milk crates and rollers

I tried posting this on misc.consumers and didn't get any replies.
Maybe this is a better place to ask.

I used to buy my plastic milk crates from Staples. I also bought rollers
for them there. I went to Staples today to get some more rollers and,
for the first time in years, saw no milk crates and the staff said they
don't have milk crates or rollers any more.

Is this a temporary change? If not, where does one get the milk crates
and rollers now?

try google, I got some hits for the crates, but not sure regarding
what type of rolers (Size, color and price) you're after.

I'm referring to the stackable milk crates. I don't really need the crates,
just the optional rollers that were available for them. At the time I bought
the crates, they were on sale for something like 3 for $5. Then they went
up to something like $3 each. I know that even Staples has sold milk
crates of different sizes, but the rollers probably fit all sizes.

I've seen he milk crates in office max and at k-mart. You might try one of
those places.

Yes, that is exactly it. Thanks for your help. I guess I got the wrong
information from the sales personnel at the store.
