PVC sheets locally ???

[sfsuphysics]

Looking for some PVC sheeting for a new project on the horizon, tried online but shipping of 4x8' sheet will cost $150 then another $50 ontop of that because I'm a residential address (don't get that personally...), most likely this is because 1 sheet takes almost as much effort to transport as 50 sheets, so I don't blame the company. However this would increase the cost 60% just for the shipping. Looked at Tap's online site, they only have 1/4" and I really would like to get my hands on 3/4" at least, haven't tried the store but will when I get some time. Just curious if anyone else had any leads on potential locations?

Call TAP and see what they say. I picked up some 1/8 scraps the other day so they have some stuff on hand but don't know about 3/4" thick.

I'll do that, I was at Tap the other day getting some "patching my old tank" supplies, however looking through the scrap bin I've come to the conclusion I can't tell the difference between HDPE and PVC, as the guy at the counter said what I picked out was not PVC... unfortunately he seemed a little too irritated to show me what would be PVC, so I left it at that and got my stuff and went home.

Call some the the contractor stores and ask if they know where you can get some.

Were you at the El Cerrito store? There's one guy there who I find particularly unhelpful. It's like pulling teeth to get him to give you more than a grunt and a yes/no answer.

Nah, San Francisco store, but who knows maybe he transferred.

Guy in Texas mentioned getting a 4'x4' @ 1' thick for $110 at a local place... Tap is so damn expensive, you'd think they'd be a bit cheaper considering they specialize in plastics.
