Here’s my tip for buying short lengths, go to a plumber! They will have offcut laying around that pisses them off.
Trade supplies shops rip off retail customers, end of story.
I walked into Ullrich Aluminium and ordered a sheet 2400x1200x3 of checkerplate, was told $300+ dollars, I told them it was an account purchase, and the price was $130.
Think about it, why would they give the local guy walking in off the street, the same price as someone that spends $200k a year with them?
RING AROUND YOUR LOCAL PLUMBERS! My mate 3 doors up is a plumber, he’s had 1500mm of 2 inch copper rolling around in the back of his ute for a month, I keep forgetting to grab it.
If anyone wants stainless tube, go to your local stainless shop, stop getting ripped off!
