Cheap Custom Picture Frames? - microchip - 12-09-2008
I've got two of these pictures(If you must ask, they are two giant pictures of my senior class.).
They are 24x10 inches.
Michaels wants $60 a frame. The company that took the pictures wants $40 a frame.
I'm thinking there's gotta be some somewhat shady chinese company that has custom frames(or at least 24x10) for dirt cheap.
Anyone?

Just found framesbymail.com which claims it can do it for $17 with glass...
Anyone dealt with them?

Michael's frequently runs 50% off framing coupons in the local (Chicago) papers. If you aren't in a rush, maybe keep your eye open to see if one shows up in your area.

The price I mentioned was with Michael's 60% off on black friday...

If you are going for an aluminum section frame (individual pairs - Neilson or similar )
Hobby Lobby is fairly cheap if you just need a few.
Most of the really cheap places I order from have a $100 minimum which is fine if you are framing a bunch
but not so good if you only need a couple.

I would not recommend Michael's (at least not the nearest one we went to). We had a large poster framed and they couldn't even get the poster flat behind the glass...
