I have once or twice via their ebay store, not the cheapest but they were the quickest when I was in a pickle.

One of a couple of places I look at - I've got no complaints from the couple of times I've bought stuff from them.

And I won't sit down. And I won't shut up. And most of all I will not grow up.

I used em last week. As mentioned they're quite expensive compared to normal local stockholders, but they managed to get me a specific imperial size of tubing no one else had stock of which saved me a lot of extra work.
Their service itself was fine, it turned up in 2-3 days without issue.

Yes. Good service. Not too bad on price if you buy the right quantities. Somtimes you find stuff actually costs more to buy a longer length! (Per length ofcourse)
Local stockholders will do it cheaper but online is so much more convenient somtimes.

Yep I've used them for specific sizes of tubing that my local metal merchant didn't stock (CDS tubing specifically). Ordered, metal turned up. No issues.
I've used Hub Le Bas before as well (or I think a subsidiary that used to exist but got merged). Site's a little less amateur-friendly than Metals4U but they have a good selection if you're looking for specific tubing sizes. Think you have to ring up and order, or something like that.

I've also used them. Convenience is the main thing imo.
Always had good service from them.

Yep, used them a fair bit - not the cheapest but very easy to order. Once had them delay an order a couple of days, but they rang and gave me a heads up so no real quibbles.

Used them a fair bit here.
As already said not always the cheapest but their buying options & reliability offset that for me.
One of my orders did arrive short a couple of pieces, quite large pieces at that, but was resolved quickly with a single phone call & the missing steel box sections arrived in a couple of days.
