Looking for online stores that will ship PETG to a California address.

New to 3d printing and just ordered my first printer, a Prusa Mini+. I tried to purchase Sunlu PETG on Amazon, but Amazon will not ship it to a California address. If the online store is not in the US then I assume the store would have to be willing not to disclose to customs the filament as PETG.

I live in California and I have been buying my PETG directly from Prusa. Takes about 3 days to get here.

Interesting. They seem to sell ONLY PETG. Cheap prices though.

They're in Los Angeles County; I'm in Los Angeles County.

  • 2:59PM Placed an order and received email confirmation.
  • 3:10PM Received email from them with tracking number.
  • 3:19PM UPS sent me an email saying my package will be arriving tomorrow.

Won't be able to test it until my Mini+ arrives in 4 weeks. 😀 KEKW
All orders ship free. Thanks JSW!

RE: Looking for online stores that will ship PETG to a California address.

Amazon will ship PETG to California - Sunlo will not.  I asked Amazon about that a couple of years back and they pointed to Sunlu.

I have purchased Hatchbox PETG from Amazon (having what I want in stock is always a problem) and eSun PETG with no problems at all and I live in SoCal.

I prefer the Hatchbox but eSun is a close second and would have tried Sunlo albeit the problem with not shipping to California.

Possibly stupid question here?  Why don't they want to ship PETg to California?  Some kind of regulations?

Too bad, Sunlu is good stuff.  Have you tried to order it from AliExpress?

Matterhackers is also located in California, southern LA area, I assume Orange County.  So they should not have any problems shipping PETG.

I would guess Sunlu doesn't want to put the California prop 65 warning on their packaging.

@jsw

I never pursued the matter with Sunlo so no idea.  On the other hand, there are a fair number of companies that won't come to California and my guess they don't want to deal with political and legal environment here.

Hey! Thanks for the AliExpress tip on SunLo. When my supplies start to run low I will give that a try as well as Matter hackers.

I'll second MatterHackers. They also have free shipping that manages to be faster than Amazon, even out to New England.

Not able to send you a message yet so while I wait for my Mini+ to arrive here's what came from California Filament in addition to the packing list. Images from left to right: boxed, black&white, beige&glowdark, examples of other colors.

RE: Looking for online stores that will ship PETG to a California address.

Thanks, I will definitely keep that vendor in mind.

I'm usually hesitant to order unknown brands of filaments from unknown suppliers, but when someone has good luck with them I will definitely consider ordering from them, assuming they have what I want, of course.

Also, as an aside, on this forum I think it's best to make postings in public, particularly if you think that others will be interested.

California filament is a quality vendor if you need PETG.

They sell filament at the Micro Center in Tustin(Orange County). They have PLA, ABS, PETG, and TPU in many different colors. Maybe more types. Those are just the ones I can remember.

California filament has a special - 20% off if you order 3 rolls.  Hook, line, and sinker.  I am caught.
