Fantastic service. Ordered midday Wednesday arrived mid morning Friday. Very nice frame, very well packaged (it would have survived an earthquake I think) I highly recommend Skelf Frames and wouldnt hesitate to order again.

Simply brilliant service. Ordered a custom (made-to-measure) frame online at 10:30am, and was amazed to receive it the following day. Fantastic service.

What a revelation!! Fantastic quick delivery and incredibly well protectively packaged. I had some issues, one of which was my fault entirely but these were dealt with immediately. Communication excellent and immediate - even out of hours! Cant fault this service. Will definitely use again.
