Got my metal fast and the office took care to make sure I was satisfied with the dimensions.
I wasn't sure *exactly* what I needed, so I reached out to ask. They were super helpful and provided a detailed and QUICK reply. My pieces of metal were exactly what I needed and a great price. I'll use them again in the future.
Thanks for the feedback Carmen! I am glad we could help you find the material you needed to work for your project!
We normally have a good experience but this time the 3pcs of 12' aluminum flat bars were bent at the ends to make it into the truck? Why did they bend them?
Thanks for the feedback Heidi! I am so sorry this happened! I will be reaching out to you shortly!
I ordered two items. For one item, I ordered two 8' bars and they came in two separate heat lots with two separate material certs. Did they not have one lot to offer?
For the second item, I ordered 50 bars 8' long and most of the bars have surface roughness to them as if the material was dragged along a floor or rough surface. We will need to buff up these bars to use them.
Thanks for the feedback George! I am so sorry that happened! If you can send pictures to [email protected] we can try to get some sort of partial refund for you if you'd like!

Online metals always has fast order processing and fast shipping and seems to always have data sheets included with their metals. Shipping is always reasonable, though occasionally if the metal is shipped from outside their network it can vary to the high side sometimes.
Thanks for the feedback Chris! I am so glad we could get you the material you needed within your time frame. We actually just adjusted the shipping costs yesterday, after renegotiating our terms with UPS. The prices should be a little better now!
Materials ship immediately, arrive safely, provide great value, and are all I could want.
