Don't I know you from somewhere?  They'll let anyone in here :)

I'm zero for one with Zenni.  Ordered some titanium frames from them
and they took forever to arrive, this was a while back where I guess
they were having issues with customs.  Wore them as a "dirty work"
pair of glasses for a couple months and one of the nosepieces fell
off.  Found that the screw that holds them in is an odd thread that
one cannot find in a typical eyeglass repair kit, so they're now
useless :(

I should probably order another pair anyway though as that means that
now I have only one pair of glasses, plus the ones from Zenni that now
sit cockeyed on my face and try to rub a hole in my nose, so they
theoretically *could* be used in an emergency...

On the upside, the glasses were decent enough while they lasted,
although they were a little large for my face (but now I know what
size is "too big" so I'll just get something smaller.)  I had to bend
the crap out of the temples and the little arms that hold the
nosepieces to get them to fit - they showed up bent at crazy angles.
I figured that would be the likely failure of the glasses - in fact I
expected to break them before I got them to fit, they were that far
out - but they handled some abusive adjustment just fine.
