A container (10) for transporting articles, including a base (20), a plurality of wall components (12, 14, 16, 18) coupled to the base (20) for defining a storage compartment, the wall components (12, 14, 16, 18) being collapsible so as to enable said container (10) to be placed in a collapsed condition, a base post (90) projecting upwardly at each corner of the container (10), the base post (90) projecting upwardly from the base and having a free end with an aperture (not shown) at its upper portion; a container foot (30) at each corner below each of the base posts (90), each foot (30) having a generally horizontal abutment surface (not shown), a downwardly projecting pin (not shown), and an angled abutment surface (98) extending downwardly at an angle from the vertical, and wherein a container (10) when in an erect article transporting condition is able to be stacked on another like container (10'), one above the other, by locating each foot (30) of the said container (10) upon the wall components of said like container (10') so that the generally horizontal abutment surface (not shown) is located on a part of the wall components (12, 14, 16, 18) and where the angled abutment surface (not shown) prevents the container (10) from sliding off the wall components (90), and when in a collapsed condition said container (10) can be stacked upon said like container (10') by locating the generally horizontal abutment surface (not shown) of each foot (30) on a corresponding base post (90) with the pin (not shown) of each foot (30) projecting into the aperture (104) of the base post (90) to thereby prevent the like container (10') from sliding off the said container (10).
