Harbor Sales in maryland is where I order most of my avery. www.harborsales.net May be a bit farther from you than you'd like, but they ship the same day (I think til about 4) and you can go to their website to see exactly what is in stock, what will take a couple days for them to get. I have never (knock on wood) found a color that they didn't have. Couple of times, they didn't have a weird color in 24" but I could use the 15" that they did have. If only I could get 4x8s by UPS.... Oh, and if they'd start carrying one-shot.

I have had the absolutely most phenominal service from Earl Mich Co. (www.earlmich.com) in Chicago. Ask for Debbie 1-800-MICH USA, ext. 13. Please mention my name if you call.
Fill rate and customer service has been better than all 3 of my local vinyl suppliers combined, seriously...

Reich Supply in Utica NY. gives great service and same day shipping. Your area, will probably be next day service. Phone 800 338-3322. Ask for Wes and tell them Diane Balch referred you. Tell Neil Reich that you log onto the Letterhead.com web site. I am trying to get them to be a merchant.

Couldn't remember what the amount was for harbor to ship free, checked and it's $50.
I use to buy from Premier in Western PA. They've since become part of VSS that Mike suggested. I've tried dealing with them a few times and that's why Harbor is my #1 supplier of vinyl.

Yup, Kissy, I especially hated their weekly phone calls bugging me to buy crap. I won't go into details, but we had a falling out over the Mars meet. Pioneer Supply, based in Pittsburgh AND New Jersey, sells Avery. They have a $75 minimum order. The NJ # is 856-661-8020. I believe I have also had it drop-shipped thru N Glantz, there is one in NJ too & their # is 973-374-9830. Good Luck. Love...Jill

I dont use alot of vinyl but I have made many purchases thru Beacon Graphics in Somerville, NJ. They sell Avery Vinyl, Rapid Tac and One Shot paints. So far they have done me very well, I cannot say that I am sure about their prices so much as I prefer service over price more than anything else. I have used a few of the other vendors for items that I coudl not get from Beacon or when I needed something they had and added on the item Beacon might have normally been my supplier for that item just to simplify my ordering.
Beacon has never let me down YET.

I think Avery may be going thru some growing pains.
I've used the product line from back when it was Spar-Cal but now the quality control seems to have gone down hill. As an Edge2 user, I have had several problems with the A8 product line and as they only have one person to handle tech with A8 getting to the problem has been difficult.
I'd guess that a distributor who could not get tech support and could not guarantee a certain level of quality, just might have to look some where else. I have. I didn't want to. I'd go back in heart beat if things were different, but I have gone to another brand.
