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.

Hello, thank you for your comment. Given your order, there must be a confusion between cm and mm, please note that the site is entirely in mm. I always invite you to check your order (with us or any other internet order for that matter) and if in doubt, you can contact us. We can be reached by the various means indicated on the site. Sincerely, John

The delivery times announced at the time of the order are not respected (one week late) and nobody warns you of a possible delay, I would not recommend you? Sincerely

Response from John Steel
Hello, Thank you for your comment. We are sorry for the delay. The factory has suffered two events that have completely blocked our production. We have sent an explanation e-mail to those affected, which may have fallen into your spam folder. Please be aware that our deadlines are our priority and that, except in very exceptional situations, we tend to deliver ahead of schedule. Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience caused, and we invite you, and anyone else who may be concerned, to contact Customer Services with any questions you may have. We have a competent team on hand to answer any queries you may have. Sincerely, John

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.
Translated reviews
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

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

The product I paid for arrived late and badly made, so I asked for help by e-mail and never got an answer. It was a project for my end-of-year exam, which I didn't pass. Thank you for giving me an explanation and compensation Cordially

unable to deliver a small 17cm square stainless steel plate on time
Translated reviews
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

Response from John Steel
Hello, thank you for your comment. Indeed, the current state of the raw materials market has forced us to increase our prices. But our case is not isolated: you'll find that most of our competitors have increased their prices. I invite you to inform yourself about current inflation in the metalworking and industrial sectors. We are aware that such an increase may upset some of our customers, and we apologize for this. Sincerely, John

Scratched and deformed object, the answer given by sav is that I ordered the wrong sheet metal, but nothing is clearly indicated on the site when ordering.
Translated reviews
Response from John Steel
Thank you for your comment. Indeed, the choice of material is a crucial moment. The fact that we offer a customization service means that no retraction is possible. That's why we offer a before/during/after sales service. Don't hesitate to contact us, we'll get back to you as soon as possible with the answers to your questions. You'll find all the information you need on our materials in the associated product sheets. It's important to consult them carefully when you're unsure about metal or wood materials. We're sorry, however, if the products are not to your liking. Have a nice day. John

2 sheet metal plates ordered, laser primer impact on edge of one plate. Suggested solution: spray with acetone!
Translated reviews
Response from John Steel
Hello, thank you for your comment. Acetone (thinner version) is very effective for glue traces. We ask you to use it to clean the plate so that you can see it more clearly. If there is indeed a defect, we invite you to send us visuals and we will systematically contact you to find a solution.

Hello, thank you for your feedback. As explained to you on the phone and mentioned in the product data sheet, pearlized aluminum can be scratched to varying degrees. Depending on your project, it's advisable to choose film-coated sheet metal for an aesthetic and tip-top finish ;-)
