Always a pleasure
January 14, 2024

2024 started out on a very good note, two day delivery. I love it! Good prices and good service. I shop no where else, because there is no reason to.

THE place to go for project supplies
January 12, 2024

I have been hotrodding cars for over 30 years, mostly pre-war street rods. My '37 and '38 Chevys required a lot of fabrication to install all the modern touches. Projects like these require materials not ordinarily available from the local hardware store. This is where OnlineMetals saves the day.

OnlineMetals makes a wide variety of metals in various sizes and alloys available in the smaller quantities that I typically require. It's nice not to have minimum purchase quantity requirements too - Thank You!

The items were cut to exact spec and arrived much faster than I expected. The savings over buying steel at the "Low" store and from a certain Depot is tremendous!

I needed more of this to complete my project. The order was delivered on schedule. The only comment I have is the $3.50 bar cost but it cost $17 to deliver.

I ordered a 0.0216" thick sheet of copper, 78"x24". I got this to wrap a tabletop i'm making. I've done this before, but this is the largest table i've wrapped. OnlineMetals always sent me well packaged sheets this thin and never had a problem. Was wondering and a bit worried how a large piece would come through. It arrived today and i noticed it was pretty heavy. When i unwrapped it, i found out why -- the copper was attached via plastic film pallet wrap to a 3/4" thick piece of particle board MDF! Needless to say, the copper was perfect! Now i know why the shipping was so high, but worth it! And of course, i got my monthly discount, which helped ease the cost! I will continue to buy from OnlneMetals for all my metal needs!

We love the breadth and convenience of their locally-stocked ready-as-needed physical inventory.

Recently though there was a glitch in the online ordering system (as can happen occasionally with all suppliers), indicating erroneously that a short uncommon-spec piece of material we needed for a project was available in our local warehouse.

Within hours of placing the order, we received a personal e-mail informing us that the error was detected by their order-fulfillment team, and offering us free 2-day shipment from their next-nearest warehouse…

As our project was on a tight timeline, I e-mailed back explaining that we had really needed that *same-day* in this case — and that I'd need to buy it again from a second local source [and I assumed that was that!]…

With minutes I received a response from the same flesh-and-blood-human customer service member, with the surprising offer to send it out immediately -upgrading the shipping to *next day delivery*, if that would work for us, "given it was our error"!

That saved out project's timeline — and spared us from extra downtime & expense (or worse!)

Way to go!

Excellent
January 8, 2024

While I only do a small amount of metal work as part of my hobby of classic motorcycle recommissioning, I appreciate being able to buy small quantities of the metals required as and when I need them. Not being an experienced metal buyer, it is very helpful to have a functional web site that allows me to study and analyze the metals available. Having placed multiple orders with Online Metals, I have never been disappointed with the quality and speed of their service. All aspects of the transactions have been outstanding. Thanks.
