  We are writing in response to a complaint submitted by ****** ********. After careful consideration, we would like to provide context regarding our decision to refuse service and discontinue business with this individual.  We received inappropriate communication from *** ********* including the sending of profanity and sexually explicit photographs. Such behavior is completely unacceptable and violates our company's standards of professionalism and respect. As a result of these actions, we made the decision to cease further business with *** ********* including discarding any eyewear that had been involved in the transaction.

  
  Furthermore, in order to maintain a safe and respectful environment for all parties involved, we blocked *** ******** from all communication channels.
  We strive to offer a high standard of service to all of our customers, but we also prioritize maintaining a respectful and professional relationship. We hope this explanation clarifies our actions.
  Thank you for your understanding.

  I purchased a pair of ************* sunglasses on 12/31/2024. I never received an email about the order itself, tracking, or shipping. I called them today, 1/25/2025, and was told that the sunglasses would arrive today. Why it took over three weeks to arrive and why I did not receive any emails about my order, I do not know.Keep in mind, I have a pair of authentic Oakley Fringe sunglasses that I purchased directly from ****** several years ago, but I just wanted another pair as the lenses on my original pair were scratched. The pair arrived today, 1/25/2025, and as soon as I saw the generic Oakley case, my heart sank. I opened the case and inside were the worst counterfeit pair of sunglasses I've seen. The frame was chintzy and cheap grade plastic with nose pads that Oakley does not do on this style. The lenses were a chrome pink, but the original and what I ordered were violet gradient...chrome pink was not made for this style by Oakley at any time. All Oakley frames have the Oakley name on the inside, the style name on the inside of the frame, and the model number on the frame...and this had none. It's a blantantly poor counterfeit, and customer service had the audacity to say that these were authentic and that they were charging me a restocking fee. What I received was NOWHERE CLOSE to even the picture on their website of the sunglasses! I have disputed the charge with ****************, but this company should not exist. To take advantage of people and to try to pull this stunt is abysmal and despicable, and they should be stopped and put out of business.

  Business Response

  Dear ********************** am writing in response to the complaint submitted regarding their purchase of Oakley Fringe sunglasses on 12/31/2024. We take customer feedback seriously and would like to provide clarification regarding the concerns raised.

  
  Authenticity of the Product:

  
  The sunglasses in question were purchased directly from a trusted source, and we have not been provided with any official documentation or proof from an authoritative body to suggest that the items are counterfeit. The supplier has assured us of the authenticity of the products, and we stand by the integrity of the items we sell. While we understand that the customers personal assessment leads them to believe the product is counterfeit, without any valid proof from an official source, we consider the matter to be a difference in opinion.

  
  Shipping and Communication:

  
  We regret any inconvenience caused by the delayed shipping and the lack of communication regarding the order. The customers order was shipped as soon as possible, and we apologize if there were any breakdowns in communication. We will certainly review our processes to ensure better tracking and updates are provided in the future.

  
  Return Policy and Restocking Fee:

  
  Upon receiving the customers concern, we promptly issued a return label for the product, allowing them to return the item for a full refund, less a 20% restocking fee. This restocking fee is clearly outlined in our websites return policy and is standard practice for returned merchandise. We believe our policies were followed correctly in this case.

  
  We are committed to customer satisfaction and are open to further discussion should the customer provide any additional evidence regarding the authenticity of the product.
  Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you need any further information.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  I have taken many pictures, and I also have a video that cannot be attached here due to the size, showing how the product I was sent is counterfeit. The sunglasses on the right in the white case were purchased by me many years ago when Oakley Fringe first came out and are verified authentic. There are several different ways to tell that they are authentic and all of these ways have been told multiple times to the business owner, as I have purchased many pairs of authentic Oakley sunglasses, as these are all I tend to wear. The sunglasses on the left in the black case are the counterfeit pair. They look nothing like the pair on the right and nothing like the picture that's even listed on the business's website. The authentic pair of sunglasses on the right have the correct lenses, have Made in the *** stamped into the frame on the inside on one side, have the style name Fringe stamped in the other side, and the model number and style number are heat pressed into one side of the frame, which is authentic and correct for Oakley. The counterfeit pair has Chrome lenses, which were never made for these by Oakley, and have none of the stamping or serial numbers, and are made of cheap and chintzy plastic, which clearly shows that it is a counterfeit. Also of note, the counterfeit sunglasses have black and separate nose pieces, which clearly the authentic pair do not. I demand a full refund and I refuse to pay a restocking fee for being sent a counterfeit pair of sunglasses. The business owner refuses to take responsibility and tries to pass a blame to me, by insinuating that I am stupid and don't know what I'm talking about, and also tries to pass blame to the vendor. A business owner should be using trusted vendors by now, and this is clearly not the case. I have been duped and taken advantage of, and I refuse to let this happen to me or to other consumers. This business owner should be held seriously accountable.

