Had to call them to get the order placed for will-call, website wasn't offering the option, but once placed, it was ready next-day. Exactly what I needed and a fair price.
I needed to buy brass bead stock to machine replacement oar rests for an antique boat for our local museum. Searched around and found this supplier, and am quite pleased I did. The stock matched the old boat's and it was a simple job for me to make the part, polish and lacquor to seal it to retain bright finish.
Thanks for the detailed feedback, David! Restoration projects are awesome, and glad to hear we had the right material for the job.
Thanks, Keith, glad everything arrived as expected. Excited to hear you value our extra packaging efforts!
Thank you for the feedback Ed! I am glad we are a reliable source for you and that we are able to get material to you in a timely manner.
I have ordered from them numerous times and have always been satisfied with the results. I recently had a problem with UPS when they delivered an empty container from OnlineMetals.com. I called OnlineMetals.com and they sent me the materials that I did not receive because of faulty handling by UPS.
There were no problems getting it done. I recommend them to anyone.

I have a small shop and need materials for projects as they present themselves. When I start searching for materials, I start with Online Metals and will return to purchase those materials once I've looked around.
The website is easy to navigate, I will not stay on a site that I have to struggle with.
Some other material providers don't have the broad supply that Online Metals has.
For me, my Rolodex begins with Online Metals. Great service, prices, excellent website, fast shipping, good packaging.
I will return to Online Metals and I would recommend them to others.

In retirement, my telescope and optics hobby requires me to make most of the
Parts that I need. Several years ago the first metal supplier I found on the internet was
OnLineMetals. I have not used any other source sense.
Such a cool hobby! We would love it if you added some pics to the review. Can't wait to see what you work up next and don't hesitate to reach out.
I love OnlineMetals, and have used them for a good decade now. Huge selection, no minimum order, great prices, and the website is set up very well to learn about materials properties, dimensions, WEIGHT per unit, etc., and compare different options.
What they need is to offer a lot more in the way of FRP, but you can't have everything.
Thanks so much for the feedback Paul! Would love to hear more specifics on what exactly you are looking at in terms of FRP and maybe we can make that happen.
OM has always provided excellent service with quality metals. They're my goto.
Thank you for the feedback Sheldon! I am glad we can be a reliable source for you! Let us know if you ever can not find what you need!
Very good just what I ordered and was delivered when I needed it.
