    Update as of June 4/2009 14:00 hrs.

    I called their neighbor, and he graciously went next door to verify why they are not responding. He told me the lights are out and the doors are locked. I hope they have just gone on holidays, but they could have left a message.

    In speaking with a "Toronto Frame Distributor" I have been informed that Kingmex is no longer with us. It looks like the recession has taken another one. This is unfortunate news.

    I just received a phone call from Andrea (prevoisly with Kingmex) to tell me that she is now working for Sun Wise Optical in Mississauga. Apparently, as she told me, the Kingmex owner, without telling anyone "Retired" and the company is closed. The good news is that Sun Wise is shipping my orders and appears able to continue supplying the frame I prevoiusly bought a Kingmex.
