I have had good luck with Marmon Keystone, lots of warehouses and the
delivery at least used to be free.
Here is their drawn tubing page:

They also offer various cutting, swaging, and other services.

Mill lots are usually cast billet sized - all of one casting (about 6 tons
as I recall from an Alcoa plant visit) rolled/drawn into what you want, so
it is unlikely you will get the attention of a mill.
Jorgensen Steel and Tube Service are among the largest distributors, but
very thin in the odd wall thicknesses needed for telescopic tubing. I
found better DOM tube stock 6061/63 at DXE, Texas Towers, and On Line Metals
(division of ThyssenKrupp). On line provided me mill lengths from Thyssen
on request. DXE only provides up to 6' lengths, except for a couple of boom
sizes.
