I am wondering if anyone has ordered from THIS (http://www.eplastics.com/Plastic/Colored_Plexiglass_Acrylic_Sheet_Transparent) website and if so was the acrylic of good quality?

I should be getting a piece in today from VIPlastic.com they had pretty reasonable prices and good shipping time. I'll wait to comment on the quality of the acrylic though.

Ok I will check them out and wait for your reply on how they are.

Do you have a link? There is vipplastic and plastics and neither look like a supplier of acrylic.

Where are you from? You should be able to find a local plastic shop. I live in Kansas and I live close to at least 3. It will save you some shipping and in some cases it can end up being free if you can live with scrap stock. By scrap I don't mean small fucked up pieces either. A lot of places recycle any cut off pieces less than 2'x2' so you may be in luck depending on what your looking for. Home Depot has some but not very big and only in clear.
