Ethan should be the standard for all of your sales reps. All of the superlatives apply to him: Most patient, highly knowledgeable, genuinely friendly, prompt follow-through and follow-up, and finally, just a nice person to talk to.
As a business owner, I know how difficult it is to find those rare, good ones. Ethan is one of those rare finds.
I almost had decided to take my business elsewhere when the first rep I spoke with dropped me like a hot potato. Ethan stepped up to the plate and hit a home run! Thank you, Ethan!
Super fast shipping and materials. I live in Texas so it only took a day. Thank you!

Been dealing with onlinemetals for quite a few years now. Cost are reasonable, lead time is too. Sometimes lead time is very fast.
Thanks for the feedback Rick! I am so glad we can be a reliable source for all of your metal needs!
I ordered 2 20lb proto boxes, one brass, one aluminum. When it came in (both in the same box) the box was severely damaged and about 2lbs worth of aluminum was missing unfortunately… I gave them a call, explained the situation and not only did they send me the 2lbs of missing aluminum, they sent me a whole new 20lb proto box for free! Great customer service! Highly recommended.
Thanks for the feedback Mckale! I am so sorry there was initially an issue, but I am so glad we were able to fix this for you and get you the missing aluminum, and more!
Messaged about a few damaged pieces of aluminum that were shipped scratched and marred. Replacements were quickly ordered and shipped out. They arrived the other day and in good condition. Thanks for the Excellent Service!

Received a free BBG that needed a grill. After searching all over, googled replacement grills and Online metals was there! Online assistant was a great help and made recommendations! Product was delivered 3 days later! Yes, sharp but was careful with it. Just received email on "U" bars for edges but are pricey and don't know which to buy. Thank you Much!
Thanks for the feedback Dion! I am so glad we could get you the material you needed for your BBQ grill!
My first time to buy from Online Metals was a great experience. I have been buying metals from another vendor for ten years or more. On my latest project they didn't have much of what i needed, but you had everything - and at a better price! Your shipping was much more reasonable, too. I'm very glad to switch!
Thanks for the feedback Lewis! I am so glad we can be a reliable source for you, and hopefully for many more years to come!
Ordered some specific pipe, to fit a connector puck and threading.
Had the pipe cut to specific length. All was done as ordered.
The only thing was that the units needed to be de burred.
Price and quality is good. Delivery fast and well documented.
Thanks for the feedback Marius! I am so glad we could provide you with the material you needed within your time frame!
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 12" long section of tubing that was 1.5" OD x 0.049" wall x 1.402" ID in 304 seamless stainless steel. The order was accurately filled, and the tube was promptly delivered. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
