Online store allows for greater efficiency and elimination of minimum order requirements and expansion into the long tail of the copper and connector markets.

"Until the launch of our online store we needed to impose a large minimum order, which turned away many smaller customers".
"Our new e-commerce site allows us to process orders much more efficiently thereby allowing us to virtually eliminate the need for a minimum order amount".
The new website features product areas such as copper sheet and foil, copper bar, ground bars, punched copper bar, copper bar with threaded holes, cable assemblies and standoff insulators.
Sheila Stone, Customer Service Manager at Storm Copper Components explains: "Often a homeowner, electrical contractor, or artisan will need a short piece of copper bar or sheet".
"There just aren't that many suppliers willing to cut a full length copper bar or sheet for someone needing 12 inches of material".
"It is great to have products that are unique and traditionally difficult to locate".
A recent customer from San Jose, California writes: "Thanks to you and the people at Storm Copper".
"I know I am small potatoes, but this is for a present for my daughter so it is important to me".
"I couldn't find a source for copper bar in California, either online or at a store".
"Again, you are a lifesaver".
Over 1600 unique products are available for purchase on the e-commerce site.
The vast majority of those items are in stock and ship the next business day after order.
Customers who have already purchased from the site include: manufacturers, design engineers, electrical contractors, hobbyists, interior decorators, ham radio operators, home builders and craft artisans.
