I used to buy from Light Impressions. Everyone knows the downhill course there. They used to be good quality but now they are crooks. Anyway, I routinely frame a number of photos for display and need a reliable source for materials. I found one in Frame Destination:
http://www.framedestination.com/
Last year, I ordered ~100 Nielson Frames from them. I just went through an additional 30. The website for ordering is a little confusing, but it is always a little confusing to order frames and mat board, especially if the windows are custom cut. They have always been very prompt with emails and very clear with communication. I bought some frames with uncut mat board and some with custom windows. All the board was Alpha Rag 4 and 8 ply.
The frames come completely assembled with acrylic glazing, foam backer, mat board, window mat. They are packed perfectly (very impressive) and I have not had a single damaged item. The aluminum frames are cut well and clean. The acrylic has protective plastic which comes off in one pull - others I have used are a nightmare to remove. The mat board is very high quality. The custom windows in 8-Ply mat board are perfect. The shipping is reasonable. The prices are fair and include a bulk discount.
I like being able to buy all of my materials in one place for framing. This is the place. I give them an A+. So if anyone is looking for the Anti-Light Impressions, this is it.
