Default Looking for 5/8 copper pipe/tube

I have ordered 5/8 copper for my AC repair FIVE TIMES and four of the five orders I received were 1/2 inch and the 5th order was cancelled by the vendor. These are from 5 different companies !!

WTH? The orders CLEARLY state 1/2 and the packing slips CLEARLY say 1/2 inch. Total disregard for what I actually ordered.

Soooooooo....anyone have a foot or two of 5/8 inch copper for an AC unit? I'll pay for it and the shipping obviously.

I just looked at my install, and so the tubing is flexible nice gentle curves going the same as the 3/8 pressure line, returns to the outside comp unit....it measures same as watt I play with doing copper water plumbing but water pipe is not too flexible, soldered fittings.....
