Super helpful on the phone, fast delivery
I met these guys 2 years ago at Makers Central they were my stall neighbours but 1 and only got to pop over a couple of times. They all seemed to be knowledgeable and helpful. I finally made an order this week as I didn't have time to drive to my local suppliers.
I made my order on the weekend and then realized there was something else I wanted on Monday so call them up and they were more than happy to help so I made a second order and they put them together for me arrived in just a couple of days will definitely use again.

Rapid Metals Ltd.
They had what I needed 8mm d copper bar which they were able to cut to length as well. The cut lengths were
required to make replacement tips for a soldering iron which they have done admirably price was very reasonable and delivery very swift will keep min mind for further needs.

Rapid Metals are a superb local supplier
Rapid Metals are a very local supplier to me which is great. Their customer service is outstanding. I can ring up to order some metal and if I need it that day they will always make it available for collection a few hours later in my experience with them. I’ve been a customer for a few years now as a hobbyist and they have never let me down. Very pleased with them. They should be very proud as they are a superb company.
