| MOQ | 25 Metric Tons | Smaller trial orders negotiable; mixed sizes accepted per container |
Ordered 25 tonnes of S235JR channels in mixed sizes for a warehouse extension in Birmingham. When the shipment arrived, about 15% of the bundles had incorrect size labels — the actual dimensions were correct when measured, but the mislabeling caused confusion during unloading and sorting. We raised this with their team and they responded within 24 hours, issued a formal corrective action report, and credited us for the extra labor time. The steel quality itself was fine and met EN 10279. Fair resolution overall.
