Good piece of brass. Made it here quickly and well packaged.
Received in perfect condition and rapidely
So I received the order very well packaged, they must have used half a roll of plastic on it LOL. As well as the hardboard on the outside protecting my aluminum sheets. I really like the fact that when you order on the website they show you what size of plate they cut my sheets out of. I actually increased the size of the plates I needed because it didn't cost me any extra. I needed 9x9 plates but up to 12x12 was the same price so I got larger. Very happy with the way their website and their ordering works.
Received my order sooner than expected
The metal sheet arrived in perfect condition in just 3 working days. Our project required a precise size, and the dimensions were exactly as ordered. There will be no hesitation to order again from this supplier.
I’m so glad I discovered this great little Canadian company. The customer service is excellent and the delivery is extremely fast!! It is awesome to have a shop online that cuts you any lenght of any profile for any canadian DIYers.

Great value
I had been looking for 20mm carbon steel axles for a mini-forklift I am building for some time. For some reason all the pallet jack wheels I could find have 20mm axles and I needed to use those. I asked a friend and he immediately suggested Metals 'R' Us. I placed an order on a Sunday and had the material Wednesday. It fits perfectly! Now I have to spend a few days welding ...
Metals R Us helped our company out when in a jam. Product was easy to find, shipped promptly, and arrived as described. We will definitely be using Metals R Us in the future - highly recommended.
good delivery and aluminium ok
The staff here are very friendly and helpful. The material was exactly what i was looking for. I will be doing lots of business with them in the future.
Metal showed exactly as ordered
I couldn't find the product locally in Vancouver so when I searched online and came across Metals R Us had stock and was able to get it to me in 3 days from the other side of the country, i was pretty impressed. Thanks

Good quality, well packaged, arrived without a scratch
great piece of copper
Nice clean piece of steel that was well wrapped for shipping
Good value for dollar, most places offering much thinner material for the same price. Was well packaged and shipped quickly. I will buy from here again, its actually easier that going to my local metal store who is so slow you can almost waste a morning there waiting! Time is $$, so plan ahead and order for those small jobs.
Order was processed and shipped quickly. Shipping was reasonable and the package arrived in a timely manner. Pieces were cut to length and deburred, ready to go. I don’t have a place where I can buy small order quantities.
Good prices, high quality and very fast delivery who could ask for more -certainly not me
Was as described and arrived in 3 days. It is hard to find a company that will sell small orders and this is appreciated thanks.
A1, great items cut at the right size. Would order again!

About our aluminum
Most aluminum projects start and end with 6061: it machines clean, welds well, and holds up outside. It's most of our aluminum shelf for a reason, nearly all of it T6. Forming or bending sheet? 5052 takes a bend without cracking. Anodized trim or architectural work? That's 6063 extrusion. We also keep 3003 sheet for general fab.
You're covered on shapes: flat bar, round bar, square bar, hex bar, angle, channel, sheet, pipe, and square and rectangular tube. Pick a size, type your length in inches, and we cut to ±1/8″ and ship anywhere in Canada. Not sure which alloy fits? Call 902-468-1112 and we'll talk it through.
Which aluminum alloy should you buy?
6061-T6, unless you've got a reason not to. It's strong enough for brackets, frames, jigs, and machined parts, it welds, and it handles weather without paint. The exceptions are worth knowing: bending sheet wants 5052, anodized trim and visible edges want 6063, and budget sheet fab is 3003's whole job.
| Alloy | We stock it as | Buy it for |
|---|---|---|
| 6061-T6 | Most shapes on the rack | Brackets, frames, machined parts, anything with a bolt through it |
| 6063-T5 | Angle, channel, and tube profiles | Railings, trim, enclosures, edges people see and touch |
| 5052-H32 | Sheet | Sheet that gets bent or formed without cracking |
| 3003 | Sheet | General fab, liners, and patch panels |
Torn between the two sixes? Our 6061 vs 6063 guide puts the numbers side by side with June 2026 prices. New to buying aluminum? The full aluminum buying guide covers alloys, tempers, and shapes in one read.
What shapes can you get cut to length?
Why build with aluminum instead of steel?
Weight. Aluminum runs about a third the weight of steel, so anything you lift, carry, tow, or bolt to a vehicle gets easier to live with. The honest trade: it's softer, it dents sooner, and a 6061 bracket usually needs more section than the steel one it replaces. If the part bolts to a trailer or a boat, that trade is usually worth making.
Will aluminum corrode?
Not the way steel does. It forms its own oxide skin and stops there, so uncoated 6061 outdoors just goes dull grey and keeps working. Near salt water it can pit over time: rinse it occasionally, and put 316 stainless fasteners through it rather than plain steel. If looks matter, anodizing is the finish, and 6063 anodizes the cleanest.
