are MB's converters any good for national frames?
They will do the job. They sell them so must stand by their product. It is only a temporary measure, after all.
Anything is 'get roundable' if you are prepared to think a little about your particular circumstance.
Frames too deep for the box - make a temporary eke.
Frames too short for the box - hang them on long temporary top bars; fill in end spaces.
Box too deep for frames - fill in under the frames to prevent wild comb.
Frames too long for the box - use the delivery box and make a 'converter board' to fit the larger and have the smaller opening.
Alll temporary, no rocket science and all easy to see when you have the nuc in your hands and are panicking about the incompatability of the supplied frames and your hive brood.
Better to be prepared beforehand but depends on your basic woodworking shills and having the appropriate timber available to just get on and get it done.
Your supplier would likely have come across the problem before and would offer simple advice, I am sure.
So no real problem.
