This was my first time working with Online Metals and Sarah did a great job of getting me what I needed even though my first inquire had to be changed. She continued to email me details and walk me through the process online which was really easy! The team at the warehouse in Seattle were really friendly and helped me get the 48x120 sheet of CR 16g into my suburban without incidence. I will definitely be a repeat customer!

Great Customer Service. Katie reached out to let me know that the order I had placed wasnt available in my area and would incur some expensive additional shipping charges. OI was able to cancel my order, no questions asked. I couldnt be happier.

When ordering materials online, I saw copper sheet 110-0 (IN) had been discontinued. This copper is very soft and was perfect for my project application. I emailed asking if it was possible to get some. Nathan was very responsive to my inquiry, searched and found several sheets for me.Thank you!

They have always had what I needed. The website is easy to navigate, and the will-call is super convenient. Small quantities, custom cuts, no problem.

My company has used Online Metals a couple times and so far the prices beat out other competitors, fast shipping, fast responding when we needed custom quotes. Like within the half hour fast! We use their sister company Copper & Brass (Thyssen Krupp) a lot for our bigger metal orders, but when we need something smaller we always look to Online Metals first. Thank you!

Finally a good company that knows whats going on and cares.This is a good company. Good quality materials, Ive been buying aluminum for my prototype. Good customer service, Carly Smith, handled my emails over the weekend, she was fast and got the order situated without me even having to explain what I needed done, she already knew and had it sorted out. Was amazing.The people on the phone are friendly and know their parts, they are real people, they are fast too.Prices are slightly higher than their competitor and worth every single penny!Shipping is seriously fast. Im in Houston and they have a place in Dallas so it works out great. I get the parts only a day or two after I place my order, every time.Packaging is very good and high end.Everything about this place is top notch and fantastic. I dont have a single complaint and wouldnt want to change a single thing about it.If only other businesses were only half as good as online metals the world would instantly be a better place.Their website is fairly easy to use as well, they have a lot of products and materials so it can be a bit overwhelming if you dont know where to navigate the first time, but an operator can also assist you with ordering so you can get it done easily. Once you create an account and learn the site it does get very easy especially if you order the same products over again.Anyway, great place to do business with. Very, very good place! Fun commercials too.Cheers!

Online metals is a great org. Ordered some round bar stock, thought it would take a week to receive, received it in two days.When I received the order I thought I was missing an item, contacted them via email and the responded super super fast and gave me a status on the rest of the order. In this day and age it was really nice to find an organization with an emphasis on great customer service, great products and awesome fulfillment.

Online metals will skim your email and sign you up for their marketing emails without permissions. Their default website settings allow them to sell your personal information to 3rd parties.

Great customer service! I had questions about an order I made the previous week. They did not have what I wanted in stock. I asked if I could have the cyber Monday discount sense it was late. The employee was happy to hook me up with it. I’ve ordered materials from them before and they are always easy to work with. Thanks for making my day with the discount!

I ordered a 1 x 2 sheet of .063 chromoly that will be laser-cut into a batch of aircraft parts: The sheet arrived the next day, but had a 5-6 bow in it. I emailed OLM and a replacement sheet was shipped that afternoon. Its great to get, fast, no hassle service from a business in these troubled times.

Ive never had to order custom metal before and had no idea where to even start. I stumbled upon online metals and could not be happier. They were SUPER easy to work with and their turn around time is incredible on custom cut metal. If I ever need metal in the future this is where Im going and will refer anyone I run into to go there as well.

Web site is easy to use, they have a very wide selection of materials. I really like that you can get the size and amount you actually need, they have a lot of options there on the sheet metal. The standard shipping is very fast for me in detroit. The packing is very well done and prevents shipping damage. They have gotten all my orders correct. One thing that might be nice is a bit more info on the alloy specifics and properties, best uses and do not use for. You can do that research yourself, but maybe a link or something would take a great 5 star web site to a 6 star rating ;)

This place has been great to order from! They have my order quickly, its correct and I can pick it up at will call with no hassle. They will even match a sample piece if I bring one in so I know it is correct.Recently I called to check on the status of an order while really stressed out because of a personal situation and the customer service person was so patient and helpful. She even followed up with email promptly, just like she said she would. I wont shop anywhere else if I can get what I want here!

I placed my 1st order today with online metals. I came across a question that i couldnt resolve with any info from the website so submitted a question. Really liked the fact that i received a confirmation email confirming receipt of my questions but also received a email shortly after with an answer and direction on how to proceed. I was also supplied with a NAME and PHONE NUMBER for any additional questions! Now that is great customer service!

I looked online every where I could think of Amazon, EBay... Online Metals was the only place I could find with good prices on copper.

Review №48

I’ve used Online Metals in Seattle for several orders now with good results. The will call staff in Seattle has always been very helpful and easy to talk to when receiving my metal purchase on site and they’ve reviewed the order with me to make sure I got everything in my order. Be prepared to load the materials yourself as I don’t think they’re allowed to help you load it outside the loading bay. The loading bay is about 5ft higher than the gravel parking area.I have had an issue with ordering online that caused some confusion and delay. I called customer service on a specific order because a discount wasn’t getting applied to the order (this issue has since been fixed, custom lengths were being charged at a much higher price than the preset lengths in the selection area) the customer service representative seemed inconvenienced by my request to place the order over the phone to make sure it was correct, since the website wasn’t allowing the proper pricing. I was told I should “just place the order and call back to have it corrected after you’ve paid”. In the end the order was placed properly and nothing was wrong. Another thing to be aware of is that some sheet metal is not available for pickup at certain facilities. I wanted to order a 4x8 sheet of diamond plate as well as a gauge steel sheet, but it only shipped from the Atlanta facility directly to my home. Which was going to be $200-300 shipping. So I had to get this material elsewhere locally. Aside from a few minor delays and issues, it’s been easy and convenient to order large quantities or materials. Plus I think it’s neat to get the random metal sample packs to try out some new materials or shapes that I wouldn’t normally use. Thanks!

