Ordered my coroplast!

[Sierra]

Today I just ordered two 4x8 sheets of coroplast for my 2x4 cage with a 1x2 loft. I have almost enough for the cage with just one sheet, but I wanted to make other things with the coroplast anyhow, so I just went ahead and ordered two sheets. I got it in light blue and the woman said it would be in next Wednesday, I can't wait! She said it would be $30+tax all together, does anyone know if this is a reasonable price or not? It's the only place here in town or near me, so it doesn't really matter, he he.

no it is a good price. My hubby and I got coroplast for $16.00 at kinkos. The size we got was a 4x8. and the 4x6 is 10.00.

 

[Piglet]

Yes, it is expensive, but doesn't matter. Your pigs will have a wonderful cage soon!

 

[Sierra]

Well, not much else option we have around here, but hey, it didn't sound too bad to me, making the whole cage for $70, and the fact that it is HUGE is great!

 

[tashagurl]

Thats awesome. I just got my cubes today. They were on sale at Target for 10$. I still have to get cloroplast though. Im sooo happy I finaly got my cubes!

Ok um do you mean $30 for both sheets or one? If it is for both that is a good price. If it is only for 1 they ripped you off, but piggies are worth it!

Angeldjcavies- Like the Fed Ex Kinkos? I didn't know they sold coro! There is a ton of Kinkos near me. If we are talking about the same place lol!

 

[cinn&sprinslave]

Ok so I went to Fed Ex Kinkos website and found this there is no coroplast listed under materials though.
(broken link removed)

I am going to call or email them though. And see how much it is. Because I will get coroplast from them if it is cheaper, than my local sign store. The Local Sign store near me gave me free coroplast yesterday. 4ft x 4ft. But they charge too much it seems like for an 8x4 sheet. They charge $20 for one. I really hope Fed Ex kinkos carries coro because I am going to get some from there.

 

[AngelsCavies]

yeah they do. Not all Kinkos have them call in and they can tell you which local fed ex kinkos carries them. I have 2 places by me that carries them. One is about 20 min drive and the other is about 45 min drive.

 

[Sierra]

$30 for the both of them, so $15 each.

 

[mncavylover]

That's exactly the price I paid for mine: one red sheet and one light blue sheet. You're fine, that's a fair price.

 

[Furkidsmommy]

Ok not impressed with Kinkos. I called my local store and they have coroplast but they wanted $10 per sq ft, that would be $320 for the sheet.

 

[Sierra]

That's outrageous!

 

[mncavylover]

Wow, maybe they thought you wanted it printed?

 

[Furkidsmommy]

No I told the guy that I just wanted to buy a plain 8 x 4 sheet, uncut as is. He said he would have to charge the same price as if it were a sign. Seems really silly, how can you justify that price for a sign, let alone the raw materials.

 

[Cocoa Puff]

That's really outrageous. I got mine for $6.00 for a 4x8 sheet. The guy even cut it for me for free.

 

[cinn&sprinslave]

I haven't called My Kinkos yet.
But these are the prices I can get-
$16 cut and scored 4x8 sheet (a little bit of a drive and hours are a pain)
$6.95-$9.00 8x4 sheet (a long long drive). When the white is on sale it is only $6.95
$20 for a 4x8 sheet, sign company right next to my house. 5 mins away. They give me free coroplast if they have extra, or messed up. and I can pick up when ever.
$10 8x4 sheet white only.


I usually go to the one by my house. The last time I bought coro from them they gave me a free 4ftx4ft peice.

 

[RubyPiggie2]

Whenever you ask them if they will cut and score it for you, you have to give them the EXACT measurements, right? I didn't know they would score it for you...

 

[mncavylover]

Yes, you will. Just make sure they are the right ones! It's easy just to do it yourself anyhow.

 

[RubyPiggie2]

Lol, of course... I didn't know they would score it though as I said earlier- it is quite easier though just to score it yourself. Well, I'm off to make two 2x3's.. later
Oh yeah, we got Mr.Stripe! I'll post pigtures tonight!

 

[mncavylover]

That's awesome! Please do post photos, I'm waiting anxiously!
