I recently bought a pair of eyeglasses from Goggles4U. Frame #29821, you can see them here:
http://www.goggles4u.com/detail.asp?pid=29821&Submit2=search When mine arrived, I was sad to discover that the hinge was loose and ill fitting: <img src="http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll140/StewLG/Internet %20Eyeglasses/Wonky-Goggles-4-U.jpg"> I wrote the following to Goggles 4U: <b> I recently ordered a pair of Goggles 4 U glasses. I was very encouraged by many internet reviews that spoke highly of the quality of your glasses. I've only put the glasses on 6 or 7 times since receiving them this afternoon, but already the temple hinge has become loose and wobbly - they may in fact have come that way, I'm not sure. They are not unwearable or a total loss, but it is nevertheless a disappointment I thought you should know about. I've attached a picture to demonstrate.</b> I received the following reply: <b> Dear Customer, Thank you for contacting us. Goggles4u never compromise on the quality of its products. If the prescription of the glasses are correct and you can use them as a backup pair we can offer you a huge discount for your new order. Please feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions. Sincerely, Sales and Support </b> I don't know what they mean by "huge discount", as they did not specify and I did not follow up. They may be talking about the 15% off future orders receive, which I would not call huge. A huge discount might in fact be enough to entice me into rolling the dice again with Goggles 4U, but 15% will not. Again, I am not outraged or incensed - just disappointed. I would expect some corners to be cut at this price level, so the pair of eyeglasses did not surprise me, but the many positive reviews I read on this forum made me hope for better. In Goggles 4U's defense the prescription and high-index lenses seem well made, especially considering the price. Suggestions for a next internet eyeglass company to try would be appreciated. I have a strong (5+ in each eye) prescription. - Stew --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Check us out at the oft-updated http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com!
