www.t-molding.com  ::)

I've purchased from there and was very satisfied.

Also tried the cheapest seller on fleabay once and received t-molding that had a scratch the entire length of it.

I'd order from "Groovygamegear.com" if he has what you need. The selection of "T-molding.com" is larger, but costs 10 cent more a foot and there is a 20 foot minimum.

The last time I ordered Donkey Kong t-molding from "T-molding.com" they sent me regular white t-molding that wasn't flat. :(

I have never owned a cabinet in my life that only needed 20 feet of t-molding, so you get boned by that t-molding website right off the bat.  Order 40 feet and have a worthless 15 foot scrap?  Spring for 60 feet?  Very annoying, and the last batch I ordered was already scuffed up out of the box.

 :timebomb:





iknow thaat having to order by 20 feet sux, but right now they are +/- the only site that offer different size!!

i have to admit that if i want to try out 4-5-6 different tmold, ordering 120 feet of tmold just to try different size/color sux lol

Something else to keep in mind.....

t-molding.com sells it in 20ft coils, not 20ft increments.
So if you order  60ft, you'll receive three 20ft pieces.

Thats true, but I think if you contact him, he may be able to do a custom order where you can get it as one longer coil.

They offer free samples with a small fee for shipping.  You can get a 3 inch or so sample in a few different colors.  

And I see on t-molding.com's website that it's priced by the foot and sold in increments of a foot.  I didn't see where it's sold in 20' coils.  Maybe that's a particular color or type?

Where are you looking where you can select increments of a foot? Mine gives a drop down menu that jumps by 20's.

Per t-molding's FAQ:

Do I have to buy 20'? Is there a minimum purchase?
All our t-moldings ship in standard length rolls, however, arrangements can be made should you require an odd size. There is no minimum purchase.

Probably have to contact them for something other than 20' rolls.

I just selected black and see that the various options say:

Quote
This item is priced per foot, and will ship as one continuous piece of molding up to 250' long.
Our price: $0.50

http://www.t-molding.com/store/home.php?cat=8

So it looks like they do have different options depending on the color.
