And GSF is in IL, in case you are ok with going a bit outside of your area codes.

Keep in mind, if the freight seems to high, let us quote it.

Many of our smaller accounts take advantage of this service. I’ve seen many instances where our price was 30-50% less than what the customer would have paid, and we just bill it with the order.

Plus free shipping back over $150.00

Post by: Biverson on June 21, 2018, 12:03:08 AM: I’ve only used Spot color for restretches (also new statices) and GSF for new frames. I’ve had good luck with both but you’ll pay full UPS shipping with GSF whereas you’ll get free or discounted rates from Spot Color. I’m in WI which is aways from Georgia and it’s less for me to get stuff from Spot Color.

Here is an example for you to think about....

Based on (12) 20x24 110 mesh frames at list price.

Return shipping is free either way.

New 20x24 110 is $22.51 (That is $270.12 to your door).

Restretch 20x24 110 is $14.67 + $1.62 Inbound freight (That is $195.48 round trip).

That is a $74.64 savings.

The numbers can vary based on where you are in the country, but restretching is usually cheaper, and the quality is exactly the same. The key is sending in the right quantity of frames. Boxes of 10-12 (23x31) or 12-14 of 20x24 tend to work out the best.
