I ordered what I needed and quickly got what I ordered.
We have used online metals a few times this year. Each time our order arrives when promised and exactly as we ordered. Pricing is what we expect for our industry but saves us the hassle of having to pick it up. We will continue to use them.
Thank you, Steve, for taking the time to share your positive experience. We're glad to hear our reliability and pricing continue to meet your expectations, and we look forward to supporting your orders in the future. Your satisfaction means a lot to us.
I ordered three pieces of aluminum over the weekend. They got in touch to let me know those were still in transit and there would be a one-day delay. These things happen, and I consider them getting in touch to be great customer service.
Bob, thank you so much for acknowledging how we handle delays. Keeping you informed during any delays is very important to us, and I’m glad our communication made a positive difference. We truly appreciate your understanding and look forward to serving you again soon.
Hi Jim, thank you so much for your kind words! It’s great to hear that our selection and delivery met your expectations. We look forward to being your go-to for all your needs in the future!
Good! Everything was as I expected and fast shipping! Got the job done on time. Thank you!

I am happy with my custom orders and will use you guys again
David, thank you for sharing your satisfaction with the ordering process and the custom pieces you received. We're excited to serve you again and appreciate your continued trust in us.
They sent the wrong material first, but very quickly made it right without me having to return the wrong material. Super good service and I will use them again.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Allen! We're glad we could resolve the issue quickly and appreciate your willingness to continue working with us—looking forward to supporting you again soon.
I received my order in a timely manner and a good price
Hi Michael, thanks so much for your feedback! I’m glad to hear your order arrived on time and met your expectations price-wise—you can count on us to keep delivering quality and value. Hope to assist you again soon!
I ordered several custom cut AL. Some of them were distorted, not flat. I don't know if it was from the cutting or the shipping. I've ordered before and usually I'm happy.
Hi Richard, I'm truly sorry to hear that some parts of your custom cut aluminum arrived distorted. We take quality and customer satisfaction seriously and would like to make this right—please reach out so we can discuss how to resolve the issue promptly. Thank you for your continued trust in us.
If they don't carry it, you probably don't need it. Impressive inventory of shapes, sizes and alloys.
Bryan, thank you for your thoughtful kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that our extensive inventory and quick order processing made such a difference. If ever you find yourself searching for something new, don’t hesitate to reach out—we love helping customers discover exactly what they need.
This was one of my few orders from Online Metals. I make musical instruments, so I do more woodwork than metalwork but, once in a while I have to fabricate banjo hardware. I have bought brass to make my own parts before, and I have never been disappointed. This time was no exception. The parts were delivered to me quickly and I got to continue my building much faster than I had anticipated. The main two holdups in instrument making are having to wait on something to dry (glue, lacquer, etc.) and waiting on hardware to arrive. The wait for this hardware was very short.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Mark. We're truly glad we could help you keep your instruments on schedule with fast delivery and reliable products. Your support means a lot to us, and we look forward to assisting you with any future projects!
Perfect experience with online metals. Item was shipped very fast and was exactly what I ordered.
Thank you, Terry, for sharing your positive experience and for valuing our fast shipping and product accuracy. We're glad to have met your expectations and look forward to assisting you with any future needs. Your support means a lot to us!
As always, Online Metals is professional, reliable and provides the materials I need fast and with reasonable pricing.
Jeff, thank you for your kind words and continued trust in us. We’re always here to ensure you get exactly what you need, quickly and reliably. Looking forward to supporting your projects all the way!
Excellent! I only do a few projects a year using steel or aluminum. Before I started dealing with OnlineMetals I would have to buy something close to what I wanted and modify it to make it fit. Your custom cut service is great. I can buy exactly what I need. Your packaging is outstanding! Your shipping is miraculous! I don't know how you do it, but you get my order to my house in record time, every time! You provide me with shipping options to save me money! Super! The selection of material you offer is incredible! When I want to build something I don't even look at the big box stores anymore. I just grab my phone and order what I need from you!
Keep up the good work! Make sure the people that work in the warehouses get the praise that they deserve!
Thank You!

UPS messed up the order. I called and not only did I get someone right away, they promptly made another piece and sent it next day air. I couldn't have asked for more. Thanks!
