Joe, UPS will ship 7.5 ft lengths but the carton is subject to their double
oversize charges. That basically means you pay as if the carton weighs 70
pounds.
You are correct in that the shipping charges exceed the material cost but
it can be done.

I know that I have tried this before here but I still don't have a fix. I
need some 5/8 inch o.d aluminum tubing in the 7 1/2 foot lengths range. I
cannot find it anywhere in the northeast Florida/southeast Georgia area
(which I find hard to believe in the first place). Trying to get it shipped
doesn't seem do able because the shipping charges far exceed the cost of the
aluminum ( ups wont ship anything over 6 feet long). Does anyone have a
suggestion? I want to fix these Telrex 6m624's to get them in the air before
the summer season gets here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Joe
