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... (

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.

There were scratches on my coin

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...

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

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.

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.

Impossible to show John Steel a cutting error, their site does not record the cuts made in the customer area. Part received does not correspond to my order, and the cut requested does not appear in my customer area, which is normal, as they confirmed over the phone. So... their word against mine. And a few hundred euros lost.

I ordered and received 4 aluminium door covers for a very high price of about 90. I expected to receive a high-quality product with an impeccable finish. This is absolutely not the case, as all 4 plates are scratched and the cut-outs are not even smoothed. This is simply scandalous.

Response from John Steel
Hello, Thank you for your comment. As we discussed over the phone. It's important to pay attention to how the plates may look. The product sheets indicate when there may be scratches, for example. And also, as in your case, that most of our materials come with a PVC film to be removed on installation. If you're not sure which material is right for you, or have questions about how we're going to protect your plates, or about the goods you've received, we'd be delighted to discuss them with you. We'll be happy to discuss it by phone or e-mail :-) Wishing you a pleasant day, Sincerely, John

Very good telephone contact and correct delivery, but the color of the raw steel on the site (brown) is completely different from that of the part received (gray)... The dimensions are correct, but there are also numerous scratches and a 3mm dent caused by an impact on the top of the part. Cdlt,

Response from John Steel
Hello, thank you for your comment. You should know that each material has its own specificities. For example, S355 steel, the one you mention, is a rough material and prone to scratching. We indicate all this on the product pages. If you have any doubts, don't hesitate to contact us, we're here to answer your questions. Sincerely, John

After a satisfactory order, which prompted me to place another order, I was particularly disappointed. The order did not conform to the requested drillings. Apparently in good faith, the after-sales service envisaged a potential malfunction of its online application and asked me to detail precisely the procedure I had followed. I received no reply for 3 weeks. I was given no answer for 3 weeks. I followed up with a reminder, when I understood that our exchanges would be ignored: a dialogue of the deaf with the after-sales service, which, from casualness to relative politeness, can only say one thing: NO, while pretending to be interested in your case.

Response from John Steel
Hello, We're very sorry about your experience and totally understand your frustration. Your e-mail deserved a much quicker response from us. Following your request, we carried out a series of tests to understand whether or not our system could have removed the holes initially drawn. The conclusion is that our system has not suffered any bugs, and that all orders dated 11/09/2022 are compliant and have not suffered any inconvenience. To return to the subject of conformity, the sheet metal you have received conforms to what was transmitted to us on our website. As a result, we are unable to refund the full amount of your order and have offered you a gesture on your next order as a gesture of good faith. To avoid this kind of error, we have made it possible for you to check your part again in the shopping basket and throughout the order process. We're sorry to hear about this incident, but please don't hesitate to contact us on 0800 746 548 to discuss the matter in person. Have a nice day, John

Response from John Steel
Hello, Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, once the parcel has been forwarded to the various carriers, we no longer have the capacity to intervene directly. We do our best to ensure follow-up, even if it means contacting the warehouses directly. Occasionally, difficulties may arise, such as roadworks, loss or damage to storage facilities.... these are all possibilities, as with any parcel sent by us or any other entity. We have recorded less than 1% of this type of case, out of all our shipments over more than a year. Unfortunately, it still happens. Please do not hesitate to contact our customer service department, as measures are in place on our side. The John Steel team is understanding and helpful at any stage of your order. Sincerely, John
