For what it's worth, I bought this one for 32euros in single quantity from here, now it's even cheaper: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/909915769.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dmyoyR0 . If they let buying two different types of boxes that's good: one smd box, and one with bigger compartments for through-hole components is a nice combo.

My go-to small parts storage solution is microcentrifuge tubes, AKA 'eppendorf tubes' - 1,5ml.

They cost next to nothing (sold in bags of 1000, I paid around 25$), their only downside is the conical end, you kinda need a rack for them. However this can be a block of wood or a sheet of acryllic with holes drilled in it.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for, except with a flat base so they sit upright, just like the ones in the WE development kit with an attached lid.

PlainName:
Aliexpress have plenty. For instance:

1.8ml vials in a pack

Yes, but with the hinged lid would be perfect, like this:

5ml is about the size I like, trying to find on aliexpress.
Yes, I know, I'm being a bit picky, lol.
