What qualifies
- The quote is in writing and comes from a business in the United States.
- It's for the same parts: the same shapes and sizes, quantity, material (cast or extruded, color), thickness, and finish (edges, holes, engraving, bends).
- It's itemized enough to show what's included.
- It has the same or a longer lead time than ours. A standard-lead quote is compared with our standard lead time, not our rush.
- It's dated within the last 30 days and still valid.
- You send it before you place your order with us.
If the other quote leaves something out, such as edge polishing, film removal, or shipping, we'll compare like with like and tell you what's different.
What doesn't qualify
- Clearance, sale, or remnant stock. Offcuts and one-time sale prices aren't the same as cutting new sheet to order.
- Quotes without itemized details, such as a lump sum with no sizes, thickness, or material listed, because we can't tell whether it's the same job.
- Finished goods from marketplace sellers, such as ready-made signs, stands, or frames listed on online marketplaces. We price custom parts made to your drawing, not mass-produced products.
- Quotes from outside the US, or prices that require you to buy other products.
- Orders already placed. Send the other quote first and we'll beat it on that order.
Before you shop around
Our prices are online and instant, so you can compare without waiting. Try a few options in the calculator too: clear extruded instead of cast, a thinner sheet, or fewer decorative holes can lower the price more than any discount. What sets the price of laser cutting explains the main factors, and the acrylic sheet guide helps you choose a material that suits the job without overpaying.
