400 sheets is a fair sized order, but not unusual. The material
will be priced by the square foot or 1000 square foot. Why are
you buying it rather than your drywaller? Don't necessarily
assume you will get it for less than a big box store on sale.
Commercial drywall and stud suppliers provide delivery, stocking,
carry the largest selection of lengths, go the extra yard to keep
a job on time, help find strange or specialty items, often offer a
1% or 1 1/2% savings for timely payment, and might buy lunch a
couple of times a year, and provide pencils, ball caps, and
tablets.. These add up to construction site values far greater
than a few cents per square foot one way or the other.

Here is a simple list of commercial supply houses in greater
Chicago from internet:

I am not from there, but I think I recognize the Reinke name. We
have one named Drywall Supply, probably not related. Call them
all, the worst they do is tell you they only work with contracting
companies.
