Received missing items ordered items quick and easy. They have awesome customer service. As per their website I gave them call for discount which was reasonable. Thanks
Poor overall experience. Difficulties with online ordering, lack of a contact phoine number in Seattle. No notice that the material had arrived and it sits there for days until I chase it up... by email! Which is not efficient for ME. It's like you guys are specializing in Sales Prevention. Too many obstacles in my path to purchase.
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!

Fast, efficient & precise. Many of my repair projects require plate metal to fit with minimum alterations to its size, materials & cost. They deliver in remarkable time & customer satisfaction. Custom cut to size, makes my work much easier to accomplish without the need of precision equipment for a clean & professional look.
Welcome to the Online Metals Club. We are happy to have you and support you on future repair projects. Can't wait to work with you again soon, Kurt!
I needed some aluminum channel and angled, various odd items to proto some things I'm working with in Ham Radio. Things like this are not available down the street and dealing with large metal distributors in the closest big town is a major trip. Those folks at the city desk have a hard time dealing the little onesies and twosies of a guy like me. Online Metasl fits the bill. Website is easy to navigate and shipping was just as expected. Items were picked and shipped from different locations, all arrived in good order. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback Mike! I am so glad we were able to get you the material needed!
I order 2 pieces of steel to repair our work boat. The pieces were here as I ordered them and despite 3 day shipping THE NEXT DAY! Decent price, I got the correct materials quickly. I wish some of my other recent purchases went as smoothly. Well done OnlineMetals.com. You have a guaranteed repeat customer.
Thanks for the feedback Bill! I am so glad we were able to get this to you ahead of schedule! We try our best to make sure orders are shipped the same or following business day. If you ever need assistance on an order, just give us a call! We'd be happy to help!
I use OM anytime I'm looking for metal for my restoration projects. They have a great selection, and their prices are some of the best around. Highly recommend it.
Thanks for the feedback! I am so glad you were able to find what you needed at a great price!
Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. The package came today, slightly earlier than expected!
The piece of material exceeds all required dimensions!
Thanks You So Much!
Thanks for the feedback James! I am glad we could get the material for you that you needed!
I had a fantastic experience with OnlineMetals.com! It was my first time ordering and they walked me through the process. Delivery was super fast!
Thank so much Brianne, we hope it won't be your last! Let us know how else we can help with your future projects!
Easy to order, quality product in stock, reasonable shipping cost, quick to ship, very satisfied. Online metals has provided me with great service and had the products I needed. I've been a happy customer for many years.
Thanks for the feedback Willy! I am glad we can be an accessible, and reliable source for you!

