Hi Tom, I know what you mean. I just literally had an email from someone in the U.K. about 5 minutes ago. The problem is that the frames don't weigh much, but they are large and the boxes have to ship air and they are considered oversize and the cost is astronomical. Believe me, I have tried everything I can think of. There are other issues also. Remember, though, that $30 frame costs over $150 here in the states. It is just that I offer them to fellow collectors for wholesale cost and I am the largest purchaser of the UV filtered plexiglass on the west coast, so the plexiglass, which is the most expensive component of the frame, is very low cost because of the quantity I buy. So, in all fairness to "retail" frame shops, they do have to make a profit. So..........sorry guys. This one we can blame on the exorbitant prices of the shipping companies.
