need to buy a load of photo frames.

hi,

a friend is looking to buy A3 frames to exhibit some work. Can anyone recommend somewhere that would have them reasonably priced?

Have tried the usual suspects, but not found anyone who has them :(

Please help if you can,

Thanks in advance

    Have you tried TKMaxx?

    They always have frames of all sizes in our local shop.

    Quite often I see the larger ones in the clearance section as well.

    hi,

    hadn't tried tk maxx. We'll need at least 20, all identical. Don't think tk maxx will be able to supply us with that amount. Our local one is quite small.

    Thanks anyway

    Have you tried wholesalers?

    Or even somewhere like Makro?:confused:

    thanks wurzelsar.

    I went to our Makro store (they didn't have many frames at all & none were big enough).

    I've tried woolies, wilkinsons,argos etc - local art shops (:eek: their prices were scary! :eek:), local warehouse and even ebay. We don't want to spend a fortune on framed prints as we want to use the frames on their own & buying with the prints in is extortionate.

    I've phoned properjob.biz (they don't have any frames). Guess I was hoping someone maybe had details of another online wholesaler that I don't know about. I've tried googling, but feel I'm not making much headway:o

    Thanks for all the help anyway,

    Don't know where you live but we find a shop called All That Jazz in Stockton Heath near Warrington great for frames. There are two shops, its the one near Somerfield that has them.
