GENERAL INFORMATION
May I see a sample of a BEST-EX, Inc. frame?
Yes! We have 8.5”x11” frames which I can send to you by UPS. You can keep the frame for a 30-day review, and then ship the frame back (freight prepaid) to Best-Ex Inc. You will not be billed for the frame or outbound freight unless you choose to keep the frame.
What finishes are available for frames and pedestals?
Our standard finish is a weatherable black textured powder coat. Also available are textured powder coat finishes in NPS Brown, NPS Charcoal, NPS Yorktown Green, and NPS Guam Gray. The same NPS colors are also available in Sherwin Williams Polane S-Plus. Numerous other powder coat and wet coat paint colors are available. If you prefer, frames can be purchased without a finish. Colors other than weatherable black may be subject to an additional charge. If you want colors or finishes matched, you should have a sample of your color, or a PMS or RAL color number.
Does BEST-EX, INC. also make signs?
No. BEST-EX, INC. is a light gauge metal fabricator. We think we should stick to what we do best. We feel the graphics and signage is best done by other professionals in those fields. If you would prefer to purchase your products from only one business, we will gladly refer you to graphic designers or sign manufacturers we work with on a regular basis who also sell our frames, exhibit bases, and pedestals. We are also happy to work directly with your graphics and signage professionals to make your project a success.
How long will it take for my sign to arrive?
Our standard lead time is 6 – 8 weeks after the receipt of your order and credit approval. Lead time may vary if orders have special requirements.
What options do I have for payment?
BEST-EX, Inc. offers terms of net 30 with approved credit. Otherwise, we accept MasterCard/Visa. You can also pay 50% down at the time of order, with the balance due at shipment. Or, you can secure your order with a credit card, and pay for the order at time of shipment.
How will my order be shipped?
