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!

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... (

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.

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.

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
