I came here recently because I was working on a project, and was hoping they could do some cutting for me. They let me know over the phone they needed to see the items so I went ahead and took it in. They did tell me up front that they usually do not work on things that were not purchased from their store, but that they would look at it and review. When I went in, all of the staff were so nice, and made me feel welcome. Unfortunately they were not able to do the cutting I needed, but they gave me some great advice on how to do it myself, which was always my backup plan. They made me feel more confident about going for it, and with the tips they gave, I was able to complete it on my own. I did get a chance to browse the store a little while I was waiting, and they have some really nice home decor, which I didn't expect. I saw things like wine glasses, candy dishes, and a multitude of other items. When I have more time I would love to go back and check it out some more. read more

Very overpriced, especially if you only want one cut your paying over $20. Not the best customer service either, seems like they don't care if they get your business. read more

Ten days before simple, in stock item was shipped, from order date, according to sales rep., who could not explain why.

Ordered large twin panels to accomodate a roof for our enclosed swimming pool which is 40X28. We worked with James on the phone, who did an excellent job. The truck delievered our product on time. The panels were boxed up in wood to protect them. We finished our roof and it looks beautiful. EPlastics were excellent to work with and I would recommend them. read more

I've been a customer of theirs for well over 20 years. I still call them Ridout even though the name changed a while back. I get reliable service and a great selection every time. Often I can solve some of my simpler problems with the items for sale in the discard/irregular bin out front. Sometimes if I'm in the area I stop in just to look around. You never know what you're going to find. read more

Exceptional service from Daniel. He went beyond helpful at accommodating me. His thoroughness in making sure my unique project was done accurately and in a short time is greatly appreciated. read more

I had to have some large acrylic sheets custom cut for a client. A friend recommended this place a few years ago. Now, this is our go to place for all projects that require any custom clear or colored plastic or acrylic. The place is amazing they offer anything plastic, from chairs to podiums. The selection is amazing and the service and attention to detail is great. I highly reccomend this place of business. read more

They cut some 1/4" plexiglass sheets for me that I bought on Amazon and only charged around $20 for the labor. Cutting them myself was proving challenging and producing low-quality cuts, so letting these pros handle the job was the right call. Most places I called wouldn't help me for various reasons, but now I know where to go! read more

serious problems when it comes to them replacing product according to warranty. the product is way too expensive to have to fight for what was promised. read more

I'm not a yelper. I actually think it's the worst reviewal platform as the majority of people are on here to tear down businesses. E plastics is awesome. George has been working here fir thirty years. He helped me with a screen for my boat. The screen was ready next day. It was affordable and excellent quality. Thank you George. The world needs more people like you read more

I have used ePlastics for many kinds of creative projects. Most recently, I built a privacy wall for my backyard using composite plastic screens. The panels were too tall and I needed them cut a few inches. ePlastics was able to cut them down to the exact size I needed. The project turned out great! read more

Ordered a custom cut sheet that came very well protected on the outside, unfortunately the sheet was covered with scratches. No protective film on it at all. Now my art installation is behind schedule. First time buyer and I will choose to use another vendor next time. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

I needed two custom cut sheets of plexiglass and couldn't find anyone who would cut them locally. The price was very reasonable, for both the plexiglass and the cutting, but where this company shined was when the first pieces were damaged in shipping. The woman I dealt with was friendly and thorough and made the claims process easy. I sent the pictures they asked for and received replacement pieces in three days. They were just wonderful! read more

Huge shout out to Kevin and to the team at e plastics for always having good stock on inventory and for giving me quality customer service. I love the selection of the different types of thicknesses and materials that are available as I own a fabrication shop and I have specific applications that I need material for. Whether you are a stay at home mom crafting or you are a full on fabrication shop the plastics is a great choice in San Diego to come to. Patrick from SD Auto read more

Took a day off (the Friday before July 4th) of their posted schedule with no update on Yelp and no change to their voicemail message "all of our operators are assisting other customers", no, all of your operators are at the beach. Guess they thought nobody was working today, but we are making COVID masks with your supplies every day this weekend. You owe me 2 gallons of gas. read more

i had some kitchen fluorescent covers that were yellowed, cracked - just aged . ePlastics got me replacements at a great price (which i appreciated after having tried to cut my own plastic sheet with bad results - even the young man at Home Depot couldn't manage a good cut without cracking the sheet). it gives one an appreciation when you try and do it yourself without experience. ePlastics has more than experience - they have Expertise! the covers came and fit right in. nothing like a professional job to satisfy one's job needs!! very good!! read more

