Ordered 150 tons of ASTM A36 I beams in 200mm and 350mm depths for a multi-storey residential framework in Pune. The steel quality was fine — yield strength confirmed at 260 MPa, surface finish was clean black. However, the first shipment was delayed by 11 days due to port congestion issues. Their logistics team communicated proactively and arranged partial air-freight documentation to keep our customs process on track. Second batch arrived on schedule. The problem was handled well, so I'd order again with a slightly longer buffer on timelines.
