I wouldn't order from zenni. I ordered a computer eyeglasses from them. First, it came with AR coating on left lens only. I sent them back and took about a month to get it back. This time, it came with AR coating on both lens but the prescription is wrong. I emailed them about it and getting no response at all. Also, the frame I purchased it very crappy. Even their case is crappy too. Even their cleaning cloth is crappy. I feel like I am going to scratch lenses if I use it. I've ordered from several places but Zenni is the worst. Service, quality, turn around time.... there's nothing I like about them. I feel like they are throwing away whatever they've got even if that's not what customer ordered.
I have no experience with CC. But I would recommend 39dollars or optical4less. On Sep 2, 12:00 am, Martin <[email protected]> wrote: > I've been looking through the different stores...