During my verification of my FIRST ever order that I had placed with Online Metals, there were a couple of duplication on the order that I missed. When I was asked to Approve the order, i then noticed the mistake. I had contacted Online Metals about the mistake and asked if they would fix the order, which they did and without any hesitation. Janelle, who was working with me, was completely understanding and assuring the order would be correct when it shipped out. I would recommend Online Metals to anyone who wants good service and good pricing in this ever changing metals market.

I live locally and have bought from Online Metals multiple times. I have always been able to find what I needed on the website but have occasionally called customer service for clarification; they were always helpful and friendly. My orders have always been processed quickly and ready for pickup (an option as opposed to having it shipped) within two days. The prices are far better than what one would find at a larger hardware store and, of course, there are far more options. I will continue to be a costumer for my future projects and recommend them to others.

I purchase from Online Metals regularly for my small machining business. Their website is easy to use to select the appropriate size and alloy. The custom cut menu can be utilized if you need only a small piece however I like to order larger quantities at a time to help save on shipping. The shipping by the way is fast usually same day of order is placed early or next day of places late. I typically receive my order the day after it ships. They run frequent 15-20% specials which help cover the shipping cost. I have checked local suppliers and even with shipping costs Online Metals is competitive or less expensive plus no hassle. If you haven’t tried them out you should.

Ordered a 3/16 plate of aluminum 72X26 to fit my 1986 F-150 that I am restoring. This will go at the front of the bed with a cut out to place the tool box in and seal it as this will allow me to add a bed cover from the aluminum plate to the tailgate. That will allow for carrying bags in bed under a water tight cover. The order I received was damaged to the point that I would not be able to use due to severe scratches, I called and talked to Ashley and she ask if I had photos. She gave me an email to send them to and I received an email back stating that they would replace my shipment with a new order at no cost to me. Thank you Online Metals and Ashley!!!

Seems like everyone posting negative reviews expects this to be something is isnt. What it is: a fast and reliable metal stock supplier. You order online and have it shipped... or specify will call and wait for the email that says its ready (usually the same or following day) and go pick it up. Do this and you will have a pleasant experience and have all your metal needs covered.

Not your normal retail store. All orders and money exchange must be done online. Courteous staff and quick turnover.

Im a custom knife maker and use Online Metals very frequently for my steels. Normally for knifemaking you need to find niche suppliers for my type of materials but it always comes at a higher price and slower fulfillment time. Thats where Online Metals comes in! Theyre quick to ship and always send me precision ground and very flat bars of metal. The brass, copper, and titanium is also top notch quality. Normally my suppliers run out quickly on Titanium but Online Metals always has me covered. With the addition of their discounts they always seem to have I cant think of switching to another supplier for tool steels.Their website is also awesome for finding exactly what you need with the new selection process.RyanLCKT

This site is only for industrial applications where cosmetics are of no importance. I ordered aluminum sheets cut to a custom size for photo mounting; they arrived with tears and gouges along some of the edges -- huge and highly visible. On contacting them about it, they were very responsive and sent out another sheet, but it also suffered from a couple large gouges and had significant curvature around the edges, which the previous ones hadnt. So, I guess theyre trying, but their equipment must not be capable of cleanly cutting aluminum. Would be fine if I was ordering these to weld onto the side of a tractor, but for art, mounting, and any other aesthetically oriented application, Im afraid its not even close.

Crappy service. website implies materials are in stock and arrived at will call shop guys tried to substitute a 12 and 9 foot piece for the 20 foot piece I ordered. Actual delivery at will call was 10-12 instead of next day.Not only that the service counter personnel were angry because I could not take the substitution. Never have I had such bad service by someone who wanted my business.

I have been using online metals for over 8 years, both when I was living out of state and getting materials shipped, and now living in Seattle and using will-call. The service has always been great, the prices are unbeatable. I honestly was shocked to see the average review was as low as it is, and upon further inspection it seems like quite a few people are rating down for really absurd reasons.I have never had a problem with the customer service or materials, and I love the online ordering interface. The selection is also enormous, I dont think I have ever failed to find metal product in stock.You rock onlinemetals, keep doing what you are doing!

Ive purchased several times from Online and usually pick up to save dough. The only down side is their hours are difficult to work around for anyone with a day job. It would be great if Will Call were open just a few hours on Saturday. There are other options in Seattle tho and I just those as well.

Review №87

This place is not worth coming to. I used to buy metal all the time here. But the people arent very friendly and take their sweet ass time anyway. They also quit selling metal without an order a few years ago. You cant just buy scrap anymore. They are very pricey too. Your better bet is Pacific industrial supply or even Metal supermarkets. Both accommodate walk in business.

Review №88

I used to go to order from Online Metals so that I could drop by will call to get copper scrap for jewelry and small hobby work at the same time as picking up orders, but they stopped selling their drops about when the scrap price of copper peaked, probably attracting riffraff scrappers because they were very generous with drop pricing. Unfortunately not worth going to this place any more.

Love these guys! Always friendly, helpful.As a hobbyist who lives in Seattle, I really like their expansive selection and free will-call pickup.
