Fabricators Are Already Placing Q4 Orders to Beat Fall Lead Times

Post Copy

Labor Day tends to mark a shift for a lot of our regulars. Shops that were running on as-needed orders through the summer start locking in material for Q4 jobs right about now, and there's a good reason for it.

Lead times from larger distributors tend to stretch as the year winds down and everyone's trying to close out projects before winter. Ordering ahead means you're not stuck waiting on material while a job sits half finished.

Because we carry over 8,000 metal types, shapes, and grades in stock right here in Marietta, a lot of what you need is already sitting on our racks, no lead time required. That's a real advantage when a project deadline is closing in.

Are you already thinking about Q4 material needs, or still playing it project by project? Visit metalsupermarkets.com/location/atlanta-northwest/ or call (770) 218-0550 to check what we have on hand.
