Parker steel do most stuff. I got mine from a local welding firm I work with from time to time - they buy it in bulk so passed it on to me at a
really good price - may be worth you paying a couple of places a visit

Why not just get it from your local steel stockholders (yellow pages)? I wouldn't have thought it was the sort of thing that lends itself to
internet marketing

Rectangular hollow tubing in manufactured by cold drawing round section tubing over a rectangular mandrel. I have no idea what your steel supplier is
selling as hot drawn, but most likely it isnt tube at all, but pipe.

RHS used to be manufactured by rolling a flat strip and resistance welding the join. Cold formed is cleaner than hot rolled.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

It still is. I just skipped that all the steps and went straight to the point where it becomes tubing.
