I ordered a stainless steel plate (73 cm diameter) from the "John Steel" site, cost: €586.00. This plate is obviously non-conforming, with a central deformation formed by a 1.5 mm hollow that is perfectly visible on the photos I sent them. In spite of this, "John Steel" refused to take back the plate for exchange - here's their reply: "Your plate remains in conformity with the factory specifications. The deviation you have noted is minimal, and is within the norms." It would therefore appear that the obvious deformation, in the form of a bowl rendering the plate unusable, is a normal compliance for "John Steel"!!!! Which is, of course, totally unacceptable. Let's hear it!

Response from John Steel
Hello,

We understand your disappointment and are sorry that the product did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to point out that the plate you ordered complies with the factory conformity standards defined in our General Sales Conditions, available on this page: https://www.john-steel.com/fr/content/3-conditions-generales-de-vente. As mentioned in our previous exchanges, the deviation of 1.5 mm remains within acceptable technical tolerances for this type of stainless steel product, as established by manufacturing standards. It is important to note that for this type of custom order, slight variations can sometimes occur and remain within accepted manufacturing tolerances.

We assure you that customer satisfaction is our priority, and we are always available to discuss possible solutions. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like more information, or to discuss how we can help you.

Yours faithfully
The John Steel team

The order went well, but I took 15mm steel, so don't expect a precise cut. Probably better with thinner steel, but now I'll have to cut all 216 holes again to get something clean. So I'm not very happy... (

Perfectly cut, but it's a pity that one side has large stripes. Fortunately, this side will not be visible from the outside.
Translated reviews
Response from John Steel
Hello Jean-Marie,

Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted that you like the cut. We apologize for the frosted marks on one side. As raw aluminum is an untreated material, there are some plates that may have slight scratches or marks that can settle on them unfortunately. If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to contact us. We'll do our best to satisfy you.

Sincerely, John Steel.

The parcel conforms to my order and is very well packaged.... but TNT has made this experience very bad: TNT called me to tell me that they couldn't find my address (Amazon, Chronopost ... have no problem), and this without even going out...and they left the parcel with me in a shop more than 20 kms away (there and back). Having paid for home delivery, I find this way of treating customers deplorable! Change delivery company!

Response from John Steel
Hello Gilles,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that the parcel was as you ordered and that the packaging met your expectations. However, we are sorry to hear that the delivery did not live up to your expectations.

We fully understand your frustration with TNT's delivery service. It is unacceptable that you had to travel such a long distance to collect your parcel, especially after paying for home delivery. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.

We take your feedback on the services of our delivery partners very seriously. Please be assured that we will immediately report your experience to TNT to prevent this type of situation from recurring in the future.

Sincerely, John Steel.

There were scratches on my coin
Translated reviews
Response from John Steel
Hello Elsa,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your recent order. We're sorry to hear that your piece arrived with scratches.

We would like to inform you that, as stated in the product sheet, the raw material used for this piece has a 95% probability of arriving with scratches. This is due to the nature of the material and the manufacturing process. We make a point of detailing this information in the product description so that our customers are fully aware of what to expect.

Thank you for your understanding.

Yours sincerely, John Steel.

I ordered a small steel plate to make the top of a table: it arrived scratched and with impressions of cogs that must have been placed on it. No protective film was affixed to it, even though this is clearly indicated on the website. No doubt I must have benefited from a fall that must have been lying around...

Very satisfied with my purchase and the availability of your very attentive service. The only downside was the lack of tracking for the delivery that was supposed to arrive on a Tuesday. I waited all day without any message from Geodis. The delivery man came the next day and said the goods hadn't arrived!
Translated reviews
Response from John Steel
Thanks for your comment :-)

Indeed, we had noticed this lack of communication from Geodis.
Goods must be delivered to the nearest depot before 6am.
Otherwise, it cannot be included in the morning round.

The tracking system will indicate this and you should receive a text message from them.
We'll pass the information on to you next time.

Best regards,
JOHN

No cutting, no squaring. Not precise up to 2mm difference. And disgusting cut not neat not clean. All this for an expensive price. For that price, you'd think you were getting impeccable quality.

I didn't understand that raw steel meant that the part would arrive very marked with scratches 1 mm deep.
Translated reviews
Response from John Steel
Good day to you,
Thank you for your comment and feedback.

Indeed, it is important to understand what the material is.
In the case of a raw material, which is a material without PVC film.
It will be scratched, it's almost inevitable.

That's why the choice of material is so important, and our team is happy to advise you according to your needs.
Don't hesitate to give us a call or use our contact form.

Best regards,
John

The product conforms to the order but the delivery was deplorable. No compensation offered.
Translated reviews
Response from John Steel
Thank you for your comment.

Unfortunately, in times of high demand, carriers tend to simplify their deliveries.
To do this, they use point-relays for items that are scheduled for home delivery.

We try to prevent this, but our remedies are limited.

Rather well done interface, but I received parts that didn't conform to the preview and to my expectations (wrong brushing direction for stainless steel). Apparently it's my fault, so too bad for me. I'm going to have the parts redone, but elsewhere :-(

late with prompt payment
Translated reviews
Response from John Steel
Thank you for your comment.
D+3 is an option that prioritizes your order in production.
The aim is to produce within 3 days (24 hours on average).

Unfortunately, sometimes an order takes a long time to process and is dispatched after 3 days, with the transport involved, which gives the impression of a long lead time.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if your order takes a long time to process, so we can try to speed things up.

Be careful with CORTEN. It's a metal that comes unoxidized and needs time to obtain its particular shade. I invite you to visit our blog, where you'll find lots of tips, including for Corten ;-) Best regards, JOHN
