[TowerTalk] aluminium tubing source

[charlie carroll]

Just a word of caution regarding the shipping of six-foot lengths of 
tubing from DX Engineering.  Buried in the "fine print" on their web 
page is the following....  Oversize items: A special handling surcharge 
per item applies to select items.

In my case, 3 six-foot lengths of tubing, with a value of $22.00, had an 
additional shipping charge of $18.60.  Just make sure you consider this 
surcharge too when looking at cost.
