I'm local to MK Metals & been there a couple of times, as above it's absolute chaos, not sure how they keep going? I don't use them now. Tony

I think it is like many an on-line business – boasts it sells everything in the world, and a big disappointment if you go there. It was a very small portakabin used as an office with broken down buildings. We went hunting for the metal I wanted amongst this, one building having doves in the roof with the consequence of shite on the metal below. That said, I did get what I wanted and I think the on-line trade worked OK.
Maybe it has gone. Could he be taking advantage of small-business handouts from the chancellor? Sadly MK is in tier 4 now so, taking all things into account, credit card refund and going somewhere else looks best solution.
