I've never actually bought them from ASDA, that's just what came up when I was searching for the exact boxes! In the past I have bought 3-packs of the longer boxes online from Wilko and possibly also Ryman's, also both UK retailers. I also used to get the shorter boxes from a general corner shop near where I used to live, and he would get them for me 10 at a time from the wholesalers and even deliver them for me.
After the house move, and the storage repatriation, and a bit of rationalisation, I have quite a few of the shorter boxes spare now, with 2 broken ones stacked up outside the garage, which have now filled up almost completely with rainwater!!
Here are hopefully links to the manufacturer's pages ("Whatmore") which everyone can see:

In this post, you can see how 2 go side by side on the shelving I have:

I stick to these specific boxes because they fit exactly the shelves with the depth I use, some other types of plastic box are slightly taller and don't fit with the lid on. There are still a handful of these boxes to be replaced by some of the spare Whatmore boxes.
And in this post you can see the contents of a shorter box, big enough to hold Master 128, plinth, and LV-ROM player, all standing on end:
