How it works

Sourcing, start to finish

1 Tell us what you needspecs in, guesswork out

Material, grade, shape, and dimensions. A spec sheet or a drawing helps; so does a photo of the worn-out part you're replacing. Send it through the quote form, call 902-468-1112, or email sales@metalsrus.ca.

2 We shop it aroundmultiple suppliers, one quote

We take your spec to our suppliers, gather quotes, and price the best option, including freight to your door or to our shop first. Want it cut before it ships? The saws are right here: sourced stock can leave our dock already cut to your lengths.

3 You approve, we orderquotes valid 14 days

You get one number with the lead time attached, and nothing is ordered until you say go. Local material can land in a few days; specialty mill items can run up to three weeks. Most sourced orders are ready to ship or pick up in 7-10 days.

Range

What we source

If it's metal, we'll chase it. Titanium, Galvalume sheet, zinc, niobium, tool steels beyond the O1 we shelve, marine grades, oversize plate, specific tempers, obsolete sizes for repair work. The wall below is real requests: if your spec is stranger than niobium, we still want to see it.

Straight talk

Some metals only come in random lengths (R/L), so the piece that arrives may run longer than the spec. When that applies we quote on the longest possible length and tell you before you commit. No surprises on the invoice.

Questions

Sourcing FAQs

How is the price decided?

We gather quotes from multiple suppliers whenever we can and pass along the best option. You see the price before anything is ordered.

How long does sourcing take?

Local material can land in a few days; specialty mill items can take up to three weeks. Most sourced orders are ready to ship or pick up in 7-10 days, and your quote includes the lead time for your specific material.

How do I submit a request?

Request a quote online, call 902-468-1112, or email sales@metalsrus.ca. Include the material, grade, shape, and dimensions and we'll do the rest.

Any fees I should know about?

No sourcing fee. The one thing to know: some metals only come in random lengths (R/L), so we quote on the longest possible length. We flag it upfront whenever it applies.

Can you cut sourced material before it ships?

Yes. Sourced stock can run across our saws first, so it arrives cut to your lengths and ready to use. Just say so in the request.
