you know Reading is Fundamental. I did not read past the contact information at Pregis and it is clear that you gave me a local location Tharco is one such distributor, and they have locations in Santa Fe Springs, CA (562) 944-6121 and San Lorenzo, CA (510) 276-8600. They quoted me $12.70 per 48x96 sheet...not bad!
San Lorenzo Ca i right down the street from Oakland. I will be calling tomorrow for a quote.
