Excellent, Cost-Effective Framing Supplier

If you are looking for a reliable supplier for your framing needs, look no further than lionpic.co.uk. I have found them to be an incredibly efficient and cost-effective supplier of frame mouldings and related equipment. Their extensive range has absolutely everything required for picture framing, from high-quality mouldings to specialized hardware and tools. Orders are always processed smoothly and delivered promptly, saving both time and money.

They will back billing you!

Delivery is fast. However it is very bad in terms of customer experience.

Very uncomfortable shopping experience because they will back invoicing you without any acknowledgment!!

——

Let’s stay on the main point: this isn’t about how moulding is sold.
The real issue is transparency,your UX system and you customers service.

On your page it says “2.3–3m”, and both myself and other frame makers naturally assumed the minimum unit is 2m. So the wording is misleading.

Other retailers clearly show fixed length units, which is much more user-friendly.

And you should not take more money than the checkout amount without confirming with the customer first.

Finally, your customer service replies keep shifting the responsibility back to the customer, instead of reflecting on how to improve your system.

Thank you for your review - we believe the issue you are referring to is that the moulding you ordered was rounded up to the nearest full length. As a trade supplier we only sell moulding in full lengths. Because it is a natural wood product, moulding lengths vary between 2.3m and 3m, even within a small batch, and we won't know what lengths are available until we pick the order. We therefore ask customers to tell us how many metres they need, and we round it up to the next whole length to ensure they have enough to complete the job, which is why the final invoice value may be higher than your basket total. We do include this information on rounding up at various points in the ordering process, including on the product page, in the order confirmation email and in our Terms & Conditions. As we recognise that ordering moulding is often unfamiliar to newer customers, we also cover it in our 'New to Framing' section and in our FAQs. For customers who want to be able to order a precise amount of moulding, we recommend using our Chop Service.

Reliable and trustworthy

We've been using Lion for a long time now, and our experience has been excellent. The frames are cut perfectly and often arrive literally the day after they are ordered. Customer service--so important these days--is responsive and quick, and they pick up almost immediately. A shout out to Julia for helping us navigate our order today. We've ordered many times and never yet had a problem.

Reported to Credit Card Company for Fraud

After placing an order online was advised that one item was no longer available and would be refunded. After checking banking details, not only did they NOT refund on the item not delivered they also decided to make another payment without my authorisation for what they describe as "rounding up". On the telephone they were just argumentative and when I advised that I would be reporting the fraud to my credit card company I was told that they don't care. Avoid at all costs!

Superb company

I love this company. I've ordered picture framing supplies from a few different suppliers, but Lion is, in my view, far and away the best. They offer a great range and are well stocked. The website is brilliant, but they also produce fully comprehensive and regularly updated printed catalogues, which is so helpful. Delivery is prompt and efficient, and follow-up service for any issues or queries is also excellent. The staff are friendly and knowledgable, and they answer their phones promptly. My only slight criticism is that the minimum order for free delivery is rather high. Otherwise, brilliant.

Wife's Surprise Christmas Gift Ruined...

I purchased a couple of items as Christmas gifts for my wife. The 'Checkout' page specifically asks for any 'Customer Comments', so I wrote: "This is a Christmas present - please no obvious markings on the package".
Imagine my dismay when my wife took delivery of the order earlier. Not only were all the parcels clearly marked with the sender's details, but the main item even had the contents printed on the external packaging.
Thanks a lot Lion Picture Framing Supplies, that's the surprise gift gone...
