As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under "Comments" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade.Please review our full return and shipping policy here.
Measure Twice, Cut Once
Since custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.
How to Use a Measuring Tape
Extend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you’ll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.
Measure by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark. For example, 1/2" has a bigger mark than 1/4" which has a bigger mark than 1/8". The smallest mark follows at 1/16". Please be aware that some measuring tapes may have even smaller increments.
Features of a Measuring Tape: Sliding End Hook
The sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).
Natural nylon is one of the oldest and most widely used engineered mechanical plastics. Its combination of toughness, dimensional stability, wear resistance, availability, and versatility make it a natural choice for informed engineers looking to improve their project. Nylon has served well in replacing many metals and offers a design choice when noise reduction and long life are important.
Nylon is a tough, stable engineering thermoplastic with a high modulus of elasticity, high strength, good rigidity, dimensional stability, resistance to moisture, solvents and other chemicals.

We experienced a problem with shipping. The problem ended up being with the shipping company but I was impressed how willing interstate plastics was willing to talk with me about it. They didn't brush me off and the issue was taken care of. We will definitely be coming back!

Was assured by someone over the phone that the material was black in color - item received was not black

Shipping was a pain, but the company helped the best they could. We ended up cutting to 5ft lengths for shipping. Not ideal but it worked. Customer service was helpful. UPS is the real problem.

These nylon rods have been great for me so far and I really like the website ordering. I'm curious to find out how long the material will last but it seems to be of solid quality.

The rods arrived very quick and in great condition just like advertised. Thank you again for all you help with my plastic needs and I will be ordering this week some other plastic I need.

This stuff is great! Was packaged very thoroughly and no complaints about condition. Thank you to customer service for their help in finding the right nylon blend.
