They seem to be really nice people as well. The sales person I've been talking to for the last week has been quite helpful to me. I wanted only about 6' of some barstock last night, and he told me that I'd be losing money by having a 12' piece cut into only 6', and it'd be cheaper for me to just buy all 12'. Most places would be happy to charge you more and give you less, I'm sure. We ordered it at 4:30 PM yesterday, and had it by 7 AM this morning. Fantastic service.

I'm not sure how well they will work out for you if you're buying small quantities, but their prices have been fantastic for full lengths of tubing and solids.
