At Home Depot:
They Don't fit tight in the Rubbermaid upright strips.
You are supposed to inset the shelf bracket into the two slots in the upright, then hammer down so it wedges into the slots. NOT.

These Brackets just drop down in the slots in a sloppy, loose fit and wobble side to side.
Not to mention that they do not supply screws for the uprights.
Tried to find the right size and head color of these screws at HD. No way.

I checked the brand of those in another room and they are made by "Real Organized" carried by Lowes, so tomorrow it's off to Lowes.

Just a thought if you shop for these shelving parts. Hope it helps.
