there is a place in chinatown that i go to

they're legit and offers wicked competitive prices.

i got a pair of SALT optics with Nikon lens for $500 everything in.
and they sold me a pair of gucci sunglasses listed for $320 (there, and everywhere else) for $250 and it didn't make much "bargaining"....i was in and out of the store in 15 mins!

let me know if you're interested!

how do you buy sunglasses online tho?

how do you know how it would fit, and how it would look on your face?

or do you shop for it offline, and then buy 'em online?

Wifey picked up Gucci sunglasses that were $350usd in NYC for $300 and got it "covered" by her benefits.

+1 for Pac Mall... I've personally never done the whole 'online' thing, especially if you need a 'receipt' for claims purposes.

Just be wary of what kind of sunglasses you buy - I bought some ghey Gucci sunglasses that are held up by 2 screws to the nosepiece. Needless to say, I have spider-cracking since that's the ONLY connection point, and well, sunglasses don't want to bend like wata.

I also go to one in downtown Chinatown called 'Bu Quang', they're like right beside the Italian embassy(?)... My family kinda knows them.

Gucci is the licensed brand, and they're massively produced in a factory by Luxxotica.

ok...still doesn't answer the question of whether he bought authentic glasses or not.
Unless you're telling me that fakes are made in the same factory as well.

Oakely I bought years ago was $70 cheaper at Pacific mall than Sunglass Hut.
Another pair I looked at a couple months ago, Pac mall was $20-30 cheaper than Oakley store.

Seriously, I have no idea how to tell whether they're fakes or not, but I bought them at PacMall...

I'd imagine it is the design, as I've seen another brand with similar spider-cracking

That means these were not straight up 'sunglasses' ... i.e. they have prescriptions in them.

PacMall sometimes also 'fake' the receipt.....

sorry, should have clairified. at first she wanted a pair of these other glasses (can't remember the name) and there was $100 left over. i was going to get a pair of CK sunglasses, they were going to write me a prescription as i don't wear glasses. instead, they wrote me a prescription, and used that money toward her glasses. flippin scams.lol

update

i went ahead and bought a pair at sunglass hut, pac mall is too far and i don't benefit from a prescription receipt; job doesn't cover it.

the thing is though they were hard up on not giving me the box that usually comes with a pair of oakleys, which i thought was weird... do they usually sell without the box? i would imagine some people would want that for a gift.

Hmm, that is weird. Not for nothing, but I would report that to their head office. Sounds like something fishy going on. Heck even all the stores in Pacific Mall give you the fancy cases and boxes. For all you know the sales person is pulling some scam and selling them to others. Or they could be swapping real pairs of glasses with fakes, selling the fakes through the Sunglass Hut and selling the real ones on the side.

Or it could just be the sales person is an idiot.
