Re: sterling acrylics beware

Yeah but I have heard many people have gotten acrylics that didn't fit the beds properly from Loop. Why can't there be a company who can get the size correct and offer a quality product?

That is the first negative thing I have heard of Sterling.

Re: sterling acrylics beware

I stopped using Sterling about a year ago. Felt their customer service was failing. Main thing I look for is service,there is always another place to go for product.Not surprised others are having issues.

If they are given the correct measurements, there would be no problem.

Re: sterling acrylics beware

I've used them all. They all screw up. Doesn't matter what you do or say. Suncorp is still my fav. Then loop.

Re: sterling acrylics beware

I have personally met the people at loop several times and they are great people who back up thier product they are hard working also. I have also done business with Suncorp since loop does not have a machine for bends in acrylics for certain types. I agree with Engfant they all with be off every now and then. I have had to sand acrylics down many times.

Re: sterling acrylics beware

By the way, I just swapped two bottom acrylics around. I am not sure who the prior owner ordered from, they were out of Chicago, that he know. He said it was not Loop or SunCorp or any other mentioned here.

Anyway, Bed 1 has an ETS sheet. Bed 3 has one of these replacements. It does not fit. Its is thicker, but spidering like crazy. Also it had a gold/yellow tone as you look at it compared to the ORIGINAL (6000 hours) ETS sheet. These are total crap. I think I am going to have him find the original invoice. He already had them all replaced one from this company since the first batch fell apart REALLY fast.
