I always purchased my sectional black matte frames at Hobby Lobby. In the store they were always 50% off retail and I could get a set (2) for from $5-7 depending on the size. Now the Hobby Lobby is 1 hour away and their stock is very limited so it takes multiple trips which are not practical especially since I have had surgery and can't bump along in a car.
Does anyone know of a good source in that price range? I thought I had found one and they made up the price difference by huge shipping costs. I live in Missouri.
Thanks and Happy Holidays.

I buy metal frames from
https://www.framesbymail.com/
An economy metal frame size 8x11 is approx $6. They are in MO but I dont know if they charge less if you're closer - they charge 13.5% for shipping but min of $6.95.
They will also do mats+ backing+ Plexiglass if you need it.
I havnt found anything cheaper locally (Denver)
