Re: OnlineMetals now stocking 6061 1/16'' 2''x1'' tubing

So we have used Online metals and love them - very easy to order and reliably received next day.

Also as East Coast team had been looking for a 0.062"x 1"x2" option - we have used Vexpro Versaframe past two years - a great product (particularly if it is hard to locate holes...) but expensive and seemed we could go to 0.062" vs. 0.1" for our needs.

So we bought the 1x2x0.062 bundle of this through Adam which was roughly 2/3rds cost vs Online (after shipping) and roughly 1/2 of the versaframe - but required order of 32x5' pieces - more than we need - but teaming with other local team made this very viable and cheaper. roughly week for delivery (From CA to CT). Delivered today and looks great. I hold no stock in Adam's company.

We will remain loyal customers of Online for other shapes, and for their rapid turn time - particularly during build.

To be clear, this is just 973 selling tubing as a fundraiser; I don't make anything personally off of it.

Glad you're happy with the tubing!

Re: OnlineMetals now stocking 6061 1/16'' 2''x1'' tubing

If I have OnlineMetals deliver to my house, will the delivery be in a box or will it be on the back of a truck? I would be ordering 5' or shorter pieces.

Whenever I have ordered from Online Metals to my house or business, tubing shows up in a cardboard tube (long, short, thin, or fat tube depending on the size and quantity you ordered) and flat sheet comes wrapped in cardboard and plastic.
