggage. If the security screening needs to open it, then likely it won't be as securely closed after that. Not familiar with that particular type of container, but most airlines have size/weight restrictions on checked baggage. If an unusually large size, you might have to pay extra.
Been an OL customer for years, I had no idea we got to keep the bin if we cancel the service.
I wonder if the TSA-approved locks would fit if you were checking it on a plane.

Not sure what a 'TSA-approved' lock it. All checked baggage is x-rayed and if something suspicious shows up inside, they have to open it to see what it contains. My comment related more to the fact that temporary tape/zip-ties etc. would be of little use if security needed to inspect the contents.
