Great service, speedy delivery and value for money for 1 metre of 12.7mm brass round tube. This type of tube is a staple product for our business "George Juniper" and this is the first time we have used 1st Choice Metals Ltd. We will definitely be back for more of their products.
Aluminium plate was cut perfectly to the size I orderedWell packaged and delivered when they said it would beFirst class serviceWill be ordering again from them for sure
!st Choice Metals did exactly what they promised and the product arrived well wrapped and to exactly the right size.Unfortunately, although it was posted on time for 24 hour delivery the Royal Mail did not deliver it for 2 days. Disappointing, but I guess sending it by courier would have cost more.
Ordering on the website was easy, great you can get material cut to size and quick delivery. Everything arrived as ordered and even when we made an error they were quick to support returning the items. Couldn't fault them and since first order we have ordered more. Such a great company to do business with. Any questions just ask them as easy to talk with.
Truly excellent service for such a small job!I needed some small rectangular aluminium sheets made up to use as Tiller Hoods to fix the tiller to the rudder for a Mirror Dinghy! The 1mm thick 200mm x 100mm sheets were just £1.07 each excluding vat and as the postage was 3x that amount I decided to order 10 for future projects! 1st Choice Metals provided a superb very cost effective service and cut the sheets with quick delivery.I am truly delighted with them.
Easy to navigate website and hassle free purchase. Excellent customer service when item delivered was damaged by delivery service, replaced immediately without fuss. I hope they got compensation from courier.
Fast and friendly staff, use them for materials for work and never had a problem with supply. The cutting service is a big help too, I can just order what i need, pick it up and fit, no faffing about.
I bought a plate of brass 3mm thick to be used on a drawing board. It was dispatched very quickly and packaged against a wooden board in order that it didn’t get damaged. Brilliant service, thank you.
