Ok about buying them at a local store. You said it takes at least 5 - 7 days. That really has never been the case for me, maybe 2 - 3 days, and of course it costs a lot more money, but that's not the point. If people are on this discussion board already, they are here for the exact same reasons, which would be - you are saving a buttload of money if you buy your glasses online. And the purpose this board serves is - people can share their shopping experiences with the online Rx glasses vendors.
The reason why I have been so frustrated with the shipping time, like I have mentioned before, is that I already had my glasses broken for a long time, and I needed a new pair ASAP. And I can't emphasize ASAP enough. And Goggles4u claims that their shipping times take 10 - 12 days, and in this case, I find this fact to be very misleading as it did not turn out to be true. In this case, it took a month of waiting before they told me my shipment was lost. And to give them credit, they offered a replacement shipment plus coupons for discount on a future order. For me, what that meant is yet another waiting period for up to a month! I would have been OK with all this if I did have a pair of glasses already. As an update to my previous posts, I have recently bought another pair from Zenni Optical, and will let you know of the results once I get my package.
