That roll's only about a $40-50 bill? You'll spend half that in postage.
They charge extra for oversize.

Most NAPAs have a compartment bin with standard length brake tubings in stock. Other parts stores keep it in the back/have to ask for it. I buy these all the time for short bends. You get factory ends so half the work to flare. They have the regular coated steel and the green soft stuff. I think I did the P in the green stuff.
I buy piece stock from onlinemetals.com when I need something "exotic" and don't want to buy a whole length because leftovers accumulate. Locally, I'm not in a good place for garage supplies. I'll take the truck and get a load of steel, and then trip over it for a year or two and always run out of the most used size.
