This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
In La Harpe, KS, Rays Metal Depot scores 88/100: sentiment is strongly positive about friendly, professional staff and an owner who treats people right. Prices are widely seen as fair to great, with deals; note cash-only and ID checks for certain scrap. Inventory is broad—metals plus pull-your-own parts from cars, trucks, machinery, and motorcycles—and the well-organized yard makes browsing easier. Many report finding parts quickly, though a few couldn’t. Complaints are rare but sharp: unhelpful guidance for a visitor and a disputed scrap misweigh/underpayment. Little is mentioned about wait times.
What clients say about Rays Metal Depot in La Harpe (KS)
Extremely terrible service couldn't tell me where the car was just tell me where to walk you won't help you drove an hour here and breed as hell how can you go home with nothing
Lots of metals for projects, bring cash, (no digital transactions) & if you recycle cans, you'll have to provide your car license & drivers license number, no kidding..
Love this place . Me and my husband go almost every weekend . The staff is amazing ! Prices are amazing and a good selection to choose from! We drive from chanute!
Professional people, and fair pricing. Aluminum cans, copper, shred steel, tin/appliance prices all fair. Catalytic converter prices are also good, but they only take them if you can prove their not stolen. Thank God there's still honest people in the world. Not a complaint about the place.
Sold 26 lbs of dirty copper as brass. Clean copper sold as dirty, I had weight on the scale and it still registered as -1 lb and I mentioned it. I was shorted at least $25 (1/4 pay per weight) on mismarked metal. We had the same problem last time and we just said may be a new guy. But when Ray himself did this I take it personal. I've been taking scrap there off and on for 20+ years and I won't be back, this business has severely gone down hill in the past year.
