I've wanted to order from 39dollarglasses for some time now but I've been put off by their expensive upcharging - everything seems to cost $39 extra - what I especially don't like is their somewhat deceptive practice of their "Custom Surfacing Upgrade", which costs $39 extra but they don't explain this to you until after you've put them in your cart and notice that the total price is much higher. Even with discount online retailers, the name of the game should always be transparent charges.
$140 for frames and brand name lenses is still a good price but it's too much to risk on glasses that you can't actually try on in person first. J.
