Ordered on July 1 with a 2 day delivery. It's July 6. Please advise when it will arrive…the UPS tracking link does not work
The metal is good and the site is good and the customer service is exceptional, but I'm never going to be truly happy with this company until you can lower your shipping prices. Every item i add to my card has its own shipping costs applied. I can order something the size of a pencil and the shipping will go up by $12-15. I understand that it's because you ship from numerous locations, but in 2025 given the state of affairs with online commerce, it's a major problem and you're always going to be my last resort until you fix it. That said, your selection is second to none, so I will probably continue to default to OM and pay the exhorbitant shipping more often than I'd like to.
First class outfit - materials excellent and 2-day shipment, without paying extra! Lightning-fast. Wonderful company to deal with!
Used it to replace the missing media tray of an antique opaque projector. Ordering was quick and easy. Well packaged. Just precisely what was needed.
Had a great experience ordering through Online Metals. Only bummer is I wish I would have been told that the wire mesh would be rolled up on a 3" diameter cardboard tube. It is extremely difficult to flatten the wire mesh. It looks like the mesh has a wave going through it
Getting a quote and ordering was simple. Shipping was timely. Unfortunately the large piece of copper I ordered arrived poorly finished. It was filthy, had markings on it, and the faces have deep cuts throughout, it is unusable as is and needs a lot of sanding to smooth out all the surfaces. Not happy.

Please contact our customer service team so we can quickly make this right and help you with a replacement or refund to ensure your project continues smoothly.

Thank you so much, Becky! We’re thrilled to hear you loved the shiny metal and that our team could make your experience smooth and enjoyable. It’s customers like you that make what we do truly rewarding!
The customer service was great and the communication also great. I was shipping the New Zealand and the only disappointment was the alloy was shipped in 2 containers instead of one costing me 2X what it should have. When it all arrived it would have easily fit in one tube.

We truly appreciate your feedback about the shipping, and we're already exploring ways to handle shipments more efficiently to save you costs in the future. It means a lot to know we delivered well otherwise!
