“Fast service”

eddie w.
9/16/24

I'm lucky enough to have one of the warehouses 20 minutes away from me so if its in stock there I can do customer pickup and save shipping costs. Shipping on an 8 foot piece of steel can almost double the price. My last order was placed mid morning got my conformation email for pick same afternoon. Great service guys and thanks.

“Freight Cost”

Gerald B.
9/8/24

Experience in order process and shipping was good. Still extremely unhappy with cost of freight that exceeded by far the actual cost of shipment. I actually need more of the same item previously ordered but am seeking local or alternative sources due to the shipping cost. May order from Alibaba or Aliexpress if not local.

My aluminum sheet arrived as time estimated, during inspection i noticed:
- Couple places have dents on the edge ( minor)
- Sheet protected by a strong plastic film on both side.
- Exact size as i ordered.
- Thickness is exact as stated ( I measured by a micro meter).
Over i rated this company 4 stars, 1 star subtracted by high shipping cost.

Search and search for a steel pipe/tube that would work to repair the PTO drive shaft for my Massey Ferguson hay bailer. This repair part worked perfectly with a bit of welding to complete the repair. The strength of the PTO shaft should work for years to come

I ordered a piece of material that appeared to be readily available on the web site. I chose overnight shipping at checkout. The next day the order just said "processing" so I called customer service. The reps were friendly and helpful but the material was not in stock and was shipping from an outside vendor. I was told a substitute piece was available in-stock. I requested that piece be shipped in addition to the one coming from the outside vendor. Unfortunately, this did not happen. It took two more calls to customer service over the next couple days to finally get the second piece shipped. In the end, they both arrived the same day and I was able to cut and deliver the rush parts I had to make. This was a rather stressful experience, given the emergency nature of the job I was working.

Good place to get metal online and 95% of the time I get it in just a couple of days. I do wish there was better prices for shipping on the longer sizes.

I contacted OnlineMetals with a question because I was unsure of the appropriate metal for my project. They answered my call promptly, listened to my needs, and identified the best product for me and shipped it out quickly. The item arrived so quickly I was surprised by it. Great company to do business with.
