Ordered 6 tonnes of S355J2 flat steel, 16mm x 200mm x 9m. About 15% of the pieces had width running slightly over tolerance — measured 202.5mm against the EN 10058 limit. Contacted their support team and they responded within a few hours, offered a credit note and expedited a replacement batch that arrived within 3 weeks. The replacement material was perfect. Mechanical properties on all material were fine. Appreciate that they handled the issue professionally rather than disputing it. Would cautiously reorder with tighter inspection instructions.
