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.

My package was lost by UPS, and once a claim was filed Online Metals shipped out replacement parts pretty quickly.
Thanks for the feedback Bronsin! I apologize UPS lost your material, but I am so glad we were able to ship new material your way to meet your timeframe!
Ordered material as usually. Shipping company lost my order and it arrived a week late after my delivery deadline. Online Metals is awesome - UPS was not.

We ordered on a Thursday and it was here on monday. We are closed on Fridays, but we have had some orders the next day with Ground shipping!

Thanks for the feedback Rob! I am so glad the order process was easy and pain free!
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 ordered several different items and their total costs were about $32. Evidently they came from 3 different locations despite your statements about lots in stock. The shipping charges were $42. It is less likely that i will order from Online metals in the future as those costs were much greater than I expected.
Thanks for the feedback Jim! I do apologize, all of our shipping costs are calculated directly through UPS on our website, but we are running a promotion for $10 ground shipping for the time being if you are still interested!
Thanks for the feedback Elliot! I am so glad we were able to assist in getting the material you needed on order. Feel free to call back in the future if you need help as well!
Thanks for the feedback Scott. An email should have been sent, I do apologize one was not. If you are able to send us the order number, I can have my IT team for the website look into it for you to prevent this happening in the future!
I cannot THANK Y'all enough for your compassionate, caring adjustment to my shipping costs for this part.
Thanks for the feedback Craig! I am glad we could help you out with that. We can not always adjust shipping costs since they are calculated with UPS, but we usually try to if we have the ability to!
Thanks for the feedback Susan! I am glad everything worked out! Feel free to reach out if you ever need assistance with placing orders!
I order small lots...for special projects...good prices and always fast shipping
Thanks for reaching out David! I am glad we can be a reliable source for you!


Thanks for the feedback Bob! I am glad we could get the material to you as soon as possible!
