Square Tubing: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $2.25 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $1.60 at volume, on a typical 21-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For square tubing, the drivers are diameter, length, grade, thread type, corrosion resistance, equipment fitment, tube diameter, steel grade — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published US-facing retail and trade listings for aluminum square tube show broad pricing around $5.95-$25.15 for cut-to-size extrusion pieces and roughly $1-$10 per foot depending on alloy, wall thickness, and size, while marketplace/import listings show much lower bulk-equivalent pricing by weight or piece at high volume. The biggest price drivers are alloy/temper (commonly 6061 vs 6063), wall thickness, custom cut length, finish/coating, and whether the part is simple tube stock or a fabricated/mounted component; certified or custom-mounted industrial-safety variants tend to price above plain structural tube. Realistic supplier routes are US metal service centers and cut-to-length distributors for low thousands of units, and import/OEM factory sourcing for 10k+ units where landed-equivalent pricing can compress materially.
