Depending on the type of steel and the vendor, you may as often find
that 12 feet is the standard bar length. At least it was for 1-1/4"
12L14 and 7/8" 1018 CRS when I bought a copple of pieces at American
Steel in South Portland, Maine a couple of months ago.

It was a nice surprise to find that they were again consumer-friendly,
even taking credit cards.

Yes, I noticed they've been much more accommodating as
well. They've always been willing to sell to me as a
business, but getting them to make a small delivery down
here in Harpswell was like pulling teeth for a while. Last
time it was no problem - "We deliver down there twice a
week."

You might want to check out Yarde's Drop Zone as well. Very
good prices and delivery isn't too expensive for stock
coming out of CT, if you arrange it in advance. I use
Leighton's express (in Falmouth, I think). 300-400 pounds
of steel is usually around $40 for the freight. UPS isn't
too bad for aluminum.
