    hi, first post. ordered 50 lbs of antimonial lead and got 50.17lb without the "weight check" because i forgot to put it in. also ordered 1bar of superhard and 1lb of tin popcorn, both of those were within .01/lb and the packing and shipping time were excellent

    Hi all did not know where to post this and this looked like a good place . I placed my first order with rotomatals last week of 1 ingot of 30% 70% superhard and 1lb of antimony . (So I can harden the lead I have been scavenging )It was shipped in a flat rate box . When I received the order 3 days later (just outside of Houston TX)
    the box had been somewhat damaged .(Not rotometals fault box was mishandled during shipping) I opened the box at the mailbox and some of the antimony fell out . (not much) I sent them an e-mail at 10pm central time midnight their time and did not expect any reimbursement as there wasn't much loss and I should not have been opening the box on the side of the street . In the e-mail I was honest with them and let them know what happened . I received a response within 30min (great response time seeing it was after hrs. and after midnight their time) Ryan asked if I still had the box and if I could take a picture of it and e-mail it to him? I gladly did and sent the picture shortly after and mentioned again that I opened it at the mailbox and did not expect anything . He responded right back and apologized for the damage to the box and he would be sending me something. I checked the mail today and there was a bigger box from guess who ? (Rotometals ) I opened the box (it was well packed) and there was a big chunk of antimony . I put it on the scale and it was right at 1lb ..
    The ingot of superhard I received from the original order weighs in right at 5lbs
    I will be ordering from them again and am happy with the product and customer service. I also feel if I place an order and it came up a little short and notified them they would be more than happy to make it right . I give them 2 thumbs up ..

    How will you be melting down your antimony? Doesn't it melt @1100 degrees?

    As with all our components lead is too expensive nowadays but I have had nothing but good fortune with RotoMetals. So far I've never been shorted. I got my latest order two days ago. I ordered it on a Friday and it was on my porch by Monday. Can't beat that. It was well packed, a box inside a box with plenty of packing material to take up the slack so the bars didn't bounce around. Upon weighing the shipment I discovered it weighed 8/10 of a pound more than it should have. So I'm happy with them. Also, I'm glad we can still get lead. All other components are unavailable here now.
