This report is not really to get my money back but more to warn individuals of this company so they don't waste their money on these piece of crap sunglasses.
My fiancee and I saw an ad in Esquire Magazine that stated that we could order sunglasses that are worth $80-$250, for only the price of shipping. We got on to their website to check out the selection of sunglasses and found 3 pair that we liked. So, we ordered 3 pair of sunglasses and a sunglass case...order totaling $57.00 which we thought was a great deal considering what the "retail" price for the sunglasses actually were.
We received our glasses via USPS today and were saddened by what we had actually bought. They were very cheap, flimsy shades that didn't look as though they were worth more than a couple bucks. One pair didn't even have any tint to them. The lens's were clear and look more like safety goggles than sunglasses.
On our invoice that was included with the shipment, it stated that no refunds are accepted unless there is some sort of factory defect. There is also noway to get in contact with them other than a phone call, which you are lucky to get through. There is no email address for us to email them. Although there are no defects, we feel as though we were ripped off by false advertising. They are not stylish sunglasses, they don't keep the sun out of your eyes at all and there is no way that these shades retail for as much as they say they do. They are very delicate, flimsy and very breakable sunglasses.
My whole purpose for this ripoff report is to hopefully save others from wasting their hard earned cash on worthless, crappy shades that even Walmart wouldn't sell. Save your money and look elsewhere for better glasses. We are just going to take this as a lesson learned and we know now that you get what you pay for (or overpay for in our case).
