Default Aircraft Spruce and their comma delimited order form

Stock numbers is stock numbers. Yeah, I know, it should all make
sense. Having been involved in setting up a number system myself, you
start out being consistent, but, down the road stuff happens.
It could be that they are mirroring supplier numbers. It's a pain to
have to translate incoming stock# into a Aircraft Spruce #.


No telling.

When ordering tubing, "2,03-02400-5" correctly translates into two 5'
lengths of 03-02400.

However, the same logic doesn't seem to translate for spar stock:
02-123-8 didn't translate into an 8' length.

Anyone had experience ordering this way? Corrections?- Mike

Yep, I can call Spruce, but wanted to see if someone knew.....
