I bought a roll of .025" thick 2024T3 sheet from them and it was fine.
Heavier gages or lower yield strength grades might not fare as well.

Subject: shipping aluminum sheet
Aircraft Spruce and others indicate that 4'x12' sheets
of aluminum up to about .030" can be shipped as one
piece by rolling and boxing. They caution that they
don't guarantee that the heavier gauge material will
unroll completely flat when shipped this way. Has
anyone ordered sheet stock that was shipped rolled
this way, and what was your experience with it?
