Draw a line all the way across the surface of the tube by using a measuring tape (or ruler) and following the measurment. Then use either a super fine hand saw or a fine table saw.

You could try the plastic shop, but they may charge a mininum fee for even the most simple cuts, and they won't gaurentee anything if you did not purchase the part from them.

use a fence and a guide on a table saw to keep the tube at the set length and rotate the tube to get a clean cut. Just a suggestion.
