What I like about the website is the engineering detail enabling informed decisions about the product you are buying. Oh, and the service is faultless as well!

Excellent, fast delivery and great customer service!
I have placed many bulk orders of Persex from here, all pre-cut to size for my laser cutter. Always packaged very well, and if I have ever had a problem it has been sorted promptly. DX Delivery can be a bit hit and miss, but due to the size of packages ThePlasticShop needs to send, I assume they are slightly limited in the choice of delivery companies to use. Either way, you cannot blame ThePlasticShop for the sometimes substandard service DX produces.

Easy to order and Cutting to boot
Very easy to order and pass on cutting information - better yet this was the only place I found that did down to 0.75mm polycarbonate so perfect for what I needed (curved greenhouse panels) replacing the yellowed, brittle and missing panels in a refurb of a greenhouse.
Arrived quickly and very well packaged. Only shame was I hadn't found them when I was ordering the main panels, it was only when I started searching 1.5mm/1.0mm polycarbonate that they popped up on the search.
