thanks.
didn't want to spend more than $100 for glasses at local stores.

GOt mine today. Ti rimless for about $35. They suggested that you get poly carb lenses with the rimless, but being as cheap as i am i just order them with glass. It appears that they sent me ones with poly carb anyway ( ymmv ). Good glasses, appear well constructed and lenses are well finished and polished around the edges. They are light and fit well. except for the part that goes behind my ears, they are a little short, but not too bad. My head must be to big. I am thinking about getting some sunglasses. I was going to get the ones with the magnetic clip-ons, but may not b/c of a previous post about the metal scratching the lenses. Thanks for a great post.

Hm...most of the positive reviews are coming from new members...HMMMMM.

I got mine, very disappointed. Mine is half rimless with sun shades, and it had the same scratch as the previous poster mentioned. There is a noticable white line along the rimless edge. I emailed them about scratches 3 days ago, haven't heard anything back from them yet. My advice, stay away from rimless, and sunshade...It is ok to have a backup glasses, not good for wearing this kind of glasses whole day.

The day after I went to get new glasses from the local doc, I found this thread. With my vision insurance, for the exam and glasses with clips I paid $214. Dang I feel ripped off. I am thinking of getting a second pair from the cheap place.

I've used both now, ordered sunglasses and rimless from 39dollarglasses and rimless ti from zenni. I ended up paying 80 some bucks for the rimless from 39dollar and am happier with the 30 dollar pair from zenni. I like the selection of 39 but I'd order from zenni again.

Big Old Daddy

I received the glasses in about 2 weeks.

An hour or so after I placed the order I was called by a very friendly man from there who was calling to verify the prescription since one sounded wrong to him. I read to him direct from my doctor's prescription and he said fine.

When the glasses came one lens was fine and the other was nothing but distortion. Obviously a wrong prescription.

I e-mailed them and asked what could be done a week ago. NO REPLY TO MY REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE. I sent them another e-mail today saying that I assume that they're ignoring me and that if I don't hear from them within 5 working days I'll contest the charge on my credit card.

I have the feeling they'll tell me that it's my error even though I read the prescription direct from the doctor's form when they called me.

I guess I'll telephone them during the week.

I guess when something is too good to be true it really is too good to be true.

At this point I wonder if I will ever recover anything from my $35 "investment."

That is what I would have thought HOWEVER, how did COSTCO produce fine (bifocals) from the identical prescription??? That leads me to believe that they didn't believe what I had copied from the doctor's prescription and read to them when they called to confirm it. I'd like to know what went wrong and where. I'd be willing to pay for the replacement of that lens IF IT REALLY WAS MY ERROR. However if they won't even reply it's hard to know for sure.

I guess I have an unusual prescription since they called to verify it and the person said it's not a usual combination of left and right eye. I'm wondering if they still figured it was an error and "corrected" it based on what they thought it should have been even after I read it to the person on the phone.

One would think that a business would at least respond to a query to their "service" e-mail address in over a week.

You shoudl take the glassee in to verify prescription, a number of places will do that for free, maybe someone can offer advice. But with this info it will be easier to decide if it was your mistake or theirs. In any case I doubt they would go out of their way to make you whole, that is not how bargain places operate...

I got my two pairs of rimless after 2 weeks. One spare and one tinted. They are very light and comfortable, but they seem to be very fragile. They did use big old screws to connect the lenses etc...together and then have the plastic thingies to cover the protruding parts of the screws. It is a bit unsightly to me and the screws kinda get in my vision field. I am planning to have all the protruding parts clipped off if I can. On my tinted pair, they also used the same big old shiny metallic screws which stand out on the corners of the lenses. I think that I will have to put dark nail polish or indelible ink on them to make the screws less noticeable. Otherwise everything is fine for adults. Don't buy this el cheapo glasses for kids or if you have a kiddie temperament. I lost about 3 pairs a year, so it's ok to go cheap.
