I've had some 5m and 6m ones delivered for free!! Then cut them to size!!

I get the 4" and 5" tubes. I tend to be a tad anal about shipping and only ship in brand new tubes. It only adds about $4-8 to your cost.

TUBES, by morgan on Nov 10, 2013 21:00:05 GMT 1, The US seems to be under the impression that the only good tubes are yazoo (and they are ok depending on what you get) and that all Uline are crap. Well uline does make cheapo ones but they also make the thickest professional grade tube I have ever seen avail to the public. Compare the two in widths and Uline is the clear winner in thickest/best and also their shipping is insanely fast. Add to that they have great deals on huge rolls of heavy duty craft and glassine paper. my .02

This did the job!
You could take a leaf from the SOS crew, and use plastic pipe/guttering?

Dont go near Rajapak postal boxes (great to store as they go flat) I have had several crushed in the post.

They let me take it on that planeโฆand the connecting one! They even came out from behind the counter to put a special 'Hand Luggage' sticker on it.
This art-tube extends, and was locked in position at about 90cm!
