I just ordered some tube. Needing a fair bit, I ordered 4 x 300 lengths (the maximum stocked size) and was surprised to find a cutting charge added.

If I were ordering lots of little 10mm lengths, or wanted an odd total length, I could understand the charge, but all I want is four complete pieces - rather like ordering multiples of the inconveniently packed 30g coils of hh or hard wire.

In the end, I added four separate lengths to my basket and phoned the order in to say I wasn't trying to in some way cheat the system and avoid a charge.

But there must surely be a better way?
