“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.

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!

I placed an order for aluminum sheet material, unfortunately labels got swapped at the factory and I received someone else's order. When I contacted online metals the problem was dealt with immediately and effectively. I now have the correct parts and all is well!

What experience? I ordered some steel and it was delivered. It's not like I went to see the Grateful Dead or something.

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.

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.

I filled out an online order and before sending called Online to get the discount code for September so I could insert in my order. The helpful woman sales person that answered looked my account and electronically completed all that was need including the new 10% discount. She was very helpful and efficient. The materials were quickly shipped and received in good condition! Good Job!

I appreciate Online Metals for the large variety of materials they have and the quick shipment. Each order has been delivered quickly and correct. I live in the Southeast so shipments from the Atlanta location arrive very quickly. A really great supplier.
