Default San Diego Area Plastic sources?

Anyone in San Diego know where to get acrylic for the best price? So far the best I've found was in the $240 range for 4x8 sheet of 3/8 (cast). I've called San Diego Plastics, Ridout, & one place in San Marcos all just close to that price). Online the 3/8" is $180, but then there's shipping so I'm not sure what that will add up to.
Anyways, just hoping to benefit from someone else's good price searching skills
Mods- sorry if this is off-topic, feel free to move it wherever....

See if you have a branch of GE Polyshapes locally.

There is a place off of the 5 freeway on Main in Chula Vista called Cal Plastics and Metals. These guys cut me small stuff all the time for cheap, out of scraps, and it seems like their prices are reasonable for full pieces too. I have never been charged a cut fee by them either.
