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

I have placed one order with OnlineMetals so far, for our 2014 summer practice chassis. The order included both C-channel and angle (all aluminum). The C-channel and angle were shipped separately from different locations, and the experience of the two half orders was like night and day. The angle aluminum (far heavier package) came in a 3" inside diameter tube (from Dallas TX?), and it arrived at the house utterly intact. This tube went to our build space, as its inside diameter was perfect to hold a tennis ball for our summer game. The C-channel came in a 2" inside diameter tube from Orlando, FL (I still have this tube in my garage, so I'm sure of the location), and one end of the tube had been blown out in shipping. I haven't seen very much torn strapping tape, but more than half of what I've seen was on that shipment. The metal was all there (it was strapping-taped together), but there was no paperwork inside, as especially contrasted with some rather extensive batch-specific paperwork on the aluminum from Dallas.