I had a problem with birds resting on my spillway from my elevated spa into my swimming pool. They would leave a huge mess of droppings on the spillway and in the pool. Eplastics did an amazing job fabricating a spillway cover. George Williams helped me select the best material. They cut the cover and the elevated feet, drilled and counter sunk the top and feet and all I had to do was create a template and put the final project together. My THANKS to everyone at Eplastics, you guys ROCK. The spillway cover looks perfect and NO more dirty birds. I can't say enough about this business so nice and helpful and the execution was PERFECT. read more

Terrible customer service. I reached out to E-Plastics via email inquiring about 3 cut pieces of acrylic mirror for home backsplash, I received an email response from Kevin asking for exact measurements, name and number for a quote. I sent him exact measurements of 3 large pieces and 2 smaller pieces along with name/number... I never heard from him again. The next week I called E-Plastics and spoke with someone again specifically about multiple pieces of 1050 grey acrylic mirror, he said I would have to purchase the entire 48"x96" sheet at $400 and then have the pieces cut and pay for cuts... I said "that's fine no problem" I told him I sent Kevin all exact measurements... at that point he didn't want to help and said "I will just send you to Kevin's voicemail" as Kevin was on another line. I left Kevin a message with name, number and exact measurements again and refered to my email... absolutely nothing, never heard from him again and waited 3 more days I am always polite and respectful, always please and thank you, now a week and a half into this and absolutely no reply from E-Plastics... I turned to Professional Plastics and within 24 hours my order is in had a quote within hours... 1050 tinted acrylic mirror, all 5 pieces, tax and delivery to Phoenix $391 It might not have been a big dollar order but I did find a professional great co to deal with. Kevin your poor excuse for an employee, I know selling plastic isn't a glamorous job but take a little pride in what you do, get some integrity. I appreciate your response John. read more

My 1st and last time to e plastics. This place is terrible! Everything was going fine until Reynaido messed up the measurements on the order. I should have noticed it but I didn't ,my mistake.. I've never bought bulk plastics before and put my trust in them. I bought a 4 by 8 sheet of Gray acrylic. I asked them to cut 4, 1ft by 8ft sheets and take one and a 1/2 inches off of the ends on 2 pieces. After Reynaido told me we have to allow for tolerances from the blade I told him to take 1in off of 2 ends. To make a long story short, they cut 1" off of the width instead of the length which are the ends. After spending $359 they said they would fix the problem if I paid them another $121!!! Reynaido admitted that the mistake was made due to the tolerances of the blade. I would never recommend this place to anyone!! read more

Highly recommend! Our company worked with Jeff Roberts. Jeff was outstanding in getting us an incredibly quick turn around. Great service and communication thanks to Jeff! We will use them again! read more

I never knew this place existed. If you ever wanted an enormous champagne flute or lucite serving tray you have found your place. I am giving it 2 stars because it has hard to find items. The rest is negative. They could have given a s*** that I had walked into their store. Many prices were not visible or too high for me to see (i'm 5'2") and then the prices I did see were OMG expensive. They did have a Christmas decoration section that was 50% off and had affordable unusual items. Factor that with the fact that they are unbreakable and you had yourself a deal. I walked out without buying a thing, not because I didn't see things I liked, but the attitude from the staff there made it uncomfortable to be there. read more

Horrible. Ordered a basic black piece of plastic. Asked for 'industrial grade' for strength/thickness to be sturdy. They sent me this nasty scratched piece. When I called them back, sales rep Daniel said 'you asked for industrial grade, all industrial grade pieces are scratched...if you didn't want it scratched you should have said so before ordering.' Will not refund or replace. STAY AWAY - an awful experience. Wasted my time and $130. read more

