Please call to let us know when your material is coming when turn-around time is critical. Purchase orders should be marked "Expedite" if you need your order in a rush, along with any other special instructions. We will work with you on the fees.

Yes, however, it's usually best for our customers to arrange their own drop off and pick up.

What is your standard operating procedure?
At Emerald, our processes are simple. Wait times are short, and our customer service is stellar. When you walk into our small family-style business, you are appreciated & treated with respect.
1. Customers should email PO's to egalvinc@outlook.com -Emails are replied to as soon as possible with a price & lead time. We respond to most email within just a few minutes.
2. Orders are received in our yard & tagged with the customer's information. We do not weigh parts when we receive them, or count the pieces - Unless the customer has specified they wish to pay labor fees for this type of work.
3. The parts are prepped, processed, cooled, inspected for quality, finished, weighed, wrapped, and re-tagged with the customer's information; then we call the customer when it's ready to be picked up. Galvanizing adds approximately 5% to the weight of the order. Orders are charged a price per lb, based on the type of part, type of steel, handling time needed, and difficulty. A formula is used to calculate the lowest price for the customer.
4. The customer picks up their order and is emailed an invoice. For C.O.D. orders, please bring a check or cash when picking up your order. We prefer payment by check. If not paying with a check, please allow about 15 minutes time for our office to process your paperwork and get any change due to you.
5. Payment receipts, invoices, and conformance letters are sent out by email as soon as possible. To request a letter of conformance, please email bookkeeping at officegalv@gmail.com or call us.
