I have purchased metal supplies from On Line Metals in the past, and am now in need of more metal. The shipping fees at OLM are at amazingly high, rip-off levels (my 10 pound order would be charged about $300 to ship via cheapest option to Hawaii). Even shipping to a specialty Hawaii forwarder would net out to about $85 total shipping costs.
I am looking for an alternative supplier that has provided satisfactory service. Any suggestions? (I realize I can go to Ebay &/or Amazon looking for item-by-item purchases, but I wanted to see if anyone had other favorable suggestions for a multi-product online metals supply. BTW, I am shopping for nickel-silver rods for turning accent rings and finials, and flat (sheet) stock for fabricating clips. Also some brass rod and tube stock for internal (unseen) pen parts.
Thanks very much!
