Hey guys. I just found this forum and thought I would post my experiences as a newbie to the online glasses world.
I bought 2 sets the same day, one from Zenni one from 39dollar glasses PRICES (shipped to Canada) Zenni - $24, 39dollarglasses $69 (AR coating added) SHIPPING Both orders took exactly 10 days to arrive. QUALITY: I bought a similar frame style from both retailers. When it comes to the frames, the ones from 39dollarglasses are far superior. But, I seem to be having an issue with the lenses that I can't seem to put my finger on. They appear ok, and I don't see distortion, but things just don't look 'right'. I may have to test out their return policy. The frames from Zenni are 'good' considering they are a $12 frame. They are about what I expected, where the frames from 39dollar far exceeded my expectations. With proper care I don't think anything major will go wrong with them, but they just aren't in the same class as the others. The lenses in the Zenni glasses, while being lower spec than the 39dollar ones on paper, are perfect. EXTRAS 39dollarglasses glasses came with a nice case, screwdriver, and cloth. Zenni came with just a really crappy plastic holding case. CONCLUSION I may send the glasses back to 39dollarglasses to get them to inspect them. The frames are fantastic, and the customer service has been great. It would be hard not to recommend Zenni based on my experience. I may try a more expensive frame from them in the future to see if it's a little more durable. But again, for $24 I can't complain too much. NOTES There is one thing I am trying to figure out that maybe some members can help me with. ALL my glasses in the past, and my Zenni ones (which are all very similar styles) all have a 'bend' to them. EG they curve/wraparound to my face a little. My sunglasses are the same way. The 39dollarglasses ones are completely flat though. I was wondering if that could be having any effect on what I am seeing? As mentioned, the problem is hard to explain. There is no distortion or no doubling at all. Something just seems off. So I was wondering if this could be contributing to it. -- Check us out at the oft-updated http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com!
