Where's the 2 mil coro in northern Alberta?

Does anyone know of a good supplier of 2 mil coro in Northern Alberta (Edmonton or further north)? Local sign shops want $40.00+ per sheet to bring it in and 2-6 weeks wait time.

failing that, contact coroplast directly via email and ask who sells it near where you are

to be honest, I buy mine at a wholesaler who also sells to the public. 2mm, 4mm, 6mm (which I don't use).

Which ever "big box" is close to you, they might just "piggy back" a 2 mm order onto their regular order for you (just phrase it that way when you ask).

Make it clear that you don't want them to make a "special" order just for you, just to add it to their regular order when they place it.

Get to know the dept manager, buy him/her a coffee/donut. THEN ask "oh by the way, could you add a few items onto your regular order for me".

Recon,
it's too bad we're at opposite ends of the province, otherwise I'd buy a few sheets from you.
