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.

If this happens, as in your case, please call 0 800 746 548 (from France or Belgium) or +33 1 77 62 03 44 (from abroad) to find a solution together.

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.

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.

Answer 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

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
