I just wanted to post a quick follow up. I got an email from Coastal Contacts saying my glasses have finally shipped. I'm going to wait to pass final judgement on them but I feel their lack of customer service leaves a lot to be desired. With that said, however, if everything works out well, I might order from them again because their prices are just so reasonable. 3 weeks for glasses seems a little long, however.
