There's a distributor in Northwood, OH.
Anytime I've ordered 1/16th tubing from Online Metals it comes from Washington and is very expensive to ship to New England in a timely manner even though they have a warehouse in Connecticut and several more across the country between here and the west coast.

Like Chris said, Orion is being honest and for some applications for certain teams 6063 will do the job just fine and for less weight than 1/8th. It is inferior and annoying to machine but I remember some seasons on a budget where cheap 6063 available quickly (and locally for teams around CRP) was just what we needed but didn't have.

Thanks for new products Orion. Love the hex roller hub!
