Some of the advertisers in the Home Shop Machinist Magazine sell small
pieces of various kinds of materials. They appear to be small
businesses which might be willing to ship by your preferred method. I
didn't see any links to them in the web site,

so you may have to order a back issue if you can't find one in a
library. Or you could write or email the magazine and see if they will
recommend a supplier.

Hallo.
sometimes I need plastic raw materials for my projects. The problem is
that in Italy they're difficult to procure in small quantities (an
example: I'd rather not purchasing 20 sqft garolite for my router
mounting plate!).

So sometimes I found McMasterCarr a convenient way: the problem with
them is they are insanely in love with DHL, which (both for direct cost
and income taxes) makes it much less convenient.

So I wonder If you can suggest alternative online retailers dealing this
kind of stuff (and, may be, they will be more willing to ship by USPS or
even surface mail)... or, if I am going too far OT, readdress me to a
more proper NG.

Thank you,
Luciano
