We've all done it. Call and place the order, get on with your day. It's only when it goes wrong that we think to be more careful.
Of course, if it had been me, for that much material I would have shopped around. The price would have sent up a flag.
I don't know my steel well enough to think that I can properly convey what I want over the phone so I always go in and deal face to face. If I still am not 100% confident the local steel supply has no problem letting me go out and look at what I am buying before placing my order. Yes, I have to come back later to pick up the order but I always get what I want.
I darn sure would not be resting that much weight on the corner of the roof of my pretty cab! Ratchet straps and a Red Flag!
