I have to buy glasses for the kids so you know what that means - have a spare on hand. This worked out for me since I'm buy 2x for one child and getting the 3rd one for free (including lense) for the 2nd child to use as spare. Use "glassyeyes" code for another 10% off. shipping was $9.99 for me for the 3 pairs which is decent.
BTW: googgles4u.com is no longer cheap, they now charge $20 for basic lense and this is how ended up here.
I would say all the qualities between these online vendors are the same. Personally, I have never had glasses that lasted more than 1 year. Either I get new prescriptions and I get frames w/ it. I'm not sure if Global includes the free tool kit but Goggle4u.com did for me.

Not true. Some are based in the USA (or in Canada near the border) and will deliver your glasses in less than a week. Others are based in mainland China and usually take 3-5 weeks for delivery.
The lenses kills the deal, esp. with non-glare lenses. Go to Zenni Optical where prices are more reasonable with $5 shipping for as many glasses you want!

I think there is a lot of variety of frame styles and frame quality from company to company. Some of the mainland China companies sell only low-end frames, but others do have a selection of better quality frames. Lens quality can vary, too, especially for the fancier lenses like high indexes or progressives and photocromatics (light sensitive sunglasses).
