Cking samples, the moulding looks great, how about pricing, delivery, etc? Any info would be very useful. I know they only sell by the box, which is okay, but are they competitive with other suppliers, and if not which ones would you recommend for volume buying?
Framerica info, experiences, etc

I get some of my Framerica through LJ, since I don't want to do volume buying at this point. But I'm selling more and more so am considering it.

Price is great and so is quality if you are not expecting it to compare with the same look in a similar real wood. LJ had just added several more colors and profiles to their stock.
Buying by the box from Framerica is less if you are going to order enough boxes to offset the shipping costs. Be sure to also check out their clearance/discon. line for some great deals for you Value Line.

Jeff if you want any framerica pricing ask me and i will give it to you. I have an account with them. Just give me the framecode and then you can compare with what you are paying for it.:smiley:
I absolutely love it, both my local wholesaler and LJ carries it. Easy to work with, beautiful finishes, never a shortage. To me some of it looks like its not real wood, but as long as I don't hear a complaint from my clients, whatever.
Jeff, I am at home and do not have my pricing here but I know I have looked it over and for me, in the midwest, it comes out pretty much the same per foot if I order from LJ with no shipping charges as it does with Framerica with shipping. You are closer to Framerica so shipping costs may not be as much of a factor.
Before I switched to LJ for my Framerica I was ordering at least 5 bxs at a time to show a better price per foot including shipping costs and I used that a base for comparison. Ordering from LJ I sometimes get it faster (depending on what I order) and it helps boost my sales and my rep's sales with LJ. I can get any Framerica moulding from LJ, they order boxes for me that they do not carry in stock.
Those who work with me to get my business will get my business and Scott from LJ has shown that he wants my business, at this time I do not think that I would go back to ordering direct from Framerica.

Not that there is nothing wrong with Framerica direct, I still talk to Paul at Framerica and he does make sure that both Scott and I have all of the info that I need when I need it.
