UPDATE: CL.com PLATE FRAMES

**UPDATE**
Here's the email i got from btm creations:
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">
Kvit,

The rate of $10.99 per frame was for a bulk order of 50+ frames to one
address. We would be glad to ship to individual addresses; however, the
price per frame would be $11.99. We will charge you a flat rate of
$3.50 for shipping via USPS priority mail on these plates anywhere in
the US.

We look forward to hearing from you,

Brian
</font>
1) 11.99 + 3.50 seems fairly reasonable.
3.50 is the new standard rate for USPS so they're not charging extra handling fees.

2) I'll be adding one more design to BTM's site soon


3) Their site has prices updated so it looks like you can order one right now, but not the silver one with black lettering yet

4) I'm waiting for an email from twochicks.com for those who want metallic plates or somethin...

11.99 + 3.50 sounds much more reasonable. However, I, too, would prefer chrome so I'll wait to see what twochicks says.

****UPDATE**** WORD FROM TWOCHICKS.COM

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">
Kvit,

Thank you for your interest in our frames. We have had a number of orders from members of your forum.

Our frames are metal with a choice of chrome or black finish. We offer 21 colors for background and lettering in over 400 combinations.
Our lettering is done with a special printing technique. We know of no one else offering this type of product (we do NOT use engraved
plastic strips). It allows our lettering to be bigger and bolder than our competition and also allows us to include graphics and logos. Our
prices may be higher than those offering plastic frames or metal frames with engraved plastic inserts but quite frankly, they are worth it.

Attached is a gif file of your request as it could appear on a chrome frame. The lettering is white with a black background done in
SWIS721 BT type face. We can do whatever type face you would like and whatever color combination you would like.

As far as pricing goes we will be increasing our basic frame price from $15.99 to $17.99 in the near future. We may be able to work out something with you for exact repeat orders received within the next 45 days or so. How many orders do you anticipate? Our shipping price ($4.00 per package) will remain the same (we can ship up to 2 frames per package). We do offer quantity discounts for larger orders shipped to the same address (please refer to our web page under Product Information and Pricing).

Please get back to us with your thoughts and any questions. We would very much like to be your license plate frame supplier.

Thank you,
Two Chicks

My thoughts,
1) The rate is currently 15.99 + 4 shipping.
The talk about the rate increase from 15.99 to 17.99 in the near future could be bait?

2) I'm not sure how much of a demand to expect for these chrome plates. If theres a huge demand, then I'll let them know about it and negotiate lower rates. (In my first email to them I already asked for less)

I really love my "Type S" frame that I bought from Two Chicks, you can see how it looks like on their website.
