A frustrating experience has made me rethink my approach to framing. Yesterday I called Graphix Dimensions (pictureframes.com) to buy three large frames (involving lengths between 42 - 50"), only to find that above and beyond the regular shipping fee they wanted wanted to further impose a $25 oversize fee for each frame. As they were merely going to ship the unassembled segments, I argued that the segments of three frames could fit into one box, but in vain.
So now I want to explore buying 8' lengths of molding to make my own, especially for the larger pictures. Skill with a saw is not something I possess, but I've got a man that can cut the lengths for me, so that it's only a matter of assembling them.
I'd like to find a place to buy the molding that is local to me, anywhere within the Philadelphia metropolitan area, using the term broadly. Buying outside the area would bring shipping costs into the equation again. Obviously, too, I am looking for a place with good prices.
Does anyone have information they can share?