They exude this overall feeling of "you don't matter to us" to every customer. It permeates every transaction I've ever had, and those of the other customers that I've observed. A company-wide problem like this just has to start at the top and work it's way down. There's no way responsible management would ever let this continue if it wasn't guilty of encouraging/tolerating it. When you go to the counter, rest assured, you're bothering someone and they will LET YOU KNOW. I used to think they looked down on smaller, private orders but then I placed some larger orders for my company and you'd think a few thousand dollars would suddenly make you finally "good enough" to be treated nicely but nope, you'd be wrong. When I asked for a product they had on the product display shelf ( clear dome), I was told they don't make those. ( Well what's it there for then? ) They pawned my issue off on any vendor they could think of. After two requests for help Pete said to e-mail him with the info. I've e-mailed him several times and never gotten an answer once. I have bought scrap before only to have them tell me they won't cut it because it's scrap. ( But it's huge... And I'm the customer, and I'm paying for the cuts? ) I've brought scrap to the counter only to be told "Oh, you don't want that. It's really expensive." He doesn't even know what I'm going to use it for, or who I am, or how much I have to spend. Already they're telling me "no" and I haven't even gotten a word out. Why was it in the scrap bin then? If you ask to talk to a manager all you get is another employee who approached the counter with a real "now what?" look on their face. I guess they're used to fielding a lot of complaints and instead of being a better company, have just gotten used to putting up with customer complaints. Shop at Regal Piedmont Plastics by Miramar Road instead. Fast, friendly service. I have a new business to buy from. Yay! read more

Monday through Friday only, but will-call seems pretty fast. Prices for Lexan products are 1/2 what major "general" stores are. Staff is helpful, albeit reserved when making recommendations. Will call pointed out a few flaws in my plan, and prompted me to review a few points in detail. Quick service and decent prices over all. read more

Got exactly what I needed! So easy and fast! The measurements were good and price wasn't bad

We attempted to order a product on line. We were very precise as to the size and length. The day after ordering we got an email (obviously from someone who didn't look carefully at our order) that said they had to double the size of our ordered product and, consequently, double the price. They had my phone number but never called me and would only allow me to reply via email vs. a phone call. Needless to say, I took my business elsewhere. read more

I made an shipping selection error (eCommerce site is not well done) while placing order and immediately called and spoke to a customer service rep to rectify. She told me that if I responded to the confirmation email accepting the additional shipping charges, they would process the order. That was 6 days ago, and when I called to check status today they informed me that the order was on hold due to the problem that I called about last week and that it was my fault. Thanks guys, I know it was my fault... that's why I called and emailed last week. Bad customer service, do not recommend. read more

Needing some small plastic to extend my air conditioner, home depot and lowes was extremely expensive for a small piece of plastic. The prices here are pretty expensive as well, but they have a pretty good clearance bin right up front that goes for $2 per pound. They don't come cut, so the sizes are whatever you can find there. They charge $20 for 9 cuts, so that's pretty expensive. If you can score on a size you're looking for and can cut it yourself, then this is a good place for the clearance bin. read more

I stumbled across EPlastics on a google search looking for custom cut acrylic/plexiglass. I emailed the company and they responded rather quickly (a few hours). I got my order in, paid over the phone and my tiles were ready for pick up the next day! I don't remember who I spoke to, but everyone I encountered was helpful! Highly recommend! read more

Limited shipping options, customer service was rude almost defiant when discussing this. Then when product did finally arrive it was warped like an old pool cue. Didn't even know it was possible for this material to take a set. Won't use them again, lots of other options out there. read more

Worst customer service ever! Tried to order PVC sheets .6 inch thickness and received .06 after a lengthy return process I was informed that I was responsible for shipping both ways! So I was issued a refund of $188.00 for what was originally a $652.81 purchase had I known I would have saved money and kept it! They wouldn't even help me out with shipping to get what I wanted in the first place. Buyer beware Eplastics is a joke! I hope this helps someone else save some hard earned money. read more

Such a great company! I needed to order a sheet of plastic in a specific size to replace a refrigerator shelf, and have never had to order in item like this before. I couldn't really find what I was looking for on their website so I called them, and they answered the phone immediately, and the customer service rep found what I needed right away, and found the lowest price. Then he emailed me the info. I asked a few different questions via email as I was checking out and he responded to each of them immediately! Very helpful. Then, when my order was submitted, I got an email from the company asking about specifications and confirming if they should cut it down to the exact amount or if a little smaller would be acceptable. Then they sent it on time, and it fit perfectly! I don't usually review places but this website was so exceptional at responding to me and helping me out that I felt I needed to share! read more

Awful service.. Went in to order 2 fridge panels, was told that I could just order one and it would match.. Well, it didn't, and because of their bad advice I had to pay almost $50 extra and wait for the cutting again. I begged for mercy, some help with the price, anything.. like talking to a brick wall. I inherited grandma's giant clam shell, which is irreplaceable. I've always wanted a fancy acrylic bracket to wall hang it.. When I described it to the guy, he said it would be too expensive for me. I asked again, similar response.. Is that because I was wearing shorts and a t shirt that day? Not sure.. Gosh I was prepared to invest maybe a couple thousand dollars on this.. It would behoove them to not judge their customer's pocketbooks by their own. AVOID! read more

