Low Internet Prices? Not if shipping is involved. Most internet ordered frames start at about $39.95 with shipping included. Our direct comparable frame jobs start at 19.95 and no shipping is involved. Shipping isn't much on small items, but if you have to ship large works of art, it becomes expensive. Most of those "free" shipping costs are added to the framing price so you don't see it. Low overall price? Check the materials involved. Is there true UV-3 protection on just a nominal amount. After all window glass has a UV-3 screening value of 40% and it is useless to prevent fading of printing on paper or fabrics. Best protection is above 90% although 70% screening products work fine if there is little value to the work.. And the frames: are they plastic or wood? Do they have cheap rosin decorations and embellishments likely to scratch easily or even melt? And for gold and silver? Are they foils? Yes similar to Christmas wrapping paper various gold and silver imitation surfaces are applied to inexpensive wood or composite shapes to provide a "look alike" gold or silver traditional frame often with antique looks. They damage easily and often tarnish but they are definitely cheaper. And shipping works to the online framer and having them frame and return ship...risky if fragile or valuable art is involved. Send a digital file? Works for a lot of folks, but just about any local frame shop can provide the same service and you get to proof the print in person which is usually better than depending on a monitor to proof your work from an email attachment. At Best Frame Shops you get to see the actual materials right next to the artwork and when you go to pick up the finished project you can be assured that not only will it get back to you quicker, but the fear of opening a package and finding damage is gone. And we print a lot of work from digital files that are emailed to us or dropped off in a thumb drive.
