One thing to note: if you are getting this quantity of profile, aliexpress can save you a bundle. Shipping is expensive and slow, but the cost savings on the profile can make it worth it.
edit: Went back and looked at my quote, looked like 2040 was $1 per 200mm. Shipping cost around another $1.30. 8020 Inc, the supplier used in the article, is more like $1 per 50mm, so even with the shipping it was a huge savings.
- argondonor 4y agoWhat seller has prices that low? I've been looking through and can't find anything near even double that price.
- linsomniac 4y agoMy purchase was back in Feb 2020, maybe prices have gone through the roof? I was mistaken above, that quote was one I didn't end up going with, the one I did buy from was "Shanghai Common Metal Products Co., Ltd.", landed it was $523.52, that was 56m of 2040 and 11m of 2020 for a landed cost of $1 per 128mm length aggregate. Largely they charge by weight, and they cut my pieces to a variety of lengths, that order was 16 different lengths.
