Call Alro at
Tampa: 813-661-1646
Clearwater: 727-572-4344
There are more companies that I know, but they only deal with commercial/industrial customers. They arent cheap because they are the middle man, but better than any home depot.

Metal Supermarkets...they are just as expensive as Alro, but just as long you're not buying in large quanities, I guess its okie.

For industrial aluminum product suppliers, no one can't beat Florida Extruders pricing and service. They are the aluminum milling company, so its a direct buy straight from the source. No retail pricing, no middle man.

Go to Alro and look in the seconds/scrap racks. You can usually find what your looking for cheap.
