Parcel Monkey are who we use - made the mistake of using UPS twice, what a nightmare. Granted we don't send fragile items via Parcel Monkey but they haven't lost anything and their system is quick and easy to use. We couldn't even get a copy invoice for 3 months from UPS - total pain.

2 free orders are available for Framers Forums members who register their businesses with us.

If it helps some, I am one of those who still looks up Yellow Pages. Not so much the printed book, but I use the website.

I'm Yasmin and I tend to lurk here a lot because framing is not my trade, I am a hobbyist painter and so only ocassionally require tips and tricks on how to present my paintings. I usually persuade my father to do the actual fram...

The key to liming (which is the only hand finishing I've done!) is just buffing, buffing, buffing... circular motions and keep checking it's going on evenly. And make sure your cloth is completely clean before you start. I don't know what sort of wood you buy - I don't know the technical terms in fr...

Definitely! Looks like there's a couple of routes (probably to various ledges and not the top) that are around my grade.

Eek! It makes me cringe, although there's quite a few climbers who cross over to base jumping. I went and saw a talk with a great climber, Tim Emmett, and he showed us a couple of his base jumping films too.

I don't think I'd ever be inclined to jump off tall buildings, only climb up them!!

Hi Adam, If you're still looking for a good way to back up your website monthly, it is quite straight forward to use FTP software to download the files from your website directly to your harddrive, which to be safe, I'd then burn onto a DVD/ DVDs. It depends on how much space your files currently ta...
