Speedymetals.com

No minimum orders, you can order online, they'll cut it to size and ship it out same day and are competitively priced.   They have square tubing also, which may make a better frame than rounds.  I use them.as a supplier at work for low volume jobs and never had a problem.

Princess Auto also sells tubing as well, it is uncut but the price is half the price of Home Depot, Rona, Lowes.

I have a spare set of connectors and a length of tubing from PA.  Enough connectors to build the rig here.
