I've actually found Zenni frames being sold on other sites. I bought my daughter a pair of glasses from a shop for $55 and I got the exact same frames (these are very unique so you would know right off the bat they are the same)on Zenni's site for $26. There was a slight difference in the finish of the frame..the paint on .her pair was more matte, and mine had a more metallic finish (I liked mine better), and there were different plastic ends on the temples. Also, the dimensions of the frame were marked on her frame, but not on mine. It seems that you could be getting a Zenni frame even if you purchase from another site. Customer service told me that they wholeslae to B&M stores too.
I have actually found Zenni's lenses to be clearer than most other C39 or Poly carb lenses. However, what's up with their antireflective coating? I ordered a pair of Prada look-alikes from Zenni and they are more reflective with the coating! Think about this..if you buy 3 $8 glasses in a year, you have still only spend $39 (inclusing shipping). Where could you do that in a local shop?
