    We're trying to negotiate a discount with them for Phlatprinter customers. We'll keep you updated :)

    I just placed an order. I was down to my last 3 sheets. A phlatboyz discount would be great! I buy it by the case as it is to save a few bucks.

    Their case of foam is the same price as rcfoam but the shipping is cheaper. A+ already :)
    Man it would be nice if they gave us discounts too.

    Really?

    The last case bought from rcfoam was $130 vs $119.99 from foamydepot. Shipping from rcfoam was $25 vs $28.55 from this company, so there is not that much difference and in fact the shipping is more from foamydepot than from rcfoam at least to my house.

    There is also a big disclaimer about possible foam damage and not being flat, so we will have to see how the quality compares. It won't be worth saving a few bucks if the quality is not as good.

    You know I was comparing last night and forgot that it was the smaller package of foam where the shipping was cheaper.
    Thanks for the correction.

    Ordered Saturday, arrived Wednesday cut to order. Good quality with only 1 piece that had a slight nick in one edge. Price is comparable with RCfoam when shipping factored in. Whoever comes up with the best discount for us phlatboyz, they will get my next order.

    I mounted my bearing blocks for the belt drive mod a bit differently so I can only cut a 20" width at the moment so I had the 27 x 39" foam cut to 21 x 39". The cuts were free. The price was not bad but could be better.

    You might want to hold off on ordering just yet. A little birdy told me there may be some discounts coming our way soon.

    Competition for our business may be able to save us a few bucks in the near future...
