Q: Where is SteelNow located?
A: SteelNow has been a remote-only company since our inception in 2019. This means we do not have a physical warehouse. Instead, our agile approach leverages our vast local supplier network to arrange direct shipments, ensuring speed and efficiency.
Because there are no overhead costs linked to a warehouse, SteelNow can provide our customers with competitive pricing.
Q: How do I pay?
A: If loading items into your cart, you can submit your quote for fulfillment. From there, one of our team members will reach out to confirm the price and availability and take payment. The same process will occur if you call or email a quote request.
We accept credit cards, wire transfers, or checks. You may also apply for credit terms with SteelNow (subject to approval). Unfortunately, cash is not an accepted form of payment.
Payment will be taken in advance to ensure your order will be ready for pick-up or delivery.
Q: Do you speak Spanish or offer Spanish language translation?
A: For our Spanish-speaking customers, we can connect you with a Spanish-speaking representative. Alternatively, please submit a quote request via email, and we can translate and deliver a quote.
Q: Are you available on weekends?
A: Our hours of operation are Monday-Friday from 7 am - 5 pm CST. However, should you need something urgent outside of our normal business hours, please reach out, and our team will be prepared to handle your request at the start of the next business day.
Q: Where do I send an RFQ or materials list of job plans to receive a full quote?
A: You can send your information to SteelNow as follows:
Via email with specific details (e.g., material, shape, dimensions, quantities) to info@steelnow.com
Via phone with specific details (e.g., material, shape, dimensions, quantities) to 713-280-7144
Q: Do you sell used material or scrap?
A: We offer new, raw, or less-than-prime metal products. We do not offer scrap. Less than prime material is defined as metal containing varying degrees of surface rust or is considered surplus mill supply, unused, straight material.
