Reasonably priced, especially on some of the bargain deals. Very quick delivery, well packed and supported. Cut to convenient lengths/sizes. Rapid Metals are my go to supplier, I live in a rural area... See more

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.... See more

Amazing service!
Amazing service!! First time ordering from Rapid Metals. The prices are very competitive for a hobbyist such as myself. The ordering process was easy. My order was custom cut and delivered within a few days.
Unfortunately, the courier damaged a piece of steel tube in the order. And I always say you find out more about a company when something goes wrong.
I emailed Rapid Metals with photos of the damaged item. I got a reply from Natasha within about 10 minutes!!! Amazing! Apologies were made and was told “not a problem, we will ship you a replacement ASAP”.
I really wish more companies were like this as it seems these days you have to battle for good customer service. But not with Rapid Metals! They will definitely be getting repeat custom from me!
