The best retail eyeglasses store online .
There is a variety of online optical retailers, giving us consumers plentiful of choices. However, unless you are like me, who treat spectacles as fashion, one will probalbly only need one pair once in a long while. Therefore, I have compiled the following summary to share with all consumers.
All my orders were purchases of the least expensive frames with AR coating lens, shipped to California, USA.
(Note: I am not affiliated to any of these sites, merely sharing hot deals w/ everyone)
Merchant #1 - http://optical4less.com
Price for standard orders : $29 USD Comment: a Hong Kong based company. A very popular online retailer. Quality of the products are superb. I am one of their return customers. Highly recommended.
Merchant #2 -http://39dollarglasses.com
Price for standards orders: $69.90 USD Comment: a US based company. A well designed website, very user-friendly. Pricing is a bit higher but quality is very good. Nice customer service, too. Recommended.
Merchant #3--http://glassesdirect.co.uk
Price for standard orders: 32.5GBP
Comment: A well-known UK company with an average quality.
Merchant #4 --http://Zennioptical.com
Price for standard orders : $28.9 USD Comment: a China based company. Pricing is attractive but my order took two months to arrive. Quality was barely acceptable. That was my only time dealing with them.
Merchant #5 -http://goggle4u.com
Price for standard orders : $24.99 USD
Comment:a Pakistan based company (at least that's where the package seemed to be sent from...). I ordered from them because I saw some good feedbacks on other forums. However, my experience was horrible. The frame really looked cheap and the P.D. was incorrect. 30 bucks well spent to not make the same mistake again!
