Inland charged me $120.00 for a piece of standard Plexiglas I could have
gotten at Home Depot for a fraction of the cost. I thought I was getting a
special piece of molded plexi, and what I got was standard of the shelf stuff
you can get anywhere. Unfortunately, before I realized my mistake, it was
too late. Live and learn, I will now only utilize Inland only after having
exhausted all avenues, the only thing that can regulate their prices is
competition, the more the better.
