Good product, not best use of cutting I ordered two pieces of prepunched aluminum. Both were cut perfect size but one of them the left the solid edge on one side which kinda defeats the purpose of needing punched holes

Dimensions not as advertised We ordered a 1.000" ID 1.500" OD pipe (as advertised) byt the ID measures .986" and is going to require additional machining. Specifically bought from this vendor because the ID was different than "stock" pipe at other vendors.

Excellent Customer Service!!! I'm an infrequent user of metal materials but needed roughly twenty feet of half-inch brass half-oval for a rowboat I'm building. I noticed Online Metals has a distribution center near me, so hoped to place my order for local pickup. I was shocked when a $350 shipping cost appeared on my order summary. So, I called Customer Service and spoke with CSR Sharrell Bass, who explained that the items I desired to order were not stocked locally near me but were shipped out of Connecticut. She advised me that my shipping cost could be lowered dramatically by ordering lengths less than 8 feet. I gave her my Shopping Cart # and she worked with me to determine that 95" would be the maximum package length UPS would ship at a significantly lower cost of $33.61! This would require custom cutting and she aided me further by ensuring I'd pay the same cost-per-inch as the stock 8' items I'd selected. Accordingly, I advised her I'd need two 95" bars and one 28" bar. Sharrell made the revisions in my cart, I provided payment info, and she placed my order! Thank you, Online Metals! And thank you, Sharrell Bass!

Easy to use website Easy to use website Had no problem finding what I was looking for, even getting custom cuts with instant pricing. Made it super easy to quote parts. After I made the order, the material showed up surprisingly fast, in spite of the custom cuts.

Availability of specialty alloys Availability of specialty alloys and cuts makes online metals my first place to look for materials my local suppliers don’t stock. The shipping is always same day or next day with reasonable rates.
