Standard disclaimer:  I have no interest in Alro other than being a 
satisfied customer

I didn't realize they were so wide spread, but Alro has an outlet about 
20 miles from me up here in Michigan.Their prices, up here are better 
than the local supply.  Although I may purchase 10 stock lengths of 1.5" 
and 2" diameter 6061T6 and DOM steel tube, at times I have called over 
with a relatively small order that I had planned on picking up.  They 
delivered it right to my door.  A small order is not just one piece of 
mast.  I assume they must have had another, larger delivery in the area.

As with large companies with multiple outlets, I assume policies may 
vary between outlets.
