<< I ordered on Nov 7th and the glasses are still not here. I've called a couple of times. they claim that my pair had already been complete and were sent to their California warehouse, but that my glasses didn't pass their strict standards and hence, were re-ordered. The CSR told me to give it another week... Hope mine is a simply an odd case. >>

So their manufacturing standards and their warehouse standards are different?

i ordered 2 from zenni on 11/23. 1 of them arrived yesterday. Emailed them regarding the other one and they say that it should be shipped tomorrow.

The one that has arrived was without the anti-reflection coating. Should have added that coating. So far, pretty pleased with the quality (considering the price). Will update when the other one comes. Thanks everyone~

I took my glasses to a jewelry store inside my closest fleamarket. They cut off the screws for me with a very small saw and charged me 1.00/pair. I am quite happy with my glasses now.

Anyone find a cheap place for glasses that have a longer temple length? Say, around 145-150mm?

<< I bought some Zenni glasses as a back up for my old glasses. I received them and they felt funny wearing them; my eyes ached after a while. I had the prescription checked at Costco along with my older pair and the optician said the prescriptions were identical, but the Zenni lenses were the wrong curvature, so they changed my vision. I wore them for a couple of days and they continued to cause my eyes to ache, so I put my old pair back on. I bought a new pair from our local Payless Optical($29.95 for a single (not bifocal)prescription for any frame in the store) using the same prescription as I used on the Zenni glasses and they immediately felt fine.

I don't think I'll do Zenni again. It's unfortunate because they are cheap and have a variety of styles... >>

Your's could well be a case of a problematic manufacturing OR could also be one of the more common syndromes in this country... Pay more to get more, if you didn't pay more, then it has to be a problem. I've bought their magnetic frame with AR coating and I must say, I'm extremely pleased with the quality of my glasses. Great experience... heck even the case and cleaning cloth are v decent to say the least. Highly recommended.

I also recommend them; I ordered the Memory Titanium Full Rim for $39 shipped including AR coating and prefer these glasses to my $300 Kenneth Cole titanium pair that I got at Pearle Optical (B&M) at the same time. I've been alternately wearing both and for a month and prefer the Zenni pair.

I'll be ordering future glasses from them.

We ordered a trial pair for my husband. He put them on and has been wearing them for the last week with no complaints. Although he didn't think it necessary, I ordered him another pair--the titanium ones--as a spare. I hate it when he breaks his glasses and then wears the reading glasses down on his nose.

Zenni has been good to deal with for his simple bifocal prescription and we are happy with the quality.

You don't understand on the pricing here. Lenscrafters was far more expensive even after $100 off. The total from Zenni was under $50/everything.

"Lensescrafter is offering $100 off any pair of glasses and frames"

Our local Lenscrafters got caught using cheap plastic for lens instead of what the customer really paid for:
"LensCrafters officials confirmed Friday that their Monterey store has engaged in a pattern of providing thicker plastic lenses to customers who had ordered lightweight polycarbonate lenses."

That's todays news too.

All three of my thumbs are up for Zenni. Haven't worn glasses for years
but always avoided night driving because of "fuzzy flares" around all
lights and signs, etc.

After spending big dollars to get our 10 yr. old daughter glasses I knew
the only way I'd be able to take care of my problem would be to do it
on the cheap. Went to the local optometry college and after pleading
financial woe (they wanted $140 for a student to give me an exam. Yikes!)
was given a full exam for $40. Used their dispensary to double-check lens
width, temple length, pupillary distance, etc. Went home, pulled out
the prescription, filled in the blanks on Zenni's site, took a deep breath,
and hit the send button.

Two weeks and two days later (West Coast) I received a nice pair of gold
memory titanium rimless glasses. They came in a very nice plastic case with
a great cleaning cloth (which I gave to darling daughter... hot breath and tp
works fine for me!). The gold color is actually a bit darker giving them more of
a bronze look which is even better for me than a bright yellow-type gold look.

The anti-reflective coating works super, I drive at night with a huge smile on
my face. (Makes me want to go out at night more often... not!) And yes, I got the funky, "CIA" style flip ons and I love them too! (Daughter disagrees, begs me to
never flip them up in public. Ha! Can't wait!)

The glasses with all add-ons and shipping were about $40. I could've spent an
additional $20 to get the bifocals but having read of someone else having trouble
with where the line was put on their glasses and knowing that our local dollar store
carries a multitude of reading glasses, I chose to not tempt fate in that regard.
The gamble was on the lens and frame style and that turned out okay so for my needs
Zenni helped prove, "beggars *can* be choosers!"