Thanks for the feedback Priyanka! I am glad we were able to help get that missing piece to you as soon as possible, and I do apologize a piece went missing in the first place.
I ordered a 12" x 18" piece. What showed up was a 12" x 10-5/16" piece, so I called Customer Service. The lady who took the call was fantastic. Within minutes she had taken care of the situation, and I was informed that a reorder was in process. Mistakes happen. Always will. But it's how we respond that says something, and I was impressed by how Online Metals responded. The new, correct piece showed up 2 days later.
Thanks for the feedback Phil! We do our best to make sure we get material to you as soon as possible, and i do apologize there was an issue with your order, but I am so glad we were able to fix this for you!
I always appreciate the fact that OnlineMetals.com gets my order out to me in the fastest possible time frame. Always 110% satisfied with their amazing service!
Thanks for the feedback John! I am glad we were able to help you get this material to meet your timeline!
A piece shipped from a 3rd party seller. Never an email regarding receipt of order, if/when shipped. Called Online Metals to track after 4 or 5 days and were not able and advised they would reach out to seller and I would get info back that day but nothing. Called again next day and same thing, no information. Received email late that day just as packaged arrived. Essentially it shipped and arrived on time but I had no idea if/when it was coming, no tracking.
Thank you for your feedback Claude, I apologize, the experience you had with us was not up to par. I will reach out to you shortly to resolve this!
I had an issue with the order I received, it didn't have a PVC coating on one side. Honestly, i didn't check to see if the brass sheet I ordered automatically came with a PVC coating, but when I emailed saying i wish the sheet was covered, They immediately send out another. No questions asked. Because of this I was able to finish my project on time without losing time buffing out all those scratches!
Thank you Sharrell!
Thanks for the feedback Paul! I am so glad we could fix this for you. You can always give us a call before placing if you ever need to verify. Our number is 800-704-2157!
As a returning Online Metals customer, I purchased 304-series stainless steel square tubing on 01/29/24. The online ordering process was simple and the Online Metals staff processed my order quickly. Based on my prior purchasing experiences with Online Metals, I highly recommend this company for their extensive selection of metals, their good prices, excellent customer service, their prompt order processing and shipping.
Thanks for the feedback Peter! I am glad we were able to provide you with the materials you need. We are constantly working to add more products to our website to further service our customers.
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.
Thanks for the feedback Ian! I am glad we were able to get you all the helpful information needed to help you see what works best! If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask! Our email is sales@onlinemetals.com.
Had everything in stock and at the best price. Even with the shipping cost they beat all the local places. Great communication with multiple updates on your order and timelines for delivery. It's nice to have a place that offers consistently good products, prices and buying experience.
Once again, BEST IN THE BUSINESS
Thanks for the feedback Jon! I am so glad we could be a reliable source for you, and that you love our competitive pricing! We appreciate the business, Jon!
I order from OnlineMetals when I need material fairly quickly and the order is not too large. If either of these is not the case I order from Midwest Steel and Aluminum. If schedule is key, I order from McMaster. Online is sort of in the middle. I have never had a problem with material from Online and will continue to order from them as appropriate.
Thanks for the feedback David. I apologize that you feel like you can not rely on us due to pricing. Depending on how much you are looking for, and what material, we can almost always offer some better pricing. Please feel free to reach out if you ever have pricing issues. Our number is 800-704-2157, and our email is sales@onlinemetals.com!
The whole process, from specification to receiving my order, was fast and easy! You guys are great!
Thanks for the kind words, Lewis! Fast & easy are part of what we believe to be exceptional service and glad we are holding up our end.
For the small volume buyer like me, a hobbyist, OnlineMetals offers very competitive pricing, especially for delivery, which can vary widely across companies. They provide excellent quality material that is accurately described.
Thanks for the feedback Reed! I am glad we can provide the quality material you need at the best pricing!
A great source of material. Or, if you're having difficulty finding what you want else where, this is a great resource. All orders have been filled & shipped promptly. And, without any errors.
Thanks for the feedback Dennis! I am glad we could get you the material you needed. If there is anything you need but do not see, reach out, we might be able to source something for you to meet your needs! Our email is sales@onlinemetals.com
Only time I ever had a shipment gone wrong. Wrong material was sent. Called them up and they shipped out the correct order same day. Great customer service!
We know stuff happens, so we are happy to make it right when it does. We are so glad we were able to recover from the mistake promptly. Thanks Jeremy!
They stopped carrying 1/8" square stainless on the website. But found a supply very quickly for me via online chat, and at a fair price.
Thanks for the feedback Nehemiah! I am glad we were able to source that material for you! If you ever don't see something you need, just hop on our chat, or give us a call, we can see what we are able to do for you!
Its okay, my problem is the handling of my shipping account number.
1. You shipped to arrive on Saturday. I'm not happy about that!
2. The shipper billed me twice.

Thanks for the feedback Danny. I am going to be messaging you shortly.
This simple purchase was complicated due to fact I placed it in the middle of your discount revisions. Attempts to do it on-line would not take my discount code and when I called in to discuss and went through the ordering again your sales agent told me I could get a discount for the code issued for the entire month of January. I said that On-line issued the discount for the entire month and legally they should be bound by this commitment. She put me on hold and went to check on this and came back on line to say the discount is valid and we got the order placed. A time consuming exercise.
Thanks for the feedback Al! I apologize for the hassle, we were in the process of revamping our rewards system, due to the current market. All issues should be ironed out going forward. We hope this does not defer you from doing any future business with us.
