What clients say about Schupan & Sons, Inc. in Kalamazoo (MI)
I have been waiting for 5 weeks to get a check for them and received nothing but static the check came back and they sent another check I have been waiting a week and I’m told I have to wait another 3 weeks I’m not waiting I’m calling the the police
Don't take your scrap load here. Kalamazoo Metal Recyclers is paying $.10 per pound. Went to Schupan today and they only paid $.025 per pound. What a ripoff!
They are a total rip off. I literally stripped my copper wire down, and I weigh it every couple days and see how much I get. I’d literally do it just as a side hustle, and I literally weighed my copper on a scale and I have test weights to make sure my skills are right and I know it’s 100% right Grams 7000 g +2500 g is not 6 pounds
They were very helpful and the guys working there were very respectful and nice. I had a small amount of metal to recycle and the guys there were patient with me and very courteous. The place has clear signage as you drive up to the building on where to go to begin the dropoff. The inside was clean and I was in and out of there in about 10 minutes.
We love the guys there at shupan. Great work environment always busy and still manage to joke and work. Daniel and Randy are great people. Never a bad thing since we came here.
This place is a rip off. They are not the only game in town. I had a very bad experience there most recently. I have been scraping for years now. They tried to rip me off big time.
I took in 9 leef bags of aluminum cans. They had me load them in big steel cart's and rolled them on the scale. Alot of the cans were crushed and they gave me a total weight of 84 pounds. I would say that one bag weighed at least 20 to 25pounds . Needless to say I believe they paid less than half. I received 26.00$ I'll never take anything there again. Can't say I wasn't warned.
Absolutely love this place. The guys work hard and still find time to answer any questions and help in any way. I would recommend shupan & sons to anyone. Keep up the good work guys.
I called before I went to check price. When I got there they quoted me a price less than half before even seeing what I had so it's not like I had inferior scrap. When I asked why the price was different they told me that they would never quote me the original price and that I was wrong. They basically lied to me and wasted over an hour of my time driving.
Just to post an update. I took the exact same material to another scrap yard and walked away with a check for over a thousand dollars. Schupan just wasted my time I guess it's their loss as I know how much money they make off of reselling scrap.
If you claim to be open be open if you plan to be closed then make it known you have a phone service a website and a building to post signs on or in so try being professional. Leaving bunches of customers waiting outside for no reason because your not going to serve them but not have any onetell them they are all wasting their time that's not acceptable at all.
The only downside is that their website and phone message didn't list their Saturday hours or location. The scrap metal is at a different location, Glendening Rd.
Also, the gentleman that helped us was very helpful. He helped us back up to the scrap bay and made sure there wasn't any nails. He also helped us unload out truck.
Very friendly staff.
The price was $60.00 A net ton.
Overall, it was a good experience.
The intercom on the scales doesn't work so the office can't communicate with you unless they walk out to your truck.
The website says you open at 7:30am, but when I showed up at 7:40am, I was told you don't open until 8am and to get off the scale.
I could have easily been served at 7:40am, as I had shred steel and at 8:10am, was told to dump it right past the scale.
Fix the intercom, serve people when you open or change the time on your website and be nicer/of service to those who are bringing you the scrap that your business is built on.