After we placed the order online and shipping was only $19.00 for a less than 5 lbs piece of plastic they emailed us stating that shipping is $181.00 not $19.00 Watch out for this company !!!!!! read more

This place is great. I love the scrap bin just outside the front door. I buy all of my eggcrate, and most of my acrylic from this place. They yield precise, smooth edges when cutting acrylic, and I like the variety of plastics... UV coated, colored, etc... Keep that scrap bin out guys! read more

Boy I sure wish there were more plastic shops to choose from in San Diego. I've been here 3-4 times, and have never been treated as if they care about my biz from the front counter guys. The prices are VERY steep compared to online and San Diego Plastics in Chula Vista. Much of the sheet acrylic displayed they don't have in stock and ordering time can be long. I tried dealing with the custom cutting dept. once, and gave up after sending in specs and not hearing anything back for over a week. Congrats Rid Out, you have no competition so you'll stay in business. read more

Maybe it's me--but I have been to this store 3 times for estimates on custom cut sheets of acrylic for small projects and estimates are always significantly higher than the total cost ordering online at Tap Plastics even with shipping and oversize costs. I haven't had overwhelmingly great or bad service there, but I always try to fill my orders locally if I can -- but this store hasn't been any help to me so far. Maybe this place is geared towards enormous bulk orders or something. For the typical homeowner I can't find a use for them with their prices for what I've looked for. Kind of a shame but am not sure I need to bother giving a 4th try to the place--it's just seems too expensive. read more

This review is for their online store. I placed an order for two types of display cases--(2) of one and (3) of another. I received an email on 7/28 stating that my order was being processed. Yay. On 7/30, I received two emails--one stating that (5) items were shipping. Then I got another email that stated only (2) items were shipping. I should have probably looked into this a lot more, but opted to just let it go and attribute to their website not being the greatest. My order ended up coming in on 7/31--"yay, that was quick". Upon opening the box, I realized that they only shipped two items (see above) and the other three items were on backorder. I received NO email stating the items were backordered--just two confusing emails stating what would be shipped (see above). Since the trade show these items were going to be used at was coming up, I decided to cancel the rest of the order. On 8/4 I gave them a call to cancel the rest of the order. I was told that I would receive a shipping notice (because that's how awesome their website/inventory system is) then a cancellation notice. I also requested an updated invoice which they also promised would come. Fast forward to 8/6, no email, no updated invoice, and those two emails I failed to mention earlier that I sent to them--NO REPLY! I gave them a call again today, and the person I talked to told me he would make note of the cancellation on the account. Make note--what does that even mean--please just cancel it. I am dumbfounded at the difficulty they have to go through to cancel part of my order. I am not going to plan the guy/gal on the phone. They're just doing their job and are relatively nice. However, the people who are responsible for constructing that horrid ordering process from the website to the actual process the workers follow--need to rethink the process. It is terrible and I am sure I am going to have to get back on the phone with them tomorrow or the next day to clear this up. It's a waste of everyone's time. In terms of product, the two large display cases I did receive were good. Will I order from them again? If I am able to plan six months in advance, sure! One day to order. Five months to figure out the order on their end and one day to receive the order. read more

I can't believe these guys are still in business. I had several business projects that required custom pieces made that would far exceed their minimum requirements. I called to make an appointment and was told to just come in, but was then kept waiting for half an hour to see a sales person. When we finally sat down to work on the designs, costs etc the sales guy was enthusiastic and great, he said he would get back to me with prices within a day or so since part of the project had a short lead-time. I never heard back from him, I e-mailed him 5 days later to ask what the progress was and had no response. I called him the following day, he seemed confused and said he would have to find the paperwork and call me back. This was about 6 weeks ago and still no return call! Really a pity because I still have the other projects and was hoping to keep the business in the San Diego economy, but am going to have to search farther afield for a reliable service provider. read more

I remember when me & my bestfriend would come here years ago! Glad it's still around =) Not that I need this...but I do find it awesome that they carry Lexan Lexguard Bullet Resistant Sheets and Lexguard and Hygard Bullet Resistant Sheets...FUN STUFF read more
