That's a fair question pramsay13
Firstly, it will be my largest and most important order in 18 months both in value and quantity. It will be my core stock of FF mouldings and mountboard. I'm hoping that dealing (in the main) with one supplier results in good service and discounts. (My idea of purchasing power

)
I have arrived at this order after very carful consideration including, listening to my customers, both old and new, visiting (this year) the SF at the NEC, 4 suppliers showrooms, attending two Wessex Roadshows, testing umpteen moulding samples, buying moulding in small quantities to find out how they are to work with, browsing numerous frame shops and following advice/comments on this excellent FF and two other picture framing related forums.
I will admit to always being cautious when spending large amounts of money (I hope that's not the same as being mean or indecisive). This approach has worked for me in the past and resulted in slow and steady progress.
Sorry about all the above

, I bet you wished you've never asked.
