I hate to say this but....

I have been ordering quite a bit of items from China.

I do not mind waiting 2-3 weeks to get it because I can often get it for

1/3 the price of a u.s. seller.

Which makes wonder about the price difference.

I know it cost money for a us warehouse, and shipping costs.

And I have very rarely been disappointed in the quality.

I've been buying all my eyeglasses from Zenni Optical. The have a US
agent but glasses are made in China. Similar glasses made here would
cost 5 times as much. The eyeglass people are screwing us in the US.
You know, I'm not a commie. The money I save goes to American brewers.
Better them than the eyeglass people here.

Me too. Hardly anything I have bought in the last decade hasnt come
from there apart from most of the food I eat and the gasoline I use.

I do not mind waiting 2-3 weeks to get it because
I can often get it for 1/3 the price of a u.s. seller.

I'd rather not have to wait that long and wonder
why it takes so long given it comes by air.

Which makes wonder about the price difference.

Yeah, some of that is amazing. Not all tho, I just
got one of those coin spark plug gappers locally
when I checked how much it was instead of waiting
for the one from china to show up. I had ordered it
weeks ago and noticed its actually cheaper from a
retail car stuff place, $1 quite literally.

I know it cost money for a us warehouse, and shipping costs.

And I have very rarely been disappointed in the quality.

Yeah, me too. Just bought another of the smallest socket
and screw bit sets with various handles instead of hunting
up the one I have had for more than 40 years now which
has most of the bits all over the place around the house.
The new one is even better, twice as many bits and they
all work well very well made.

Maybe some of the cost drivers in the US are insurance paying for many.

The problem with glasses is one company owns most of the stores and
most of the major brands so they can charge what they like. As we now
know they are all made in china for pennies and that translates to
hundreds of dollars to you. The fact that insurance hides the cost
does not make it any less.

I had seen that when it first ran on 60 Minutes.

I might also mention for those considering ordering on line that you may
have to adjust the fit after buying. Fortunately the frames I buy
require no adjustment but plastic ones may needed bending and heating to
bend.

Besides Zenni I believe there are other sellers maybe just as good and
as cheap as the Chi Coms if you do not want to deal with them.

Our trade problem with them is that it is one way because of their
tariffs. GM was building or has built an SUV plant there and will sell
there and in the USA. For GM to build here and export to China would
incur their 40% tariff. The EC is not much better.

Thanks for the 60 minutes story. I am glad that Walmart is a competitor of Luxxotica.

I buy my glasses there. Even the cheaper frames are well made.

When I get a new presription, I just order the lenses and they install the new lenses in my old frames.

I think Walmart caught on to it, as they now charge a $10 fee if you do not buy frames.

Many things are made in China, then sold by US companies. They buy from
China for almost nothing and mark it up big time.

Often on ebay and maybe other places you can order direct from China.
China has some very inexpensive postage that when it gets to the US, the
USPS looses money by delivering it . Did I mention no sales tax
either.

US glasses are a big ripoff. How do you justify over $ 100 for simple
plastic frames ?
Get slightly fancy and it can be $ 200 to $ 300.

I agree with that! I can spend 1k on a pair of glasses.

How do they get all the measurements like the optician does? For example the
distance between your eyes; the width of your face? Not being critical, just
curious because I have a difficult Rx.




Look at their web page. You can download a 'ruler' on paper that you
can have someone look at for you, or look in a mirror to get the pupil
distance if the eye doctor will not give that to you .

I've been buying all my eyeglasses from Zenni Optical. The have a US
agent but glasses are made in China. Similar glasses made here would
cost 5 times as much. The eyeglass people are screwing us in the US.
You know, I'm not a commie. The money I save goes to American brewers.
Better them than the eyeglass people here.

For example the distance between your eyes;

That's easy to measure yourself and they tell you how to do that.

the width of your face?

Even easier, take a self with a ruler above your eyebrows.

The length of the arms on the glasses isnt quite so easy but
if you have existing glasses its usually stamped on them.
And not hard to adjust when you get them too.

Not being critical, just
curious because I have a difficult Rx.

The main thing that the online systems don't do as well
is where the focus changes vertically with multifocals
and it gets expensive to do trial and error.

An optometrist/ophthalmologist is required by law to give you a complete prescription that you can take elsewhere.Â* If they don't, report them and take your business elsewhere.

But they are not required to give you the pupil distance needed to
properly make a pair of glasses. Not knowing that, the prescription is
useless.

I got mine from the eye doctor but you could do it yourself or have
someone else help you. Several web sites will show you how.

Perhaps, but Four Eyes said they have to give you the prescription.
That is only a portion of what you need.

It may be trivial to measure, but if you are off a couple of mm, you
classes are not going to be very comfortable.

It has to be off by more than that to be very uncomfortable unless
you have severe astigmatism.

I'd find a new eye doctor if they didn't include PD, especially if asked.

And unless your head has been run over by a concrete truck, your PD is unlikely to change in adulthood so it's not necessary to measure on every visit.
