** As of January 1, 2011, USPS, Fedex and UPS have all increased their shipping rates. In addition, the cost of our materials to make a frame have increased. This is the first increase in our frame price since 2003. Still, when compared to Michael's or Hobby Lobby, our cost for a frame is very reasonable. For example, I recently was quoted a price of $ 60 for an 8"x26" frame at Michael's(and this was the 1/2 price sale). Our philosophy is that we would like our customers to purchase a completed gift(mat and frame) at a reasonable and affordable price. **
The frame size needed for any of the mats on this page is an 8" x 20". An additional $4.00 has been added to the price of the frame($17) to pay for the extra shipping costs when we ship frames via Fedex.
Remember, if you decide to add a clip art to your order, your mat size may have to be cut in a longer size(8" x 26"), and therefore you will need an 8" x 26" frame. If this is necessary, your invoice will be adjusted to reflect the additional cost of the longer mat. If you have a question about what size your mat will be with the addition of any clip art, please e-mail me at photomats4u@aol.com.
