I ordered a sheet of .025" x 4' x 8' and it unrolled and laid perfectly flat. It
was only rolled for the time it took to get to me (about three days).

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?
