Personally I think their prices are great. Some people say they are over rated/prices, but I think it's fine.
Tons of rem. and random "buy by the weight" stock. That's mainly what I buy along with 1-3/4" .120 wall dom at less than $3 per foot.

I shop the irvine location.

IMS is steep.... unless you have a shop account and buy often...

The good thing about IMS, is they are pretty much unbeatable when it comes to selection, and theyre open saturdays.

Yup, even when buying in bulk they still play with the pricing... We now use Benner Metals (Long Beach / Anaheim) almost exclusively, smaller shop with better pricing and way better service than IMS... At least for us.

IMS does have a good rem selection though if thats what you are into.

We use them for more aluminum now days, they store the metal outside and they get flash rust. Benner is stored inside, they also will give test reports and source where as Patton wont say domestic or not.

In San Diego area, I use Competitive Metals, they almost exclusively stock US steel, and their prices are great. They're also open on Saturdays and are 2 miles from my house. Plus they're XJ guys.
