Their prices are better than SVCs; that's saying something.

Colored sleeving:

svc: 1/4" $1.59 for 5'
cable organizer: 1/4" $0.40 per foot, $2 for 5'

cheaper? no.

svc: 1/2" $1.99 for 5'
cable organizer: 1/2" $.55 per foot, $2.75 for 5'

cheaper? no.

black sleeving:

cable organizer: 1/4" $.28 per foot, $1.40 for 5'
cable organizer: 1/2" $.50 per foot, $2.50 for 5'

cheaper, yes and no.

and yes, i knew of the existence of the site (cable organizer), and did comparisons before laying down some $50 for sleeving (over a series of purchases) at svc.

http://www.partsexpress.com/

they sell it in 25' rolls, came out to be $1.25 per 5 ft.

Heatshrink is $1.35 for 4'

the tubing svc sells is 3:1 tubing. most tubing you'll find is 2:1. i will tell you this, partsexpress is a great store. i only have purchased from svc cuz i was getting stuff there anyway, saves on shipping.

Oops. I stand corrected. Thanks MDay.

SVC IS out of black 1/4" sleeving, however. :D
