Good customer service early pick up
I ordered 6 pieces of metal on Friday 20th after closing time, asked if it was possible for me to pick it up at around 13:00 on the 24th 1.5 working days, as I was near by for a car being serviced. My car service finished early and I was able to pick it up just after 11:30. Good customer service, they also carried it to the car for me. Thank you.

All straight forward.
Ordered it, picked it up, straight forward enough. Only slight issue is the “collection option” on the website is a little obscure.

I'm sorry to see you have experienced some delays when shopping with our Nuneaton branch. Without more information about you it's difficult to trace your order and look into what could have caused the delays. Feel free to reach out via email and the team will be happy to look into this further for you. You can reach them here; onlinesales@rapidmetals.co.uk

Hi Darshana
I'm so sorry to see you have given us a 1 star review due to the time it has taken to receive your order. I have had a look into this and I can see that you opted for store collection rather than delivery, which is why it hasn't reached you yet.
If you selected this by mistake, we will be happy to ship the order instead? I will contact you directly to arrange in case you don't see this response.

Got just what I wanted.
It is easy to navigate the sales site for exactly what you need, and I was amazed to find the exact seamless steel tube I needed for a repair on a 1940's motorbike, correct OD and wall thickness too. Easy to order and pay, and ready for collection within a couple of days, where I was in and out in no time. Excellent service, excellent product at the right price.
