Excellent Custom Cutting Service

I've been a repeat customer for several years and, as always, metals4U custom cutting service is excellent. My recent order was for 20 plus separate pieces of aluminium square and round bar, angle and sheet which were cut accurately to my own specific lengths/dimensions at no extra charge. Well done metals4U - keep up the good work!

Hello Wendy. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, we appreciate the feedback always. Looking at your order, you ordered a satin polished sheet, which will have a fine grain. A bright polished sheet should have no grain. If however you have received something which does not have a consistent finish; please e-mail us across some photographs and we will make sure this matter is remedied for you as an utmost priority.

Customer service was excellent however…

Customer service was excellent however the spec of the material received was not as advertised. Ordered a length of 4"OD tube with a 1.6mm wall thickness for a specific job. What I received was 4"OD x 1.3mm wall thickness. I phoned to question if there were any expected tolerance and was told the stock would be checked and a replacement order sent out. Replacement received and measured only to find it was 1.4mm.

When questioned again the stock was checked and was told it was 1.5mm. Original order was refunded in full. I then ordered some 4"Od x 3.2mm with a view of turning this down to size. It turned out the 3.2mm wall thickness was 2.8mm. It didn't matter as I still was able to turn it to what I needed but just a little disappointed to not receive the sizes as advertised.

Thank you for your clear and candid feedback, it appears that there have been some issues with your order and I can only apologise for the suboptimal experience. I have asked our warehouse manager to take a look into how this error happened twice. I can see that my colleague James has managed this order throughout and issued a refund on 12th March. I shall pass on your feedback regarding the good service you received from him. Please accept my apologies for the errors made.

Not Good

Firstly the company I believe mislead you in thinking they offer next day delivery. When the items finally arrived they were all damaged, it's not been a good experience with this company and I won't be using them again.

Good Afternoon Jonathan,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and that your items arrived damaged.

To clarify our delivery process, once orders are dispatched, they are sent on a next working day service with our courier, who achieves around 90% on-time delivery. Your order was placed late on 17th February and was delivered on the 5th working day. We sincerely apologise that this was outside of our advised 1–4 working day delivery window.

We also offer a guaranteed delivery option via a dedicated vehicle, which can be arranged by contacting us for a quote.

We have been unable to locate any prior communication regarding the damage reported. So that we can investigate this fully and resolve the issue for you, please email us at info@metals4u.uk along with images of the damaged items.

We would very much appreciate the opportunity to put this right for you.

Kind Regards,
metals4U
