I thought I would give them a try and ordered one of their 25lb. boxes of mixed remnants (drops). I wanted to get some more aluminum flat plate to make some small-ish tooling plates. I didn't think about it until after I had already ordered it, and it hit me - I hope they don't send me a box full of round stock! 
FedEx dropped it off today (2 day delivery) and lady luck had smiled down on me.

6061 aluminum plate.
1/2" X 5" X 13-3/8"
1/2" X 6" X 7-1/8"
5/8" X 6" X 7"
3/4" X 5-3/4" X 9-1/4"
1-1/2" X 4" X 7-3/4"
1-1/2" X 5" X 6"
6061 aluminum round.
2-1/2" X 8"
4" X 3/8"
4-1/4" X 5/16"
6" X 3/8"
Package weight 28.4 Lbs.
Stock has a few scratches and dings (not bad) but on the dirty side. (grit, oil, dirt)
The pieces that are saw cut aren't bad, but the pieces that were cut on the water jet have rough edges and are not perpendicular. Quite a bit of draft that will need to be squared off in the mill.
Over all, for the home shop - plenty good enough and well worth it IMHO.