  The customer has failed to return the genuine merchandise as required. Additionally, the customer has initiated a dispute with her bank regarding the charge, resulting in the disputed amount being withdrawn from our account. As of this moment, we no longer possess the funds nor the authentic glasses."

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  Per the screenshot attached, the package was delivered to the address on the return label on 2/1/2025. Not only are the sunglasses counterfeit, so are this business's responses. I kept the return label tracking number and have the receipt showing the package was sent. This business should not be allowed to continue, as clearly they are trying to con people as shown here in this whole conversation.

  I shipped my Ray *** Wayfarer sunglasses to eyeglass depot for repair using a mailing label sent by this company. They acknowledged receipt of item and quoted me a price for repair and extras. I was given and order #******. I paid repair cost by credit card. I received an email stating that my glasses were sent on 10/3/24 and was given a tracking number. The tracking number stated that a label was printed but the item never came to post office. They are refusing to reimburse me for the value of the glasses and the repair cost. I have put in a complaint thru my bank. They have offered to send me a pair of glasses I do not want. My glasses were a limited edition thru RAY BAN .

  Dear [BBB Representative],
  We appreciate the opportunity to respond to the concerns raised by the customer regarding their experience with our service.
  We acknowledge that the customer's ******* ******** ************************* were sent for repair and subsequently reported as lost in transit by the ****. We understand the disappointment this has caused, especially considering the limited edition nature of the sunglasses.  Upon receipt of the claim regarding the lost item, we provided proof that the glasses were not delivered and promptly issued a full refund of $151.97 to the customer. We strive to handle such situations with care and fairness, and we believe this resolution reflects our commitment to customer satisfaction.  We offered the customer a brand new pair of ************************* in a different color as a replacement option. However, the customer declined this offer. We are always willing to explore alternatives, and we regret that we could not meet the customers preferences in this instance.  We value our customers and are dedicated to providing high-quality service.
  Thank you for your understanding.

  On 8/26/24 I mailed my sunglasses to Eyeglasses Depot for a simple repair on the rubber nose piece. Nothing else wrong with the glasses. (Mint condition). On 9/4/24 they send me a bill for $99.99 saying they replaced the lenses ! The lenses did NOT need replacing at all !!! These are $250.00 Costas with the 580G glass lens. They did not call me to say what they were doing at all ! I would have stopped them ! Now they want $99.99 for glasses that are probably not the same quality of lens that my glasses had and they haven't mentioned anything about fixing my nose piece! They are scamming people and now they are holding my glasses hostage ! I want a new pair of Costas to replace mine and I mean brand new !

  The lab sent  you an estimate for $99 to replace the face.

  As per our policy

  
  How does the repair process work?
  A. The repair process is simple. You will send us your damaged eyewear for a repair price quote. If the price that we quote you is acceptable, we will send you an invoice , once paid we will do the work and send your frame back. If you deny the quote, we will return your item back and all you have to do is pay for shipping. To start the process you will be required to fill out an online form that will require you to enter your address and information about what is damaged. You will be given an order number to use with any coorespondance with us in regards to your item , and most importantly the order number must be sent along with your eyewear to eliminate confusion.

  I sent a broken frame and a new frame to Eyeglasses Depot that per the tracking information from the *********** they received on 10/1/2022 that had a label sent to me by the company. I was requesting that the broken frame be evaluated to see if it could be fixed and the new frame to have new Rx lenses put in. I have tried to call many times (had to leave messages each time as no one answered) and e-mailed many times with no response from the company. I had put in the order for the Rx lenses before I sent the frames. The emails have been acknowledge a few times with auto responses saying they will call me within 48 hours but never got a call. The last few times I tried contacting them I was just requesting them to send back my new frame. I even offered to pay any postage in my emails and messages. The frame is a discontinued one that I can not replace. The phone number that they list is ************** and the email is *************************. They also have a email form on their website that I have used to try to contact them. I have not gotten any response at all from them.

  I sent in a pair of Maui *** sunglasses for lens replacement to eye glasses depot thinking they were an authorized Maui *** repair facility (they are not). Not only did they charge me for inferior lenses and the coating wore off within one year of repair, they also fraudulently replace my authentic Maui *** frames with a knock off pair of frames without my permission. I was only made aware of this switch when I sent the glasses in for repair to Maui *** and they told me they were not their frames and could not effectuate repair.
