I have been using Mouser for....30 years.
And, no, you do not have to include lead length when shopping for axials.
The radials - yes, they could be leadformed.
Not axials.
And, even if yes and in doubts - the part there almost always has link to the datasheet where you could see everything based on pat number including the lead length, if applicable.
To me personally, Mouser is THE LEAST trickiest of all the places I've been using, and I use Digikey for almost as long, Newark and Allied. Plus some others that I use less.
PS> I am not advocating not using Sal, I am just saying, if you need the caps soon - Mouser is an excellent choice, and then once Sal is back in operation, you could keep ordering from him.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
