Summary of Services:

This is a relatively confusing one. The prices are all over the place, for no apparent reason. The frames they show are very similar to other retailers and range from cheaper, to significantly more expensive.

They do have some unique frames that will undoubtedly attract some buyers tired of seeing the same designs at various online retailers, but the shipping costs of $14 will scare away the majority of interest.

Polarized lenses are available for $46 which isn't a bad price. They're not available at all at most of the low-cost online retailers.

I bought a pair from them to test them out and they weren't cheap. Overall, I like the product I got, but would probably look elsewhere in the future if there wasn't a shipping deal available.

As of 11/9/2009:
"We work really hard to ensure the eyeglasses you get from us are 100% accurate based on your prescription and requirements. However, if for any reason you are not happy or satisfied with your purchases, you can simply return the item in its original condition for a refund, a replacement or an exchange in accordance with our return and refund policies.

If within 5 days of receiving your item, you are not completely satisfied with or simply don’t like the product, you can cancel your order for a full refund. To process the cancellation, we need to have you return all the cancelled items in their original conditions. Once we receive the item in good condition, we will refund the purchase price directly to the account you used in ordering at our site.

Please note that Glasses Shop does not permit the return or offer refunds if returns are not quality related during this period.

Please note that Glasses Shop does not permit the return or offer refunds if returns are not quality related during this period.


NOTE: All returns are not processed until our Customer Service grants you the authorization to do so ahead of time.

To obtain refunds, please have the glasses shipped back to us in good condition with case and cleaning cloth. Shipping and handling charges are not refundable except for the case that it is resulted from our fault.

You are allowed to return the problem products to us in 7 days.

For your protection, we suggest you return the product in a traceable manner. If the value of the item is over $100, we suggest you insure it for the price you paid. Be sure to pack the item in the same manner you received it.

For lenses that you are unsure of their accuracy based on the prescription you provided, you can choose to either get a full refund or have us redo it for you for free. However, we are not responsible for the wrong prescription you entered in our website and no refunds or returns are given in such situations.
